  1. That is what happened to me. It has taken me until my 3rd fill to get good restriction. I hope it stays as I was just filled on Wednesday. Keep up the hard work.
  2. That is awesome. I am training for a 5K with couch to 5K so am nowhere near you but can only aspire. Great job!
  3. You are doing awesome. What an encouragement to all of us.
  4. Count me in. Do I need to send a current weight?
  5. Yea Windus! Keep up the good work!
  6. Amen. I am almost 3 months out and feel amazing. Weight loss is slow but body change is amazing.
  7. Congrats new me. That is amazing. I can't wait until that time. I have been exercising more and thought the weight would come off a little quicker but it seems like a pound a week is what I am destined for. I guess that is better than gaining a pound a week. Positive attitude. My clothes are looser and my summer clothes are too big. All will be well. Alicia
  8. Got my second fill last week. Scale slowly moving again. Need to exercise more but still happy!
  9. I was banded on April 6th. I have lost about 34 pounds. Got my second fill today. I am excited for things to come. alicia

    I was banded on 4/6 by Dr. Anderson in Boise. I love him. His office is supportive and I love their support group once a month. keep in touch Boise Banders!
  11. Awesome work! Keep it up! I am falling back into the trap of stress eating. I need to find something else to do. EEK!
  12. Happy Memorial Day Weekend for everyone! Still no restriction. I go up a pound, down a pound. Very annoying. I go on June 9th for my next fill. Hopefully, it helps a bit more. Has anyone gone to OA for help with the head hunger? Someone recommended it and I am a little nervous. Thanks, Alicia Banded 4-6-10
  13. Ravyn- Don't get discouraged. It is going slower than I thought. also. I need to keep telling myself that soon it will happen. Positive self-talk is important. We can do it! I know we can!
  14. broth, sugar free jello, yogurt, applesauce and cream of wheat were my staples when I was on liquids. I did eat some really thin tomato soup and V8 juice occasionally.
  15. So it has been 3 days since my first fill. I am not hungry, just anxious to know what happens next. Afraid to eat for fear of getting stuck. I don't like chewing a ton because I forget and gulp. How have things been after your fills for the first days of April bunch? I was April 7th and want to know what to expect.
  16. I got my first fill today. It was really easy. I got 3 ccs and he said it was in addition to the 3 ccs from the surgery. I hope this helps. I could eat a lot and was hungry often. I go back in 3 weeks for another fill if necessary. Keep up the exercise is my motto!
  17. I hopefully get my first fill tomorrow. I am kind of nervous as I have been able to eat anything and have not really had to chew small. I am nervous about the drinking too. Ready to start the quest for the sweet spot.
  18. I know! where is everyone? let us know if you are on another thread.
  19. hpygirl- sorry to hear about your trouble. Keep up the good spirits. This will pass and all will be well.
  20. That is awesome. Keep it up and keep motivating those here on the boards.
  21. djbabe- way to go on your fill. I can't wait for mine in two weeks. It will be amazing. Can't wait to see everyone on the post side.
  22. I have 2 weeks until my first fill and I am starving. I hope when my first fill happens, it will be better. Keep up the good work everyone.
  23. Either way on the pre or post Questions work for me!
