So I went for my monthly today and I'm very happy because I have lost 5 more pounds. I have four more pounds to get to my goal of 150. I am very happy; however, I had to get a cc of solution taken out because my stoma was slightly sitting on my band. So now I'm gonna have to work twice as hard to maintain my current weight with some hope of trying to lose at least a pound or two. Ugh!!!!

Have you reached goal??

Yes, I have. It's on my ticker

Eeeeee, I'm not too fàmiar with other parts of this forum yet, but I'm glad to hear that!

Oh ok. Good luck on your journey

Thanks! And CONGRATZ on reaching goal!

Thank you. As of this morning I passed it by a pound. I'm not even trying to lose it's just that the band is doing its thing and I'm not exercising like I used too. It's a great feeling.

Hey. How did they know the stoma was slightly sitting on the band?

Because we did a barium xray to see how I was looking on the inside because I had the problem before in my journey by eating to fast and taking big bites. I don't do that anymore. I have learned my lesson.

Congrats! What an accomplishment. My next goal is to be at my ideal weight by my 2-year anniversary (April 2014).

I agree that the exercise helps. I am now officially addicted to ZUMBA....
