I'm thinking it went north of Telly and I both....but gray and rainy here!!!!

Oh here is Orange City (outside Orlando) in case you don't know!

well alberto was boring. lol

Haha, I'm one step ahead of Alberto. I was in the gym working it up. The weather sucks here. Oh and my personal trainer said that biking was good for cardio and all but it does my whole body no justice. He said that biking tends to only workout my lowerbody and I should spend every cardio workout session, doing it all. Recommended the Elliptical or treadmill with my arms swinging. So no more bike rides, at least till the sun comes back out, like tomorrow

You are kicking ass girl! You lost alot of weight. You are ahead of the game.

I live in the Melbourne/Cocoa Beach area...just had my first fill because I wasn't losing any more weight...wish me luck.

ok....I had the 2nd fill yesterday....had to drive 103 mi each way....made it back about 50miles then vomitted all over my shirt after one sip of water!!! UGH!!! Anyway, went back after calling them and they took out 0.1 cc.....I had been filled the first time w/ 2.4 they took out 1.8 then they filled me 3cc!! I drank 6cups of water!!! Then they removed the 0.1cc and am still struggling w/ ANYTHING beyond hot broth!! I chewed up my Vitamin and it came back!! Anyway, I am resting w/ hot broths and hoping this settles down!!!!

So how are you all doing!?!?!

Oh gosh Mel,

This just freaks me out. I can't even imagine feeling like that and trying to live with it. I'm really thinking about getting a fill but it's just a scary place for me. I hope you are ok and will continue to be ok. Wish I could hug you.

Where are you again in Florida? Would love to meet up with you guys. I'll drive :girl_hug:

Lisa--

I was filled the first time May 8th....he is aggressive so he filled me 2.4cc. Then yesterday they only removed 1.8cc (quite common to lose the first 2 fills they said) and put in 3cc....couldn't handle it and was 0.1cc was removed after going back. This helped...but oh today don't even want to LOOK at food honestly!!

Telly--

Thank you so much!! I am over in Orange City....(near Deland, Deltona, Debary, Sanford area).

I will be fine I'm sure...now I just need to let the swelling go down!! I am in NO RUSH to eat again....the first fill I snuck some mushies in after a day....not this time!! I was truly surprised that chewables did that!!!

I don't hurt now....a little snore I guess!?!? I just kept prayingthat I wouldn't slip my band!!! I just hadn't lost in 2 wks....stayed the same....so wanted the extra boost!! Boy did I get it...2lbs in 1 day!! HA!!!

Thanks for caring!!

God Bless,
