Weigh-in last night and this past week I've lost 6 POUNDS!!! Total weight loss 38lbs!!!
About a month ago I said I wanted to lose 13lbs by Mother's Day Weekend and a couple weeks ago I had given up hope because I hadn't lost any weight. Low and behold I've lost 11lbs in 2 weeks and now I am 2lbs away from that goal. I think I am going to make it!!!
NSV-I went jogging last night and as I was putting on my fanny pack, it wouldn't fit so I adjusted the straps as much as I could til I finally had to take the extender off. I have never worn that fanny pack without the extender and I don't need it anymore!!! It makes me feel like I'm practically a normal size person. I know it sounds silly, but I am proud!!!
WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

I went for my second fill last Monday. I was filled to 2.75cc in my 4cc band. I was feeling way too tight the next day. It took me about 2 hours to finish a 4oz protein shake and I went from drinking 64oz of water a day to barely getting in 20. The next day after our group meeting at the hospital I decided to let the nurse know and she said it sounded like I was too tight and I could easily get dehydrated if I didn't get some taken out. So I did! My Dr. removed .5cc from my band so now I'm at 2.25cc and now I have very good restriction!!! I'm eating about 1/2cup of food at each meal, I'm satisfied, and I'm not having any food problems...NO PBs...knock on wood!
:update: After being stuck at 252lbs for 3 weeks I finally weighed-in at 247lbs when I went for my fill so I lost 5lbs in one week. I lost that weight the week before my second fill when I barely had any restriction so it was mostly WILLPOWER. I worked my butt off to lose those 5lbs!!! I can't wait to weigh-in tomorrow to see how much weight I've lost since having the fill! WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!!! :bounce: :high5: :nod:

I must have missed your last post. What a bummer!!! Dr. Bonomo is great though isn't he? We are in very good hands! I hope you get rescheduled very soon!!!

Thanks for the encouragement. I don't think I was at a plateau...I was just eating too much!:-) I know it will get better!!!
-
WOW, you WILL be arriving in ONE-derland very soon!!!!! Yes, I've heard the same thing...working out on an empty stomach goes right to burning body fat instead of the food you've eaten!
-
I am rooting for ya!!! YES YOU CAN!!!

Well I haven't really lost any weight in the past couple weeks. Still 27lbs down and stuck at 252lbs! :bored I had my first fill 2 weeks ago and I do feel some restriction, but I am still able to eat quite a bit. I started counting calories last week to try to get this scale to move. I've been staying under 1000cal/day so I'm hoping that helps. I haven't weighed myself since Tuesday, but I will when I go to the hospital tomorrow for my 2nd fill. I absolutely hate counting calories so I'm hoping with proper restriction I won't have to. We'll see if the second fill will get me there! I have less than 2 weeks left for Las Vegas and was hoping to lose 13lbs by then. Doesn't look like that's gonna happen so I'll take ANY loss at this point. On a positive note, I've been working out everyday and my body is definitely changing so I feel good about that!!!:love:

WOW!!!! Only 4 more days!!! I am so happy for you...your time has finally arrived. Girl, don't worry about the steak...you can't un-eat it. Just get back to your liquids. You will be fine!!! I can't wait to see you at the post-op meetings to see how everything went. Best of Luck to You!!!

I know exactly how you feel! I had my first fill last Monday. I do feel some restriction, but not enough. Still able to eat quite a bit. I go back Monday 4/30 for my second fill so I'm hoping this will be the one. It may take a couple fills to reach your "sweet spot", so hang in there! Don't give up!

WAY TO GO SHEILA!!!!

Thanks ladies! Now if I can only get my make-up to look like yours Sheila! :-)

We were banded around the same time and I agree...staying in control can be hard aroung this time. WW is a great idea! Good Luck and Happy Journaling!

Along with losing weight I will be going through a hair transformation at the same time. I have been wanting to go ALL NATURAL for years, but never had the guts to do it. I wanted to totally transform myself so I stopped relaxing my hair about the same time I decided to get banded. I couldn't think of a better time to start! After growing a couple inches of new growth I finally chopped off all my relaxer. I went and got my eyebrows arched, put on some make-up and some cute earrings to ROCK MY TWA (teeny weeny afro)! I can't keep my fingers out of my hair...I love the way it feels! This is the hair that God gave me and it is beautiful! I can't wait til it grows long enough to put a flower in it or to wear some twists. I have to be sure to get in at least 60g of protein a day so I won't lose what little hair I do have. Watch out as my HAIR GETS BIGGER and my BODY GETS SMALLER! :biggrin1:

I hope you have some good restriction. How much fill did you get and what size band do you have?
