Finally did it, goal obtained...150. How is everyone else? Noone seems to be utilizing this anymore...

Slow and steady is right, I have 5 more to go, last few pounds are taking FOREVER to come off it seems like. Came back for some motivation from looking at other's pictures...

156 days since surgery, 15 more pounds to go, 60 lost in total, 40 after surgery. Got a breast augmentation and gained 7, lol. The things we do for beauty. =) Hope everyone else is well. Have a great day!

Today is the day that I have lost 50 lbs since I started this Journey on 1/1/10. My banding was done on 2/21/10 and I have lost 20 lbs since then. I have another 50 lbs to go, i think. Not sure what I will look like at 150 or 125 for that matter, 125 is my current goal, I may stop before that, we will see. Hope everyone is doing fantastic!

So I now know what people were talking about when they said "sliming" and can I say... YUCK! I tried 2 small bites of rice and then the pain started. Next was when the fun started, sliming and throwing up. For me 2 small bites of rice equals 20+ minutes of unpleasantness. I will not touch rice again that is for sure!

Just an update on my progress. Surgery-2/21/10 First Fill-3/27/10 4.5cc's Second Fill-4/10/10 2cc's Before Surgery lost 20 lbs Lost 12 from 2/21/10 to 3/27/10. Lost 7 from 3/27/10 to 4/07/10 and then gained 3 from 4/07/10 to 4/10/10-not doing anything different... Got a fill and lost 3 since 4/10/10...so I am back at 20 since surgery. Doctor says I am not doing anything wrong, will not give another fill until 6/5/10 =( and I don't think I have any restricition yet...anyway just trying to stay motivated and not freak out unnecessarily. Thanks for listening/reading.

So I was given my first fill of 4.5 cc's on March 27th and I feel no restriction. Is there something wrong or is this normal to get what I thought was a good fill and not have any restriction yet? Is this a sign of a leak?

I use the EAS protein drinks, love the chocolate and the strawberry. I cannot drink the vanilla, it gives me heartburn...

So I had my first fill on Saturday. He put 4.5 in....first he put 5 but the water kept getting stuck. Is 4.5 a normal fill? I was on liquids Sat and Sun and I am on mushies today and tomorrow. Anyway, just wanted to make sure on the fill amount.
