Oh yay! Glad you got your fill. I get my first one Tuesday. I feel like I'm not really losing as fast as other people do their first month, but it's still more than I've ever lost in a single month in my life.

Yep, you looked amazing in the video.

Yes, I"m flying in tomorrow, then back out tomorrow night. Whirlwind trip, I know. I'm really excited. I hope my weight loss will speed up a bit with a fill . . .although I'm pretty happy with it so far.

Anybody else having trouble when trying to write a message? Have to log in every time instead of just hitting reply? Plus what is with all these ads placed in between posts??Sheesh...

Wish I could have seen bbq pix to put faces with names. Glad everyone had a good time.

Too bad we didn't start challenge last week as I bought a new scale, tried it out, looked at the number, and got depressed again. But then when I weighed this morning for challenge, I was down 5.1 pounds! Oh, well.....doesn't matter when it goes, just so it goes.

Off this morning for Ashland and Shakespeare, so I won't post again until Friday evening. It will probably take me most of the night to read the week's entries since y'all are a talkative group! Bye, guys, have a good week.

Deb, Have a great trip, can't wait to hear all about it.:smile:

Okay, I have a question for all of you (well, not the newbies). I am getting my first fill tomorrow, and am hoping that my rate of loss will start to increase a bit.

So, for those of you who keep track of such things (and I know you do!) did your weight loss speed up after your first fill? Or was your biggest loss in the first month after surgery? I am worried that I will be stuck at 1 lb a week. I lost 8 lbs in 2 weeks while doing liquids/full liquids, then less than 1 lb in the third week and 1.5 lbs in the 4th. I know 1 lb a week is considered perfectly acceptable weight loss, but I really would like to lose closer to 2. I'm going to kick up my exercise now though.

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!:smile::w00t::wub::w00t::w00t:

I am still very excited!!! The interview went VERY well, and they said they will let me know TODAY!!! I think that means I got it!! The school year starts on the 25th so i will still have plenty of time to get my first fill from Dr. K. YAY!!!

BTW, I am having some weird stuff going on. Some days I can eat almost anything in sight, and some days I can barely get in my Protein, let alone my calories. Sometimes I have a scoop of Protein Powder in ice cream so that I can get both in without making my stomach hurt:crying:. I just don't feel like eating, which is a good thing. But I am worried about getting into bad habits with eating bad foods just to get in my calories. Any suggestions?

Woot woot!!! That's fantastic!!! YAY FOR YOU!!!!

I know what you mean about the weird hunger/no hunger thing. Give it a few more weeks and, trust me, you'll be plenty hungry. How many calories are you getting in?
