You've got me! I've reaaaally slowed down. I'm about 77 down. I have 14 to go to my REAL goal, but I've been pretty okay with where I'm at now. CONGRATS to you on 97 lbs!! WOWZA!!! I am actually ready for Christmas. I am just ready for it to be over by now LOL How about you?!?

is energized after a good workout last night! Need to keep it up!

Doing okay. about 72 or 73 down now. This last 10 won't move for anything! But I am happy with the results so far.

Congrats on 80 my dear! WAY TO GO!!!!

Checking in, chica. How the heck are you????

THANK YOU SO MUCH for the kind words! Please, if there are any questions you have or if you need any support during this crazy time, please feel free to reach out! 7 months from now, you will be looking through YOUR successful progress pics and inspiring others too, I promise :-)!

It sounds like you're doing REALLY well! Good for you! I'm so glad to hear it!!! 70 lbs? Woooohoooo--you're sailing right along! I have about 5.3 in my band and just scheduled another fill (3 weeks from now). I am going to sneak up on that sweet spot--I think another .2 or .3 will get me right where I need to be. Here's to hoping!!! Thank God my doc does it under fluoro so he can see the level of restriction!

Lots of luck to you as you continue on your journey! Thanks for keeping me posted! Take care and continue to keep in touch!

Hey girl! SO sorry. I'm awful at checking these messages (I can't believe they don't give you a notification when there is a new message!)

How are things going for you? I was looking at your pics. You look great! How are you feeling? How many fills have you had so far?

Great to hear from you! Can't wait to hear how everything is going for you!

OMG, look at your new profile pic!!! Wooohoo, sexy mama!!! You look AWESOME, girl!!!

Thanks for adding me! Congrats on the 4 lbs loss this week! You're just moving right along!!! Keep up the great work!!!

Thanks so much!! I didn't even see this message until just now. You are doing great too! It's so great to have someone who knows exactly what I'm going through. We definitely will get through this together. Thanks for all of your support1

Christmas was very nice! Hubby surprised me with some U2 tickets and a gorgeous bracelet I have been eyeing up! Amazingly, I didn't get caught up in the food coma that is the Holidays. I weighed in this morning at 185!!!! I can see my goal! I just need to get off my butt and exercise LOL!

I get my first fill next week (1/14). I am hoping that will be all I need, but I'm prepared that won't be the case because I can certainly pack that food in LOL! Did you have nice Holidays? Let me know how it goes next week!

I am so sorry--I never get notification when I get a new message! Thanksgiving wasn't too bad believe it or not. I'm just wondering when the heck I'm going to start losing again. The scale has just stopped moving and I feel like I'm struggling more now than I did before. I get my first fill on Jan 14. Hoping the weight loss picks up after that.

How is everything going with you?

OMG-- I never get notification of these messages coming in. SO sorry I didn't respond to this! Yeah, I housed the whole freaking sandwich with no issue! I'm wondering if I will ever stop struggling :-(!

Hey girl! how goes it?!? How are you doing? Haven't heard from you in a little while, so I wanted to check in :-)!

Hope all is well!

Haha, I think I'm going to try some tonight. I'm on soft now, so I'm sure a little won't hurt. I've had everything (bread, pasta, rice)--no issues at all! I swear I don't even have a band!! LOL--we are in the same weight loss pattern--19 lbs was lost before surgery, so we're at the same and I'm sooooo stalled right now. Oh well, hopefully it'll pick up after my fill.

How are you doing?

OMG I am SOOOO like that! I have heard the hungry feeling means we're healing, so hopefully it's a sign of good things! I actually am wondering if there really is a band in there--I have had pasta , wheat toast and rice this weekend and nothing bothered me at all. My biggest fear is stretching my pouch right now. I mean, I'm not going to bring a measuring cup with me to formal events, so I stop myself when I think I've eaten a cup, but I could definitely keep going. I don't even have issues with not chewing food well enough. What the heck is that about anyway?!? LOL

I hope you're doing well!!!

Hi there, Dawn. I saw you were banded on October 23. I got mine on 10/21. To date, I've lost 15 lbs, which I know I should be happy with because we're still healing, but holy crap, how in the world did you lose 30+ LBS since surgery!!! That's amazing, congrats! I'm from NJ too (South Jersey) --who did your surgery? Dr Goldstein out of Voorhees did mine and I must say he's freaking great!

Good luck on your continued successs!!! Glad to have someone else that's on the same time frame as me!!!

Hi there! I'm having a heck of a time figuring out the private messaging feature, so apologies for just responding now. Things are going well. I weighed in last night at 199.8 (OMG, I haven't seen this site of 200 in 6 years!!!) I had my surgery on 10/21, so total lost since then is 13.2 lbs. I've been told that's "atypical", so I'm expecting not to be losing much more in the coming weeks until my first fill which won't be probably won't be until mid to late December. Maybe Santa can bring me my first fill for Christmas LOL!

How are you feeling? Are you back to work? This freaking puree stage is killing me, but I think a couple of great friends on here that are going through this at the same time will get us all through.

Thanks for adding me to your friends list!!!!

Hi there! I FINALLY got back on line. Comcast had to replace my modem today. SO HOW ARE YOU?!? I'm a little sore, and thankfully not as hungry as the previous few days, so things are good here. I've lost 10 lbs since the surgery as of Monday! Hopefully next time I go I'll be under 200!

Anyway, I think I accepted your friend request LOL. this thing is a little confusing LOL. Keep me posted. I am dying to hear!!!
