Just saw your message...I always forget this is here! Congrats on being banded!

Just saw your message about my tinkerbell. I was just thinking yesterday that I think I'll put her back. I miss her too!

Thanks Anne! I see you're getting banded in April. I'll tell you it was a life changing experience for me...and one I never have a moments regret about.

Doing fine...just having a wild spring cleaning urge and I figure I'd better take advantage of it while I still have the urge and the energy!

You just did. I try to take the time to encourage others because I know that when someone takes the time to cheer me on, my flagging resolve gets a boost. So thank you. I've been enjoying your blog and your posts, by the way. It's nice to read about someone who actually did lose all their excess weight and not just stall with 30 or 40 pounds still to go. Thank you!

Hey...love your picture by the way. You are looking good!

Not yet. It was pretty bad last night. I'm going to Walmarts to get the patches today and we'll see. If I don't get some relief and sleep soon...I'm going to have to kill something. Here kitty kitty...;-p

Welcome to the club. ;-p

I had such a busy day today that I forgot to drink my protein shake mid-afternoon and I didn't get dinner until 6:15. I was too tired to cook so I ended up eating some leftover rice pilaf with a couple spoonfuls of gravy (from dinner the other night) and half a cup of brussel sprouts. Think I'll make my snack tonight a double scoop of protein powder to make up for no protein at dinner. I'm just too darned tired to worry about eating tonight.

I'm at 8.5cc in a 12cc band. How're you doing with your fill? Any noticeable difference?

Good luck with your next fill! I didn't realize just how much restriction made a difference! Although I have to say that it will probably all even out somewhere. Sometimes I'll drop 5-6 pounds in a week and then won't lose for a couple weeks. It seems almost like my body wants to average out at 2 lbs per week...but then that's probably because I refuse to exercise so it all comes down to making sure I stay around 1200 calories.

Hi Leigha,

Yes, my ticker is accurate. I'm down to 219 now. Woohoo! Ever since my next to last fill about 3 weeks ago, I've had lovely restriction. I had a fill and noticed that, as usual, after a week I lost restriction, so instead of waiting another week, I immediately went in for another .5cc and bingo! Instead of yo-yoing for that second week, I kept on losing. Only 19 more pounds and I'm in onderland!

Thank you Leigha! Courtesy makes the world a much nicer place and I try not to offend people if I can help it.

Why thank you kindly .

Hey there LBB...glad to hear it went well and you're doing well. This has been much easier than I anticipated after reading through the threads for the past 3 weeks. I came back to work this morning just because it was so darned uncomfortable sitting still.
