Thanks! good to know I'm not alone!! My husband says he can make a barbie doll wig with the hair in the shower everyday :biggrin: UGH!

congrats!!!!! :biggrin:

Well I haven't checked in, in quite some time...but here are the stats as of today weight 230.5. Got a fill tuesday and haven't been able to hardly eat anything. I may have to go back and have them take some out.

243 here....I can't wait for July 2nd and another fill! :sad:

You look great! Congrats on such an awesome weight loss so far!!!

Hey Shelly, whats your actual weight this week - as I have 249 as last week's weight. Sorry ! :tongue_smilie: 245.5 lbs

Yep, cc's and mL's are equal.

My surgery was April 27th (no fill during surgery). 1st fill was June 2nd for 4cc in a 11 cc band.

WHY?! Can't that hair fall out on our legs, underarms, bikini line or UPPER LIP? Yeah...just don't understand it. I'm down 1.5lbs or maybe just 0.5. It's been the same so long I can't remember :drool:

Weight: I'm down 31 pounds or so (8 of that pre-band) from surgery day on April 27th. I lost a lot in the first two weeks post-op and stalled. Then lost 3-5 more after my first fill and now another stall. Fills: 1 fill on June 2nd. 4cc in an 11cc band. It felt really weird and I could barely get liquids down for two days after. Restriction: Now I have restriction, I can fit about a cup of food down or less. I'm rarely hungry. Rules: My doc told me lean Protein and veggies. I was doing great up until the first fill. Not being able to get much in there makes me more of a mad snacker. Tiny portions of food here and there. Like 15 cheezits for dinner. Hey, it's what looked good at the time. Why am I not loosing weight when I'm eating like a bird? I'm sure it's because my body is in starvation mode. So I'm about to get back on the salads again- I was doing great with those. Anything else: I was exercising regularly on my treadmill prior to the fill. The fill and no eating for two days after made me so weak all I did was sleep when I had the chance. Then I started feeling more energy and work, kids, life got in the way and I burned myself out and now have had a miserable summer cold for 4 days. I'm burned out, wiped out and wish I had the energy or desire to exercise. I know that is all I need to jump start another 5lbs off. I'm just too tired to care! I hope to be feeling better by Monday and get back on the treadmill and throw in some pilates. (and have a better attitude!) I am getting my Water in tho, which is a plus for me!

I'm a little late in posting here, but here goes. My highest weight before surgery was 277lbs. Surgery day 269. Friday's weight 249. Glad for the fill last week, I was sitting at 251 for a while!

HOW FUNNY!!!! I love it!! :redface:

I got my first fill yesterday. It didn't hurt at all! The worst part was waiting to be seen. My band was empty and she put in 4cc. Sounds like a lot considering what I've been reading but today feels fine. I am on liquids until tomorrow and feel better today. Yesterday I was wiped out, probably because I only had half a protein shake and water. Today I was able to get in soups and a protein shake. Lost another 2lbs, I'm so excited! Next fill is scheduled for July 2nd.

I just got my first fill today and had no idea where my port was until then. Mine is one inch above my belly button and two inches to the left. It's not in the way of pants or bras. Let's hope it stays put!

OK! I ate a chocolate chip cookie last night. :frown: After not having anything sweet for so long- it really didn't taste that great. It certainly didn't feel as good as it does when you get on the scale and see a NEW, lower number. My reward to myself for confessing to you all is an extra 5 minutes on the treadmill today.
