I am sooo happy and excited to make my first goal and to reach it in the time I had placed. 30lbs gone!! woooo ! I have been so frustrated because I had been stalled for a bout 3weeks.. and this last 1.5 lbs got me there finally. lol.. **happy dance** I have my 1st fill tomorrow, I don't have any Fluid in my band as of yet so I will be so happy to feel any difference. So far, I haven't been to hungry, and when I eat my meal of a cup to a cup and half I stay satisfied for about 3hrs. Maybe a little less.

I love my fitness pal and it has kept me on track and so have you all. Thank you all so much for your continued support, advise, and kicks in the arse! I appreciate it all. I have not been perfect but boy am I trying.. and like CG said it, you have to believe in yourself.. I sure as hell do!! : :wub:

Love you all!

You look great.

Congratulations !!

omw now to my first Nut's appt... and then at 1pm off to get my first fill... whew.. a nice and eventful day off!

what a great job I know you must feel so powerful you will make your dream its just around the corner

Great job! You look great. It really shows in your pics.

I got 2cc's in my band now.. and I drank the Water fine, as I drink my Protein shake, I do feel a difference. Oh man.. she tried to find the port, well she found it but took awhile to get the needle in place.. ya that hurt, she had me do a crunch and hold.. Ouuuch... she did said that would be the worse of it as the next time it will be so much easier.

Saw the nutritionist today at my primary care office, and well, seems sorta expensive. I have insurance.. but she doesn't qualify for it since she is not a "licensed" Nut, only certified. I like her a lot, very caring.. she wouldn't give me any real info though until I make a decision to buy the package. She suggested I go on the HCG. 350. for the first month and 100.00 a month following up on her visits Is that a normal price? I have never been to a Nut before and not sure if that is a bit pricey or I should keep looking. She has written a book, and has appeared on good morning america and on the cover of people's magazine...her name is Camille Tirzah. Maybe that is why It seems pricey. I didn't know this, just called my primary care for an appt with a Nut. SHe has lost 100lbs herself and seems very sincere. What do you all suggest? That is a bit pricey for me.. but if it is the norm, hopefully I can come up with some plan.

for destynee

Yay! how long did it take you to lose the 30lbs?

You look beautiful

Is that normal to go on hcg after getting the lap band? I've never heard of that being required before. I would get a second opinion. I have been going to a nut and my 1st appt was $90 then $45 after that initial appt.
