You are looking fantastic!

It was around day 4 that I was at the point that you are at now. I was wondering what in the world had I done to myself. It gets better. I wouldn't change getting the Lap-band done for the world. I'm so glad that I did it now.

I had mine 3 weeks after surgery.

Thanks. You will get there. I got very discouraged a few weeks ago. I actually gained 5 pounds over 2 days, and I was horrified. I couldn't figure out what I had done that was different to cause me to gain weight. I still don't know what I did to cause the weight gain. I just know that I didn't want to do a "diet". I was also wondering if I would ever get to my goal. There are days that I still do wonder that.

I live in the DFW area, and I'm a stay at home mom to 4 kids. Who gets to go back to college next year when kid number 3 starts pre-k.

I'm not looking forward to doing that. I hope you are better today.

I take Fiorcet. Amazingly though, I haven't had one single migraine since surgery. I was having 2 - 4 a month before surgery.

I had my second fill today. He put in .75 cc to give me 4.25 cc in my band. I have lost 17.5 pounds since August 23. I was so happy with that. That puts me down a total of 45 pounds since June 30. I have forgotten how yucky the liquid diet is. Tomorrow is pureed foods, and Saturday is mushies. I can't wait till Sunday when I can eat actual food.

I'm 5'8", and I was told it needed to be over 80.

I swear it is like my body has finally said fine. I've lost 12 pounds in the last 2 weeks. I was so excited. I can actually see a difference, and I felt my hip bone this morning when I was laying down. It didn't have a lot of fat around it. Not only that, I was actually able to wrap a beach towel around me, and it overlapped. Amazing what makes us happy.

I zumba 3 to 5 days a week, and I do toning also 3 days a week.

Does running around after a 2 and 3 year old count?

I got 3.5 ccs with my first fill. They put in there as much as your band will let them. They do it under fluro every time. They did say that each time you go back in for more, that you usually only get half of what you had the previous time. On Thursday, I'm expecting to get somewhere between 1 - 1.5 ccs.

Congratulations to you!!!!!

I finally feel like I've made it over the hump. The hump where my body was wanting to know what in the world I had done to it, so it was holding onto every calorie that I ate.

Good Luck. I go Thursday for my 2nd fill. I'm looking forward to it.

I put the whole family on a diet. They get what I cook, or they can cook something themselves. I can always take some sliced sandwich meat and cheese and make myself a meal. I also make a LOT of weight watchers recipes. I'm mean that way. :biggrin:

Here is a YEA! from me to you! CONGRATULATIONS!

Was that your first or second fill? :smile2:

I had to have that done also a week after surgery, but mine was less than 1 cc. It made a huge difference. Glad you are feeling better.

:thumbup:I just put on a pair of size 24 shorts, and they were to BIG!!!!! I can't believe it. I wasn't able to wear those shorts a few weeks ago because they were too small. I guess it is time to clean out the closet of all of the 28's, 30's, and 32's in it. :smile2:

I got the dvds for $72.80 including shipping and taxes. I paid around $34 up front, and then have two more monthly installments of $19.95. I've got 4 kids with 2 of them being in school, and they both have after school activities. There are days that I just don't have the time to get to the gym, and I figured this was a good way to get my exercise in.

I had my first fill on Aug 23. I'm not really all that hungry. I can only eat 1/2 - 3/4 cup of food now, so I don't know how it will be once I get my second fill. It actually worries me. If I didn't force myself to have something before 1130, I probably would skip Breakfast all together. Today, I had a shake around 830, and I got busy. Looked up, and it was 2 PM. I hadn't had lunch or a snack, and I wasn't even hungry. I don't start to get "hungry" until around 3 or 4 in the afternoon. Don't know how much of that is head hunger or body hunger.

I only have a 10 cc band too, and I had 160 pounds to lose. I've already gotten 3.5 cc in it. I go next Thursday to get another fill.

The DVDs actually have 1 whole dvd devoted to teaching you the steps. I did this the first couple of times, and i was good to go.
