  1. What are your questions and concerns?
  2. It took me 5 fills to finally have restriction. I lost 1 lb per week until then and even gained a few in between fills.
  3. 5 lbs is nothing. If you feel comfortable in your body at 135 then stick to it. Good for you!
  4. Good for you. What a nice thought.
  5. Good for you. That would be so nice if they pay.
  6. 16 is my goal. I would be thrilled to get there! Good job.
  7. You look great. Keep up the good work.
  8. kacee, that is fantastic news. I can't wait til I get under 200.
  9. Snappy, everything will be okay. Right now its the healing stage. You shouldn't worry about losing right now. That will come when you start getting fills.
  10. This is completely normal. What you want to consider is how much you actually are eating and are you losing? If you are losing 1-2 lbs per week and still eating normal at night consider yourself lucky. You may want a small fill if need be.
  11. I can eat red meat and lettuce fine.
  12. 800 calories a day is eating like a bandster. 800-1k is normal. 1200 is possible too.
  13. Yes, with proper restriction you will find hunger relief. Good luck.
  14. Do you count calories? Eat between 800 and 1k and you will lose.
  15. I am 25 lbs from goal and will definitley need a TT.
  16. What you are experiencing is normal if you don't have a fill. Keep in mind that it may take several fills before proper restriction.
  17. Wait until you start solids. If you dont have restriction then you will need another fill. Good luck.
  18. Try writing in a journal or something like that. It sounds like you have some true feelings about your infertility that need to get out.
  19. You may want to drop your calories to 800-1k no more than 1200.
  20. Nice NSV. Good job. Happy birthday.
  21. Live your life as you are now and wear a swimsuit. You will have a wonderful time.
  22. If you have to lose 100 lbs it would be considered normal to lose 50-60 lbs.
  23. You should call you surgeon and ask for an anti naseau medication. I used it for about 2 weeks after surgery and it really helped. Good luck.
  24. Yeah, that is the problem. I only want to get to size 14 and that is probably 23 more lbs which would put me at 34 bmi. To get to 25 BMI I would have to get to 165 which is too thin for me. I am hoping at size 14 I will look good enough to have one. Its too hard for me to maintain under a size 14. In fact, I don't even think I've been there before!
  25. That is great results. I am hoping that it will accelerate my exercise as well.
