Lower BMI Bandsters!
I am so happy to meet you!!! I went for my 2nd fill today and have 2.4 cc's now. I had 1.2 cc's. I was able to eat, but very little. I had a piece of toast after the fill and took it good. Dr. Romero had me eat some carne asada before at a local place before I went home. I had a small cup of beans for dinner and was FULL. They do all of there fills under fluero. I had 1.2 cc's and he pulled out a full 1.2 cc's so I kept the whole amount that was put in. Thanks for encouraging me!:biggrin1: Please let me know how it goes with you. I love to have buddies to lose weight with and keep me going, accountable, etc. Keep in touch!!! babygotback

Lower BMI Bandsters!
Hey guys!!! Just checkin in!!! I weigh in tomorrow but I have stopped losing. I am going for my 2nd fill next Wednesday with Dr. Ortiz. I also ran out of quickslim30 and it made a huge difference. I need to get some more. I eat as much as my husband and he is 6 feet tall and 200 pounds. But, I eat less than I used to pre band. I also have been working out. If I lose this week, I may hold off getting the 2nd fill since I do like being able to eat what ever I want and I have never pb'd or slimed. How are you all doing???

January Bandsters???
I am right there with you. I have lost about 4 pounds or so I think since my last fill 5 weeks ago. I do eat less than I did pre band, but it is still too much. I can also eat anything and can eat as much as my husband!!!! He is 6 feet tall and weighs 200 pounds so I shouldn't be eating the same servings as he is!!!:faint: :faint: :faint: I can eat as much as I want with out any pain or discomfort, have never pb;d or slimed. I am going for a 2nd fill next Wednesday. I also have started exercising too. It seems really slow on the boards lately. I haven't been on like I was just due to my step daughters wedding and trying to get my house back in order and my life back. Planning a wedding just took so much out of me. I have been trying to get better organized and better with my time management and that means not too much time on the computer. But, I still want to check in once a day at least!!! How are you all doing??? I can finally type again!!! Got those darn acrylic nails off finally!!!

South Beach Diet Bandsters???
I actually need to restart. I went off and didn't get back on. I eat mostly South Beach but have had croutons in my salad and some small quantities of rice. I gained 2 pounds and I am pretty sure it is water, but if I don't show is off tomorrow, I am restarting for sure!!! Now who is with me???

Lower BMI Bandsters!
They are gel caps and go down well. They really help me and they aid in weight loss, rev up metabolism, etc. My pants are really starting to hang on me now, the ones that used to be tight. I am getting down to having only a few pairs of workout pants and I am giving all my clothes away. I showed a 2 pound gain but I am sure it is Water retention since I have only been eating salads for dinner with tomato, red onion, swiss cheese, croutons and balsamic vinegrette dressing. I have coffee with soy milk every day for Breakfast and the only meal that varies is lunch and I don't eat much. I have been drinking my water, taking my supplements which are quickslim30, Biotin, and liquid Vitamins. I am working out 3-4 times a week for one hour and hope to increase it next week. My goal is to lose 20 more pounds in 2 1/2 months which is summer!!!

We are all different. I personally can eat anything I want but choose to make healthier choices. I have been eating more salads lately too. I paid $8500 and had one of the top doctors in the world do my surgury in Mexico. It was very easy to make arrangents. Dr. Ortiz is affiliated with FillCentersUSA.com so you can see a fill doctor near you. I had an awesome experience!!!

Hi!!! I will post a pic soon as soon as I download pics from the wedding. I think taking the QuickSlim30 helps. I just barely started with the regular exercise last week. I had fluctuated from the 190's to 240's. I'd lose gain then lose and gain over and over and over...... I could never maintain. I am soooo happy!!!!!!!!

January Bandsters???
Hey!!! Yeah, I haven't been on trying to catch up with things. I looks like a lot of people have been busy too! I do eat less and just have a coffee with soymilk for breakfast. I can eat, but not much in the mornings. Before and durning my period I was tighter. I eat about 1 to 1 1/2 cups of food at a time.

January Bandsters???
Thanks!!! I miss you guys too! I have not been able to get on as much lately. I had so much housework and stuff to catch up on since I was so distracted with the wedding. My life is finally settling down. I am getting a routine going!!! How are you doing?

January Bandsters???
Hey Bandida!!!! I do feel good where I am. I definitely eat less. I have no discomfort but just feel really full after I eat a coffee cup plate worth. I think I have been pushing it slightly and I think that I have been overeating sometimes. I do this when I am overly hungry. The only thing I notice is that I can't take a deep breath, have pressure and just feel too full. I think I need to just start serving myself 1 cup portions and eat it slow. I did that today and it was enough to make me feel full. I started going to the gym again!!!!!!!!!!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: I have gone to the gym 3 times and did the treadmill for 1 hour. I am really loving it!!! I weigh in tomorrow. I think if I stop losing I may ask for a slight fill, but then I have never pb'd or slimed and don't want to. Maybe I shouldn't push things. I have a ride to go next week. Maybe I should leave things alone. :faint:

Congrats!! I also had mine done in TJ and had a great experience!!! I took a bath after the skin was 100% healed so like 3 weeks or so. We are all different though.

January Bandsters???
Hi Bandida!! I am at 1.2 cc's and am doing good and losing. I was considering a 2nd fill since I feel like I can eat anything. You are only .3 more than me and it seems like you are so much tighter than me. Do you think I should stay where I am?
