I loved it. :Dancing_biggrin:Today (Friday) makes it my third day. My goal is to work out at least twice a day 5 days a week. Well....Tuesday, Wednesday I work out 4 times in one day. Booth Camp 5 a.m. to 6 a.m., 15 minute walk on my morning break, 15 minute walk on my evening break, and 30 minute cardio workout at home (Turbo Jam dvd). I guess you can say the two 15 minute walks is one workout. But I like counting them as two. Makes me feel like I'm on fire!:target: I have been doing good...I'm proud of myself. I was a little sore yesterday and today. I'm not going to do my evening walk, and I'm not going to workout this evening. But I will do a workout Saturday. Maybe my turbo jam dvd.

So have you had a talk with your coworker's yet?

I am doing good:-) Just cant wait til my surgery date. I guess I will find next week.

Well I had to do a 6 month dietican supervised diet first for insurance purposes, I lost 25 pounds in those six months. The rest of the weight has come off since my 2 week pre op diet. For the most part 50 pounds of it has come off since June 22nd.

I cant wait for the fill. I try to eat mostly protein to keep me full longer, however it gets kind of boring. I really cant wait to have bread. I have 2 weeks for that.

I am not doing to bad with the weight loss, I am about 11-12 down since 1st week post op. I totally understand the impatient part. Its like I know what to do I just dont always do it.

Very slooooowly. lol. I've lost 50.5 pounds to date, but the last 10 or 12 have been slow. I've stalled quite a bit. But, people are starting to notice. Maybe it's cuz I bought clothes that fit. Haha. How about you?

Hey Nooshie!

I am doing great! I have lost 25 pounds in 9 weeks since when I started my Two week Pre-op diet. That is an average of 2.7 per week, so I am right on track. I had a fill, but to tell you the truth, I probably could stand having a little more in there. I still feel like I can eat a good amount. ALTHOUGH, my hunger has practically disappeared. I don't have to snack, I just eat when I am hungry, I get full and I stop. It is soooo nice. I walk every day and I will start my intense workout soon, so it should get a lot better!

Your's is coming soon!

Hey I'm doing great!!!! Down 25 pounds and back to work. I'm also going to Vegas in a few weeks for my birthday Next week soft foods. It not as bad as i thought it would be You?

Hey! Ive lost about 20 pounds as well too. Im on clear liquids until tomorrow then I can start my full liquid diet. I cant start mushies until my 5th week.. gosh that seems so far! Im not in any classes or anything, Im just a stay at home mommy! I have 3 boys..2 are mine and 1 I love like mine! Do you have a myspace! Itd be easier to talk there if so! I dont check this everyday! Im glad I found someone to talk to about our concerns and what not..makes things a little less stressful to know we are going through the same thing!

Thanks for the pic comment. I started off excercising a lot but I have gotten lazy recently. I plan to start again this week.

Well, as far as pain goes it went great! However, I honestly do not think that I have enough restriction. I still am eating too much. I need more restriction. I think that I might call in to see if I can get another fill or something. I get hungry in 2 to 3 hours after I eat. I will see how things go from this point. But, overall things are good. Are you lossing even more weight now that you have had your first fill?

Hi! You are totally on track! I lost 19 pounds during my pre-op diet (it was two weeks and five days of only slim fast shakes and two cups of veggies). I've lost about 8 pounds since surgery, waiting until tomorrow to update my ticker. I started the mushy phase yesterday....have you started that yet? I'm expecting my weight loss to slow down with that.

I know wat u mean about going back to the beginning again to get this band working for me better. I started on liquids again ..been on them for 3 days...dont have much energy but I am drinking protein shakes. So how are u doing?

HI, I saw that you were banded by Dr Pompa in Mexico and wondered if you had any issues or if it has been a good experience. My insurance has denied my surgery because they want 5 years of a BMI of 40+ and I only have 3 yrs but I certainly dont want to wait 2 more years before I get started so I have decided to self pay and will be going to Mexico to Dr Ortiz or Dr Pompa, but wanted to hear from others that were banded by them to see if there were any problems- with the banding, complications later, problems finding a dr in the states for aftercare and fillings, etc. Thank you so much for your help!

Next time you are in there, send me an email. I'll jump in for sure. Right now I'm catching up on emails....I slept a good part of the day. Felt great. Checkout my signature in my posts where it says seem my MOVIE PROGRESSION. Click on it. You can see me going down in the photos.

I'm going back to some organizing for the week and finishing emails. Remember...email me when you all are in chat and if I can I will jump in. I love chatrooms. handjive1228@yahoo.com

I started work this week so ho hum excuse there. I hang out in Dr. K's thread most all of the time BUT ended up in the hospital with chest pains a few weeks ago. Heart is perfect. I have non-active gallstones. Don't know what the chest pains were. Oh well.

My last fill was the star. I'm really sliding down the scale, feeling full these days.

You?
