100 lbs that is great!!! that is my goal. Im stuck at 50lbs and i know why. I just can get myself to stop grazing during the afternoons. I will not give up. YOu look wonderful and its an inspiration for me . Enjoy the new you!

wow i am so glad to hear that you have not given up. Sept will be my 2 yeays anniv. I have lost 50 lbs and it has been a struggle...mostly because of my habbits and my grazing.

I hope you had a good visit with your Dr. I have littel restriction but i am determined not go back for a fill till i reach the 220's.

Anyway good luck!!!

does anyone understand the Weight Watches new "point PLuss" versus the Old Point system? does it help?

hi, i have been looking @ your pics and it makes me think that i can do it. I have been having slow weight loss and i have been fustrated and ofcourse that makes me want to eat. Anyways, you look great...the surgery pics are tough to look at but i am sure the end result are more than worth it. I already started saving $ towards a tummy tuck/ breast lift for when i reach my goal..50lbs to go

wondering--was it really necessary to have sweet onion kettle chips on the way to work?? not feeling so well now and its only 9am. I am a crunchy carb addict!!

how are you doing??

I have been stuck at the same weight since forever... been slacking of.

BUT it is spring..time to get my Ass to the gym and stop snacking with my kids.

hi Jay how are you? I have not logged on in a while.

I have nto had much change...but its not because of the band. Its because of me and the stuff i am not doing (working out ) and the things i am doing (snacking) that is keeping the scale from moving down.

how are you???

hi Kimma, i have not logged in for while. I guess since nothing much has changed... The scale is still stuck between 230 and 234. I cannot blame the band...i have been eating alot of crappy snacks and slaking of on the work out. Just last week i went back to the gym and now plan on going 2 times a week...hopefully when the warmer weather comes i will increase the workouts.

Anyways thabks ...

hi...just read you most recent blogs and i loved them. I know what you mean about the "poop weighing"" dry dry chicken" and "slime=shower".

I have been stuck at the same weight for the last 4 months... not the bands fault. Lack of motivation and a little saobotage on my part.... i have a new goal for this year. loose 33lbs by my sept Bday.

How is you new veigan diet going?

hi, i have not been on this site for a while... maybe in hidding, or maybe i dont want to admit that i have been slacking off and that is why i have not lost much weight in the last 4 months... i dad my last fill in dec and i am up to 9CC... and still dont have the Sweetspot.. have you gotten there?

I need to get back on track but the horrible winter we are having in MAss id not helping....

hello, its been a while since i have logged in. you are lucking good. when is your due date...i can remember that in my last month i was counting the days..and ten all of the sudden my boys came early... i forgot to pack my bag .

i hope i have pics soon too!! I need to be more positive..i am doing this for myself and my kids I want to be more active with them.

hello, Well its going very slow.

I got my 5th fill last week and i started eating solid food yeaserday and i dont really feel any different... strange? the Dr did say it may take me a little longer to feel that restriction and fullness others get with just a few fills.

It doesnt help that i have twins that i am potty trainning and are constantly asking for treats... so i give them M&Ms and i give myself a treat too...its a bunch of empty calories.

How are thinks with you?

how are you?? have you recovered from your trip to Italy? enyoing the summer?

For me it is going slow... just yesterday i had my 5th fill and i hope this gives me some restriction and gets me closer to the sweet spot.

i just saw the pics and what a change! you must be so proud. can i ask how long it took you to get to your GOAL? the pic witht he goldish dress is gourgeous!!

how are you doing with the band? I am loosing weight very slowly...not been 100% good with my diet but i also have ZERO restriction.

hi, I also have straight hair i have been taking Biotin for the last 2 months i have to say that i am not loosing as much hair as i was before i started taking it. i am also just noticing new growth so i would recommend it. The first month i did not see much change but in the second month i did.

it is a small bill so its easy to swallow. I bought it at Target.

Good morning,

I got mine at Beth Israel in Sept.

Hola Amy, I just read your Once apon a time... blog, and i LOVE it. I can relate to so many of your expecienses. I am just starting this process and it is going slow for me. my goal right now is to be under 200lbs by this Xmas.That means i have to work on getting about 45lbs off.

I love your sence of humor and i will keep reading along to get motivated.

GRACIAS!!

hi...how are you? not seen any updated pics. You are doing so well just wanted to chck in.

hope all is well

hi.. i know exacly what you mean!!

My husband was hesitant at fisrt but now 5 months post op he sees that even wit the Band it is not a quick fix. its hard work and it is something i will be working at for the rest of my life. I have now lost 32 lbs since Sept and it is going slow. I have not been prefect but everyday i start new and tell myself that the weight that is comng off will be gove for ever. I have more energy and that changes my attitude.

I hope you get your Husband on board, he cannot relate and that makes it hard. Good luck.

your kids are adorable.

hi, thanks so much for your nice words about motherhood. I am trying to be strong and ask for help.

I got the band to get myself healthy but also so that my kids can be proud and i can be actively involved in their lifes.

Cant wait to get my 3rd fill, hopefully it will get me closer to the "sweet spot"

thanks again.

hi,

I just read a post where you were suggesting to someone to get an agressive fill.

I am in Band Hell... had a 2nd fill last month and i dont feel any restriction. In total i have 5cc in a 10 cc band. i am so fustrated... i have to wait till the end of March to get my 3rd fill and i am so afraid i will walk into that office without loosing any weight. In almost 5 months i have lost about 30lbs...but i still dont feel it or see it.

Anyways, i think i will be asking for a agrerssive fill in March.

Hope thinks are going well for you.

VERY SLOW

Ok so it has been a week since my sciatica appeared and on Tues it will be a week since i have been on the anti-inflamatories (celebrex) and the Vicodin...wich i can only take after my husband gets home since it makes em loopy :lol:and i really cant stay awake. So i take Tylenol during the day.

I still have pain, i can not go more that 15 mins without feeling the pinch/shock go down my left leg. it is really fustrating because i want to get back to doing my workout at 6am but i get up very lame and i know i have a full day ahead of me with the kids.

To TOP it off...i have gained 3 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!:crying: i am still not feeing any restriction and i have 5 more weeks before my next fill.

i am bumming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, thanks so much for your pic comments. It was really hard to put those pics online but i wanted to have a complete and honest pic journal...so that hopefully soon i will look back and be proud of what i have acomplished.

you look great!!
