I'm in the same boat ladies. I haven't lost anything for about a month and a half now. My scale is between 200-202. It sucks. I had to get a little unfilled last fill because I couldn't even eat a grape without it getting stuck. I can't seem to find my happy medium. We have to have faith though, I refuse to let this get me down. If it wasn't for my band I wouldn't have got as far as I did.

I also didn't' make my goal of 20 lbs... I kinda figured that I set it too high again. I did lose 11 pounds though!

Hey Debbie! You should put down your start weight at the beginning of the challenge not your start weight from the beginning of your journey. Good luck!!

Hey everyone! So I finally got my 3rd fill yesterday. They added 1.25 ccs so now I have a total of 6.25 ccs in my 10 cc band. I'm really feeling the restriction now! Water- I have to drink really slow or it comes up. I'm loving it! Also I've lost another 3lbs so that's always good! I'm excited again!

Hey everyone, So I just got back from my EGD and they found nothing!!:redface: So the next step is the wanna do an MRI on my shoulder and if that doesn't show anything they want to do a scope through my navel to see the outside of the band. Sorry I don't have any good news to report :crying:

Congrats Shelly I know you will make your goal by Wednesday!! I have my EGD tomorrow to find out why I still have left shoulder pain. Wish me luck! Also I weighed myself this morning and the scale finally moved down a little!! I really want to lose 20lbs by the 4th of July and I hope once they find out whats going on with my shoulder maybe I can get back on the horse again. I hope everyone is doing well.

I started out at 89 lbs overweight and my bmi was I think between 37-38 and I also was approved.

Hey Bandsters!! I'm so excited to tell you what happened to me last week. One of my friends hosted a dinner to show ways to prepare healthy and nutritious food. She said that she heard about it though someone else and went to a dinner just like it and immediately thought of me since I'm banded. The “chefs” made fried chicken, mashed potatoes, corn, peas, carrots, a salad and a cake. The whole dinner was under 500 calories!! How do you ask?? Well it was the cookware. I'm not sure if any of you have heard of Salad Master, but if you haven't, you're truly missing out. The main points I would like to point out about it is: · This cookware is top-of-the-line. · It helps people by saving time in preparation and saving money because there's less food wasted (due to their cooking process that doesn't "shrink" food but rather cooks it in its own juices.) · The food is also better for you because less of the nutrients are cooked out (compared to other cookware.) I was so intrigued by the whole thing that I decided that night to host a dinner just as my friend did. I hosted my first dinner last night with my husband's parents and a couple from my job. The dinner was such a success that I wanted to show more people. So if you live near the Fort Worth area and would like to have a free dinner so that I can show you this amazing cookware please let me know!

Thank you Laura for doing this!! And of course I'm in, I gotta make up for the Shrinko De Mayo Challenge!!! I'm setting a goal of 20 lbs and I know that's probably high but I have my wii fit, my brand new salad master cookware, and I'm getting my EGD on the 19th so I feel I have a better chance at this now!! :thumbsup: Name...........Start Lbs......Current..........Goal.......To Go Laurr925..........240...............240...............220........20 luv2scuba........201...............201...............185........16 NcsQueen..........215...............215...............195.........20

I also failed my challenge but I did lose 6 lbs total. I think it has to do with not having a enough restriction and this constant shoulder pain I get. Hopefully on the 19th I'll find out what's going on. Congrats to everyone who made their goals and to the ones who did lose something. A loss is a loss and that's something to stay positive about!

Congrats to you Shelly on your weight loss. I do hope your careful next time though, that could've been really bad. I'm glad your ok though! And Congrats to you Babe on your NSV!!!! I'm like you have been going between 214-219 lately. No losses, and I was scheduled for my 3rd fill on the 19th but it got pushed back a week because of the EGD if have to get for my shoulder pain. I'm kinda bummed that the weight was coming off so fast in the beginning and now its just stalling. I failed my Shrinko De Mayo challenge but I did lose 6 lbs total from it. I don't want it to get to me too bad, maybe I'll measure myself later. I hope you all are doing well and we must keep in touch. Later!

Thank you everyone for responding to my post. I will keep everyone updated when it happens.

Thank you Joanie and Tyman311, I will keep you both updated.
