Is the Opti-Fast the worst part? - Please?
Hope everything went well for you today Taymac, i was hoping i would have had a chance to meet with you today, i was at the clinic for my second fill but you were in recovery still when i arrived. I will talk to you later, all the best to you. :hug: Maria

Only a few more hours to go......
Congratulations Doriana, glad everything went well for you, that would have been horrible, going thru all that yogurt and cottage cheese diet, and then not band you. Glad the Dr. had the sense to say GOOD TO GO. Alas the gas pain is part of the recovery, they say a heating pad and moving around along with the gas-x helps. All the best to you in your recovery. Talk to you soon. Hugs :hug: Maria

Maria's Memo
Well i went for my second fill today, as this month i have not lost any weight, and i am not feeling satisfied with my smaller portions of food. Everything went well no problems. I am at 5cc now so lets hope i start losing again. I will not be around for the next few days, my son-in-law is going to be working on my computer, he is going to update it for me. So have a good weekend everyone, and hopefully i will be back on by Monday. :hug: :hug: Maria

Yoda you did great with the fudge, and i am sure Mr. Yoda would rather have you as a treat anyday. Mr Yoda can have the fudge as an after treat. :eyebrows: Maria:)

To fill or not to fill???
I agree with what has already been said Delta, averaging 2.5 lbs a week is awesome, i would hold of on getting a fill for awile yet. Your weight loss is awesome, i would love to have that much already. You are doing great. Maria:)

Chronicles of Cloe!!!!!
That is one good thing in her favour Cloe, she did not drop out of school, and she does know that you are there for her. It is always good keep on good terms, maybe not with him but with your daughter. My husband and i never liked my oldest daughter's second husband, we had a hard time accepting him, but you know what he turned out to be okay, at least okay enough for us to tolerate him for my daughter's sake. Things will work out for the best Cloe. Sending lots of hugs your way.:hug: :hug: :hug: Maria:)

Maria's Memo
So last night i went to the movies with my daughter and a friend and her daughter, mom and daughter night out, we were supposed to go see the Queen, but it started too late so we ended up going to see Santa Claus 3. I have not been to the movie theatre since before i was banded, so i was looking forward to see how i would fit in the seat, and it was GREAT i had lots of room, i could even put my coffee cup in the holder and not knock it over with my elbow. You know when you have a BIG butt and you sit down how it spreads out, well my daughter leans over and says to me mom i don't feel you touching me ( you know between the seats) we had lots of space between us. What a wonderful feeling, i loved it. As for the movie, it was okay, i like Tim Allen, but i am not too crazy for Martin Short, i know he is a good old Canadian boy. The funniest part was at the end when they were showing some of the Bloopers. Well at least the movie got us into the Christmas spirit.
