160lbs for me today. That (160lbs)was my inital goal but now I think I want to lose another 5lbs. I'm loving my band!

Hi Crimson & welcome! You and I share the same WLS date. Your doing awesome, congratulations! :wink2:

It's the greatest feeling to walk into a store with my 13 year old daughter and be able to buy trendy clothes at the same place. I'm ditching the "specialty" stores forever! My husband doesn't appreciate my new found love of shopping though. LOL! I was 18/20, now wear 9/10!!!

167lbs for me this morning. I only lost a pound this entire month. On the bright side... I didn't gain. I'm only 12lbs from goal 8 months out! How GREAT is that!

I'm down 3lbs since my last post on 10/30. Coming in at 168lbs, 13lbs more lbs to go to be at goal. I give thanks everyday that I was blessed with a great family and the BAND.

171lbs for me this morning. Went in for a slight unfill this afternoon, was at 6.6cc now 6.3cc. Now that the weather has gotten cooler seems like my band has gotten tighter. I was only able to consume 1/4c of food per meal, and had the stuck feeling all the time. Just had dinner and the tiny unfill seems to have worked. Hope I don't start to gain - SELF CONTROL!

172lbs for me this beautiful Friday afternoon! Life is GREAT! :closedeyes:

I have BCBS IL and had to go through the 6 months also. Once my Dr. & I got everything required by ins. I was approved within a week, scheduled for surgery within 2wks. I had no out of pocket expenses other than co-pays. So the wait for me paid off itself! Its true six months does go by fast! Those six months help me prepare for the life changing experiences that I would be facing. Like many of us, I'm sure you have been over for quite some time now. What’s another six months??

When the hubby and I go out eat I never order a plate of food for myself. I always order an extra plate and share. Restaurants always serve big portions anyway. Doesn't make since to spend all that $ on food when I'd rather go shopping for a smaller pair of jeans with that $!

Since my weight loss I have noticed a major decrease in my libido. I do not initiate it myself, if hubby does then fine. But it’s not on the top of my list of things to do. My doctor says the body goes into shock with major weight loss and that everyone’s body reacts differently. I lost me some libido and hair.

176 lbs for me this week. It's also my TOM and I’m eating a little more sweets than I should. Not to mention Halloween is right around the corner and candy is all over the office. The Holidays will be rough for sure!

Came in at 177lbs today. I have 6.6cc in a 10cc band w/5 fills - My sweet spot for sure! Life is Good!

I'm happy to report 182lbs

I have trouble remembering to take pills, so my DR recommended Nuva Ring. I've been using it for two months & love it! I have not had any weight gain or swelling.

I have had 4 fills with no numbing meds. I only want to get pricked once so I'd rather go without. Fills have never been an issue for me, painless and quick.

Super Excited!! :wink2: Got on the scale today and it was 199lbs! That was one of my mini goals to be in "Onerland" :scared2:

My 3 month banniversary was 7/6, I also had my 4th fill that day. I have lost a total of 53lbs, 31lbs since surgery! I have good restriction now that I'm at 6.5cc. Normally I workout 4 times a week. But with the scorching heat here in S.Texas I have not worked out in 2 weeks . I need to get my butt in gear!!

B- 1/2 of cheese stick, sf pudding L- 1/2 cup chicken & broccoli S- 1oz roasted almonds D- 3oz bbq pork rib 2tbls mash potato

I was told not to use a straw and I don't. When I forget and use one my shoulder and neck hurts. Gas pains I suppose. Needless to say I don't use one.
