WOW!! This holiday season is going to be so different than any other one in my whole life!!! Usually, I gain at least 10-15 pounds from Thanksgiving to New Years Eve. This will be the first time that I will be at my goal weight, will not be interested in stuffing myself multiple times, than doing it again later and the next few days!! I am going to use my "extra amo" this year. I will take my QuickSlim30 every day and use my weight loss patch on the holiday or party days. :clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2:

She may try ObesityHelp.com They have support groups and info there!

Awesome!!!

She is finally home and doing well. I don't know why she had such a bad experience, but neither of us have any reason to lie about it. I was the one she was calling crying on the phone. She wasn't making it up. Sorry if anyone thinks it is untrue, but I have been here a long time and people know how I am. I have no hidden motives to bash a doctor. Thanks Sunshine!! She is recovering.

I am not sure if you are talking to me, but I will answer! I did not feel restriction until my 3rd fill to 3 cc's so it took, let's see what was it?? Like, 6 months or so? But, I took QuickSlim30 during that time and it helped curb my appetite. I didn't get to exercise today because my kids didn't have school and I had to go to my grandmas to help her move furniture. Somewhat of a workout, but I plan on doing one tomorrow! I didn't eat too much today. I had my hot tea with soy milk in the morning, chicken ( 1 small piece, a little bit of cesaer salad, and a little artichoke dip with chips-I went out to eat with my grandmother and we shared a plate. Dinner-some green Beans How are you all doing today?? I am also maintaining my weight loss!!!

Thanks!!!! I am feeling really good!!

CONGRATS!!!!! You are on a roll now!!!! The weight is gonna start flying off!!!! :clap2::clap2::clap2:

You guys are all so awesome!!! BMan: you look amazing!!!!! Congrats You are all doing so well! I will come by and say hi to you guys once in a while, if that's okay! You can find me on the Lower Bmi thread if you want to holla!!!

Looks like we have some people interested in the accountability, so LETS DO IT!!! Let's start on Monday, okay??? Even if you don't eat well, sometimes writing it down helps to change bad habits. So, who is with us?

:clap2: You guys are so encouraging! You know the funny thing? Until I took that picture, I didn't even know my stomach looked like that. I don't really wear revealing things and never show mid riff, but did for the picture. I really had no idea! I had a tummy tuck and lip 3 years ago, then proceeded to gain 30 pounds right after. You stay swollen for about 6 months so I never got the chance to see the effects of that surgery till now!

What is SS?

The sweet spot is the place where you can eat 1/3 of what you used to eat, be satisfied and feel full. Your "head" may tell you different (head hunger), but you need to listen to your body or you will slime/pb/get stuck. It can take 3-6 fills or more sometimes. Some people get over filled, than need an unfill and start all over, so it is not good to push it. It is best to just come to terms that it takes a while to get there.

I am considering taking up bicycling. Can you share with me any tips, benefits and if it helped tone up certain areas? Thanks

Thanks guys!!! We can do this together!!! Would anyone like to step it up and have a weigh in day, posting our workouts and how we are eating (sticking to the bandster rules).

No problem!!! I am pretty much an open book. Feel free to ask anything you'd like! It is called the great commission. Jesus said that we were to go into all the world and proclaim the gospel. Witnessing means that your spread the gospel. I started with my family first. Not in a pushy way though. I pray and ask God for God appointments. Than I ask the Holy Spirit to tell me what to say! I can find more info on it and send it to you if you like,like the exact scriptures and stuff? As a Christian, we need to have a burden for peoples souls. God bless!

The same thing happened to me!!! I dropped inches before I dropped in weight. I added the 24 hour weight loss patch and that pushed me past. Do you want me to send you a free sample? Audree

Thank you so much for your response. She is a lower bmi. I checked the PM. Please let me know if I can give her your info. Thanks!

Thanks guys!!!! You are all awesome!!!

It is herbal, so yes it is okay!

I need some quick info! I have a friend who was just banded at this place and it sounds like she was being tortured alive!!! First of all, she said they filled her band up with Fluid?????? When she complained of the pain, they blamed her own low dose meds???? They then proceeded to unfill her, bending 4 needles into her stomach??? What the **** is going on!!!!!! I told her I have never, ever heard of a patient being sent home with a fill. They also didn't want her to stay overnight another night in the hosptial and wanted to send her back to her hotel room??? They wouldn't give her an IV and didn't kill the pain!!! Who are these people? I have never heard of such a thing?? What do you guys think and what should she do? I told her she needs to get an unfill and NOT leave until she gets one! She has major pain in her chest. I told her that is what feeling stuck is like. Any advice and feedback is appreciated!! Audree

I am pretty much done! I am going to stick to the 145ish range so my body's set point can adjust to this new weight. I had learned that our body always wants to go to the weight is held the longest. That is what plateaus are sometimes. But, if you can hold within 5 pounds for 3-6 months, you re set the setpoint!!! I just need to start exercising. I think that my results are a combo of a couple things. I had a tummy tuck and lipo 3 years ago then quickly gained 30 pounds. Swelling doesn't go down for about 6 months so I never got to see the real results, until now! I also take a supplement called QuickSlim30 that helps your skin tone and muscle. It has special herbs in it that aid with weight loss and the weight loss process.

Thanks guys!! You are so encouraging!!!! No, I need a push to get my butt in gear to start exercising!!! Help

That is awesome!!! I had a tummy tuck 3 years ago and lip. Then I gained 30 pounds!!!:faint::faint:Big no, no. You are not supposed to do that. So, I am barely really seeing the results of that surgery 3 years ago because I had covered it all up with fat. Try to lose as much as you can before the surgery so they can take off as much lose skin as possible. Congrats!!

I weighed in today at 147!!! I have lost a ton in inches. I noticed when I added the 24 hour QuickSlim30 weight loss patch, things started really moving. First the inches fell off and then the pounds followed. I will never regret my band, but I never did reach a "sweet spot". I was either too loose and could eat anything or too tight and sliming, getting stuck and pbing. Then I guess my metabolism dropped so eating less was getting me no where. My band will always be there to aid me in keeping it off, but I know the QuickSlim30 is what helped me lose the weight. I could never tolerate a tighter fill than I have. I slime on almost everything and get stuck almost everyday. Thank you Jesus!!!!! :clap2:
