HEllo everyone!!! Glad to hear that some of you are still loosing... I go for my second fill on the 23rd (I think?? or 24th) I had my first fill Feb. 12th still no weight loss, still can eat ANYTHING and not feeling motivated at all. I need to sit down and really get my head and heart back in this game of life. So much going on, just one exscuse after another!!! Adamsmom, I truly hope everything picks up for you on a positive note, take this time to get in some extra workouts.. I know easy for me to say, I have not done anything but I take advantage of this and I hope your son is doing better, I still have him in my thoughts

Adamsmom, I have had you and your family in my thoughts! I wish you the best of luck tomorrow, it is not as bad as I had thought. :cursing: I go for my second fill on the 23rd, had to reschedule due to the snow, I am trying to keep my mouth shut as I am STARVING.

Adamsmom, I am so SORRY to hear your news :wink: I do not even know what to say.... IT sucks that we can bail out the auto industry and not our school systems, that are our future!!! I am sure you will find a GREAT new job to go with the great new you. Be positive and confident and I am sure all will work itself out.. look at all that you have accomplished this year already. As for your son, I truly hope that everything works out for him. Life is hard enough and I will keep him in my thoughts !

HMMM I iwill try this again

YES tha has happened to me as well... I need to focus on chewing better and not drink as much when I eat.. I think I am using that to fix my lacking of taking my time I FINALLY figured out how to upload pitchures... As some of you know we had six puppies, lost one and I posted 3 pics of my new babies!! I hope this works.

Amymoe, I am with you... since my fill I have not lost a lb either. Cherbear and Burrygirl you guys are doing great!!! I go for my next fill on Tuesday so I am hoping that will pick up the speed and get me to start moving again. Adamsmom, I hope all is well with you and your son. This is my daughters first year in middle school, although she is not autistic it is brutal so I can only imagine how hard it must be for him. I never remember kids being so mean when I was growing up I hope things work out for him. My computer just sent me an e-mail that a response had been made, I had not gotten anything since last Tuesday.. anyone else having this problem?? Hope evereyone has a great day :-)

O.K. guys, I just made it home from my first fill I am on cold liquids for 24 hours, then broth etc. (liquids) for another 24 hours, them soft foods (eggs, seafood) for 48 hours then regular food. I weighed in today at a whopping 221.8:crying: I wanted to CRY right there in the office. My Dr. was very nice, told me that today is officially day 1 with my band... everything up till now was just a healing process. WE WILL SEE?? He wants to see me back in 2 weeks and if needed I will get another fill. He only gave me 1.5 he said he likes to take it slow and do a re-check every 2 weeks for the first 60 days of the fill process as the sooner he finds my "sweet spot" the better off I will be. I will let you know how Wed. goes when I wake up and try to eat my eggs!! ** My port is right under my largest scar he put the needle in (after cleaning etc.) had me push my tummy put as far as possible and lift my head off the pillow and it was not that bad. I was really suprised. I did have to drink 8oz of water before I was allowed to leave. FAST,EASY and PAINLESS.. AND YES I AM A BABY

Jill...OMG I am so sorry!!! I do not want to get stuck, I have made it this far with no side effects so I have no clue what it must feel like but from reading that I do not want to know. My daughter travels for dance and gymnastics and we are on travel for the next 4 weekends and like you we all go out to eat as a group:confused: You can not get protein drinks down.. oh crap I am not looking forward to tomorrow. I will let you know how it goes. Were you on any special instructions for the first day?? I have heard that some people are on cold liquids only etc. THANKS FOR SHARING and good luck

WOHOOOOO My ticker worked!!! BUT it looks like crap

Maybell, I am right with you... I CAN EAT anything I go for my fill on Monday and I know this sounds crazy but Jillbengt, I hope and pray I can't eat anything for a few days. My weight has gone up and dows, I had gotten down to 213 and wow was I excited NOT FOR LONG, it creeped back up to 219 AHHHHH. Please keep us posted, I am really curious to see how things progress for you, and I hope you are able to eat the normal small protions soon without being stuck. Cherbear exercising makes a BIG difference on your abs and skin. I know some of you already know my journey and for that I am sorry if i bore you but I started at 347, got down to 210 THOUGHT I was happy had a tummy tuck and yes was a full blown exercise nut for that 2 year process :-) I was in the gym 7 days a week and had a trainer 3 days. I have really fallen off the wagon, went up to 240 stopped exercising and my stomache is a little flabby now... and that is after only loosing 21lbs... big difference. If I can figure out how to take pics, I will post mine her so that you can see them. Please take note that I had my surgery in 2003... my son was 3 and I was in all my glory. You can still see my scar, not that bad though I am fair skin and will say this was one of the best things that I have EVER done. I still love my waist my ASS, legs and arms are my problem as well as my CHINSSSSS (hehe). I did deliver another baby (Joey) in 2007 and as you will see I did not stretch that much. (My sister in law as MS and I carried a Joey for her and my brothere.... I thought I was done my kids are 9 and 11) If anyone can help me with a quick post lesson I would appreciate it. P.S. Cherbear thanks for all the good websites!! And I am trying my ticker for the first time... keep your fingers crossed!

Hello everyone :-) Amymoe, I am so happy that you are feeling better... I was really worried about what was going on. I have eaten bread and have had no problems! I seem to be able to eat and eat and eat. I get my first fill on Monday and I can not wait, originally I was supposed to go today but I got pushed back a few days. I am so nervous but thanks to the positive words I am hoping to have a easy fill as well.

WOW a size 20 :smile: Congrats Adamsmom... I have no clue how to post the ticker either but mine would change everyday. Up and down on the SAME 3lbs. I know we can do this if we just stay on track the weight will come off.

You guys are doing so great!! I am very happy for you all. Unfortunatly all of my clothes still fit :thumbdown: I guess I need to pick up the pace to keep up with you guys.

Congrats Burgygirl:thumbup: That is an awesome accomplishment. I hope I will great numbers like yours to post next week ?? I am hungry all the time, I feel like I could eat a horse so I am hoping once I get my fill next week, I will feel some restriction. I am going out to Dinner with my in-laws on V-Day and am so nervous We are going to Ruth Chris.... I am hoping to eat some chicken. I hope it all goes well.
