Judy, I also added you!

I know I shouldn't be concerned with the number on the scales but like everyone I want to see a difference in it.. I am weighloss_dreamer on MFP if anyone wants to take a look at my meals.

Ok I am needing to kick this weight loss in gear..... 7 weeks outs and only 21 pounds down this to include my liquid diet. Wanting to be a total of 50 pounds down by june.....any pointers into how to kick it in high gear. I am working out 35-45 min on eliptical 3 days a week with taebo 1 day a week and doing 30 min of wii on the other days... please help....

I would vary your workouts- don't spend it all on one machine. Also, how many calories are you getting?

I just started back at the gym and am doing one cardio type class and one Yoga class each time I go- approx 2 hours there. I am only doing yoga for flexibility/back soreness, so one hour is dedicated to my weight loss. I would consider pushing up to an hour per workout 4-5 days a week. I am also eating between 1000-1200 calories a day. I have steadily been losing about 1 pound a day, unless I eat too late at night then the loss does not show.

I just viewed my meal report for the past week and noticed that my sodium was WAY up there. Guess I need to try and get that down. It could be making me retain water.

Great job!!!!! Those are amazing numbers! Congrats n good look with ur fill!!!

Thank you so much. I had my fill on 4/4 which was great and still can't eat much but the srugeon wasn't happy that I am not eating 1200 calories. I have started tracking my intake and can at times barely get 500 calories in

Just joined myfitnesspal... could some one invite me.. it looks easy to use.. lol wildolphins811.

Hey Larch thank you so much for the helpful tips. I wrote them down in my food journal. I have my 1st fill on 4-20 kinda nervous considering my incision has gotten infected so bad that my dr had to call in a antibiotic for me to take for 10 days. So im hoping that I have healed by then....

I'm sorry about the infection but you will get better soon. The fill really was pretty easy. Keep us posted.

I noticed the same thing myself. I have been working on that. I'm able to keep my numbers regular but...I need to come down calorie wise a bit. It's funny how I am paying attention whereas before who knows how many calories I was downing.

Add me on mfp CurlyQ1095

I haven't been on here for awhile and just read the last 20 pages that I have missed. Phew!

I also notice the left shoulder pain when I am getting full. Kinda neat as a cue to stop eating but mostly really annoying! My first fill will be on 4/27. I have some restriction. I can eat soft foods and have tried a few items today that would be considered solid. So far so good.

I am also on MFP. Feel free to add me: iluvyogi

So, do i have to write to everyone sending and invite as well? can someone help me here please?? judych

Hello everyone! I haven't been on for a while so have been trying to catch up on everyone! How long are everyones incisions taking to heal? Four of mine are pretty healed, still a little black and blue but the incision on my waistband is still very tender probably from just from my pants rubbing on it. I have to put bandaids over it to be able to wear my pants. I had surgery on March 22....seems like the skin discoloration and the scabs would be off by now??

hi Ladybug.. ive still got some scabs.. most of them are off though. Ive still got bruising around the port site,and im very itchy around all wound areas of a night. i have problems with my waist band as well, even though its elastic. i dont have any incisions right on the waist but close to that area. my pants must all get tighter as the day goes on. i have two larger incisions. on the left side its the port, with lots of bruising around it, on the right side the incision is a bit bigger.. then smaller ones spread out in between the two.
