Happy 38th Birthday rtm!

Glad to hear that you're doing so great! My second fill went well too. Turns out that I actually had 2 ccs in from when they primed at the surgery, which is why it was so tight with the extra 3 ccs. Now I have a total of 3 ccs and I feel a littled restriction too. I'm still eating less than before surgery, but I'm looking forward to even more restriction. I'm down a total of 39, so I'm happy with that. I was great with walking and working out in the beginning, but the last month has been hard. I'm going on vacation next week and plan to do a ton of walking!! How about you? I'm so excited that I'm just starting to fit in non-plus sized clothes. What a NSV!! Looking forward to hearing about your progress!!!

Well my fill went great. I am finally feeling a little bit of restriction, but not a lot. I am finally down about 40 lbs and glad to see the scale back in the downward spiral. I hope your fill goes great! I look forward to hearing about it and how you're feeling! Aside from slow... how has your weight loss been going? How much are you down? Do you work out at all? I hope all is well and look forward to keep in touch with you.

Hi! Long time since I've checked messages! Did you have your next fill? Sorry to hear about the chugging adventure. Thanks for the heads up. I go back next week for a fill and boy do I need it. With only .5 in, I can eat more than I'd like. My weight loss is crawling, but I'm happy that at least it's going in the right direction. Can't wait to hear how it was after the second fill. Do you notice a different? Look forward to the update!!

I'm thankful he didn't take any out b/c I have zero restriction and 7/24 can't come fast enough. he wants me to be down 10 lbs before my next visit... hmmm... that's not going so well. What else is new? Are you eating low carb or just eating smaller portions? I hope that you are doing better since your unfill... I'm sorry he had to take some out. Are you feeling restriction? I hope you are doing fantastic and it is GREAT to hear from you!

Thank you so much for the sweet birthday wishes for my munchkin! How are yoU? My fill went ok... I ended up throwing up or PBing the water I drank... I didn't realize I was supposed to SIP the water and I was thirsty so I chugged it... BIG MISTAKE! I didn't ask (like a dummy) how much he put in. After the water came back up it has been fine since. I still have zero restriction and my weight loss has slowed to a crawl. Piper is SOOO ugly! Her temper tantrums and terrible twos are a bit out of control... she too seems to be enjoying that I play with her more and we walk or bike ride everyday! Wow... your dr took out a lot... when do you go for another fill? Mine was REALLY tight the day I was filled and then the next day I was fine.

Happy Birthday, Piper!

How did your fill go? How are you feeling? I got my first fill on 6/23. My doc put in 3ccs and within a day, I found it difficult to get liquids down without pain in my chest. I thought maybe it was swelling, but I worried that I was too tight. On 6/26, my docs took out 2.5ccs, so I'm back to eating comfortably. I hope the weight loss continues! Hope everything is great with you--how's Piper? Chloe is doing great and she's excited that I have more energy these days.

Hey darlin'! How are you? How are things going? How's Chloe?? I hope everything is wonderful!

Hey sweets! I am so excited for you that you are doing so well! Piper hasn't really taken an interest in my shake but I drink it more at work than at home. The chocolate it my absolute favorite! I add some heavy whipping cream and some psyllium husk powder... it's a dream! I wish I could say that I feel the same way as far as not being hungry... but I stay pretty hungry these days. I go for my first fill on Friday 6/19... I'll keep you posted on how it goes... what's new with you? Things still progressing well!

25 pounds?! That's fantastic!! (By the way, the JayRobb tropical dreamsicle is sooooo good. Chloe tries to drink it every time I make it. Has Piper taken an interest in your shakes too?) Don't worry about the pound. It's going to be a learning experience for us to eat with the band. I can't believe how little I eat before I'm ready to push the plate away--something I rarely did before. I just got back from Chili's and watched my family scarf as I ate one wedge of a quesadilla and that was it, I was full. I've been using my crock pot like crazy and making some low carb high protein stuff that's been pretty good. It's great to have people starting to notice. I'm down about 17 lbs and people I work with are suddenly stopping me and asking what I'm doing to lose the weight. It's so nice. Can't wait to hear about how things are progressing for you. Keep up the great work!!

How are things going? How are you feeling? How is your WLS going?? I hope everything is fantastic!!

Awe... Chloe is so adorable! Things are wonderful here. I was down 25 lbs but gained back 1 lb when I started soft food... it really hurt my feelings... but whatever. I will definately let you know how the fill goes! I'm a bit anxious about it also. I just found this fantastic protein shake for my late nights at work. It is 25 grams of protein, no carbs, no fat, no sugar and only 110 calories. It's by jayrobb and is whey protein. I didn't care for the strawberry but the chocolate is a dream!! I just ordered a single serving pina colada and tropical dreamscicle online today and can't wait to try them. They keep me full for a good bit of time. They're nice when you don't have enough breaks at work or time to cover all of your meals! I am so glad to hear you're doing great! Piper is doing wonderful, adjusting well. Well have to get back to work but it's great to catch up... I'll talk to you again soon!

I'm getting my first fill on 6/23, so you'll have to give me the heads up on how it was. I'm such a wuss with needles, so I'm terrified of one going in my belly. I'm doing great! How about you? Hope that you're feeling great too. I started soft foods on Monday and it is just soooo liberating to be able to eat a little bit and then lose your appetite. Chloe keeps asking me if I'm getting enough protein--amazing how kids pick up on everything! How's Piper?
