Since my last fill in early june things were up and down for me...

I was losing well 2-3 lbs a week but was suffering from nausea , vomiting and very bad acid reflux.

I toughed it out taking 80mg prilosec a day 40 in the am and 40 lat afternoon, it seemed to solve the problem.

my next issue was learning to eat with my band being tight - one bite too many and out it came, too big a bit and too fast.. same thing.

I now have it under control.. ive lost 73lbs since october for an average of 9.1lbs a month.. i am pretty happy with this.

I am now sitting at 209- this is the exact point i got to 6-7 years ago when i did atkins,,i hit 209 and couldnt go any farther, so while i am feeling great, excited about my loss i am getting very nervous that i will stall out here again and not go any further.

my ultimate goal of 150 puts me at still over weight, 140 and i will be considered normal.

But right now i just want to get below 200 - this is my nemesis...i dont think i have been below 200 since i was a teenager.

Congratulations on where you are at so far! You'll beat that 200# mark with ease!! Hang in there!

Way to go, sounds like you are doing great.

How many fills have you had? How much are you exercising?

Keep up the good work! You are doing great. It will come off... You'll get there.

Very soon you will be at "ONEDERLAND"! congrats!
