Very slooooowly. lol. I've lost 50.5 pounds to date, but the last 10 or 12 have been slow. I've stalled quite a bit. But, people are starting to notice. Maybe it's cuz I bought clothes that fit. Haha. How about you?

YW - I hate it when people gang up other people. It's one thing to offer advice, but it's another when they beat you over the head with it and treat you like you're stupid. Good luck!

It's been sooo much easier since the fill, but I think I'm already ready for another one. I get full, but I don't stay full for very long.

Hello, friend. Just checkin on u. How's everything goin? Have you had your first fill yet? Hope everything's goin good...

Yeah, I had a fight with myself today. Unfortunately the addict in me won big time. I was watching Food Network (ugh! y do I do that to myself!? lol) n Alton Brown was popping popcorn on the stove, and I remember my mom popping it that way. N I wanted to fascinate my son with the non-microwave kind popping on the stove. I ended up fascinating myself with how well popcorn goes down. Oh well - it's just one night. Back on track now by golly!! And no more Food Network for me. (maybe)

I lost about 12 pounds prior to my first fill... I was 272.9 at my highest and 261 at surgery. I don't know remember exactly what my weight was at my first fill, but it was about... 250(?). I lost 10-12 pounds during liquids, then gained back a pound or two on solids waiting on the fill. I had my first fill April 21, a little over six weeks from surgery. My doc wouldn't do it before the six weeks. I can't imagine having to wait 8!! Hang in there, though - it's worth it!

Just saw your before/after in the pics only thread...omg ur so friggin hot! I mean that in the most hetero-sexual way possible. lol. I wanna be hot, too!!! You're my new inspiration.

According to my anatomy, that's what I needed. I guess my insides don't correspond with my outsides.
