PigsRFlying

Linda--I have that fluttering in my stomach/esoph area when I overeat. I am really curious to hear what your Dr. told you. Please,post the results! I will be calling my doc this week to ask. Silly me, I went in last week and didn't even think about it! Good luck to you!

Jealous and ignore it. If you let her know that it bothers you then she has won! Ignore ,ignore!

I saw this post and knew I had to read it! I worked at Gruene Antique Co. (the big one on the corner!) during my college days! You guys should have a lot of fun! :smile2: Ahhh, the good ol' days!

Is popcorn a "no-no" or is it ok?

I have very insecure friends. This is apt to happen in my near future! They'll either learn to love me or leave me because I won't be staying fat for them!

I want to know how has spinning helped with the weight loss? Did a good chunk fall off when you started? I went to two classes this week and have felt better but am wanting the pounds to just fall off from it! Will they?

Today, I went in for my fourth fill and they said that I have somewhere around 4cc's. This concerns me because I still have a good 50-60 pounds to go. Is this a reason for concern? How many cc's will a 4 cc actually hold? Anyone, with any knowledge on this? Thanx! I have heard that bands actually hold more cc's than they say....

Ghost if you are happy with you, then don't worry about those few extra pounds! I think it's all about being happy with yourself! I know the last pix we saw you looked awesome! :tongue:

Hi! I am still about 50 lbs. away from visiting Plastic-ville, however, how much time do they require you to take off. I am sure it is different depending on the procedure done. At this time I am thinking about a TT and breast lift. Any info. would be greatly appreciated!

You look great! I'd go out with ya!

I watched people spin as I was on the elliptical this morning and was wondering...........Am I in shape enough to do that? So tell me, how is it?

Today, I went to Kohl's because they were having a big sale. I didn't buy anything due to the fact that I still have alot to go. However, I am glad that I tried on stuff because it reminded me that I have a long way to go to get to my goal. I am at 190 which was one of my plateau weights when I was on the way up and don't want to be comfortable here by any means! I am trying my hardest to get to 160 before May.

Not real excited but upping the exercise to try and move it to 160 quickly!

NAME.........Start Weight......... Goal......... Current Weight..... To Go PigsRFlying........230 ............... 150.............. 192............ 42 <!-- google_ad_section_end -->

You guys are doing so great! I'm a creeper but here I come!

Val-I just got my third fill a week and a half ago. I am off of my plateau, not much but 1.5 away from where I was for 6 WEEKS! ugh!

Missy-I have no clue how much I have! I got a fill last week and I had 2.75 in from last time which when they filled it said it was 3.25 so .5 went missing! Now, they put in 1.0 and we'll see how much of it sticks. But I am happy with the restricition that I have at this point. Let's wait and see what it is like in a few weeks!

They say anywhere , I think, from 60-80 grams a day...? Does anyone have any different info? I have the 4cc, HOWEVER, the size only matters for the size of your stomach. This is what my nurse has told me and others umpteen times. Although,she did admit that with the bigger band there will be bigger fills. As for the right tightness, it will be different for everyone no matter what size band you have. It will get there!

Crazy--If I eat high protein I am OK but if I eat something that doesn't stick to your ribs as much then ,yes, in a few hours I am hungry! Look at what you eat when you get hungry in a couple of hours and see how much protein it has. denise-No, I didn't go on it. I am a coward. I will wait until I feel good and if he still wants to go out , fine. If not, there will be others when I am lookin' cute. Thx for askin' and for the info about google, WOW! Manatee-I think she really heard something that made her curious and used the other thing as an excuse to find out exactly what do you look like now?? Laugh and move on! You are looking awesome! JC-I'd like to know about the PS ? also!

Jill--That is the same way I feel! No date till I am at least 168! lol Jc--Congrats on everything! It sounds like your tummy will be back in action quicker than you know! Manatee-I have no clue as to why the ex would want to meet with you if you guys don't have kids , unless, she heard something that she wanted to "check out." Isn't a divorce c'est la vie if kids aren't involved. Sounds pretty fishy to me. Maley-I ,too, am a scuba person but haven't tried since being banded. Nothing new with me other than finally getting off of my frickin plateau! and this fill is pretty tight. After a few bites its pressure! YAY!

looking good girls!

I think they are just there for a little while! Darn it.....they need a permanent Singles Bandster chat room......you never know where you could meet someone! LOL

Hey Guys! I created a room called Single Bandsters, so when you are on here, Come Chat!! dunno if I did it right! lol

Still not ready to put up pix! But yay! for all of you looking great out there! I can totally see more of a difference in you than that of myself~!

Guys, thank you so much for your help. I am going to go and see what happens. Welcome Fanny! Denise-- I am going to tell you about my name, PigsRFlying. 1) The catch phrase "when pigs fly" well, that is something I always said about my being skinny. So, I turned that around into a positive statement that "Pigs R Flying!" 2) The piggie in me is flying away!! Maybe this will help with you calling me pigs......I don't associate anything negative with it!! It's OK but if you still feel weird just call my fly! lol
