so, I went for my second fill today...and I've lost 12 more pounds!! I just cant believe it...12 pounds in one month! Ive lost 20% of my excess weight! I knw my rings and clothes are falling off me.....but...woohoo!!

Ok,I'm done with my rant!:faint:

Great job. I hope I will be as successful when I am banded next month.

:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

That's not a rant! That's a celebration. Good for you. Doesn't it feel good? Keep it up.

Congratulations! Here's is to sucess next month as well!

well, I havent been 250 in years...Ive tried...Ive come close..but never made it. It just gives me so much hope that I will do it this time! It makes me feel like I have a whole new life just waiting for me...it does....and it feels great.

did you have any restriction after you were banded? And also, how much restriction did you have after your first fill? Also about how many calories a day are you eating and what kind of exercise. Not trying to be nosy, just curious. You are doing so great!

That is terrific - i am very happy for you. Keep up the good work. I'm going for my next fill on 8/23 and if i get 12lbs off in a month i will be yelling from the rooftops.

Congratulations! That's great.

Honestly...I grill a chicken breast and throw in some broccoli and carrots....kinda steam it all together..and I eat it on a daily basis. If I am craving somthing sweet..I will have a 100 calorie pack or a sugar free popsicle. I do have the occasional Ice cream from DQ..I know I shouldnt say that...but I get a small cone and dont eat the cone, I also love chips and queso. I dont count calories. I exercise daily for about a 1/2 hour ( core secrets is the best for me). I didnt have any restriction after surgery..and even after my first fill I didnt have any. I like to eat off a saucer and with chopsticks...and when its gone its gone. I dunno..it just works for me...I would imagine that if I gave up ice cream and queso...I would be alot thinner.

Oh yeah..I dont eat bread or potatoes. I also drink tons and tons and tons of water.

Great job! Sounds like you have hit your sweet spot, for now. I hope it's the last fill for you! 12 pounds is a wonderful start.
