Shrinking Violets -- April 07 Bandsters

[Margi 0]

Hi all, I had my first fill about 2 weeks ago. I am feeling at this time like I am getting hungrier. They told me at the B. Center to get the next fill whenever I think I want one. I am still losing weight, and staying on my food plan, but..like I said getting quite hungry!! What do you all think? thanks for your input.

<p>Margi-It sounds like you probably do need another fill. I had my first one 2 weeks ago and I am still getting decent restriction. Hope it all works out for you!!</p> TracyKS-Pork steaks....yummmmmmy!!!! It went down OK?

Hi all

everyone seems to be doing so well...

I am still jobless...

If anyone from the beginning remembers.... I love to drink... It has been 8 weeks and not even a sip. Well, I am going to take the bartending certification course next week so I can bartend for the summer... Isn't that ironic?

So I've been reading away...very interesting... so Monday I am going to go out and apply for bartending jobs....while i look for a real job, that way I can have the freedom to float in my pool and interview for a real job.

Fantastic pictures -- I can definitely see a difference!

Yay Laura -- 'twas meant to be! I've heard that the Wynn is gorgeous! You never know... maybe we Violets will surprise you there!

TracyK.. YOU ARE GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can see a big difference!

Yes the pork steak went down ok... it was super duper tender in the crock pot with ranch dressing cooked all over it (was going to bake it, but I opted for the crock when I was home at lunch)

I was full pretty quick but hungry a couple hours later so I had a few strawberries and vanilla icecream.. (just a little was enough to tide my sweet tooth)

Hi Violets,

I know I don't post as much as y'all do, but I read everyday. You sure are a chatty bunch! Laura congrats on the lucky day!

I am bouncing around here I had my second fill another 1.5 cc for a grand total of 4.5 cc's I have lost 29 lbs. This is my situation, I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this: I stopped losing weight at about four weeks out from surgery. I had first fill 3 weeks ago the week after fill I had alot of nausea and I lost nothing I think I went into starvation mode but after a week everything settled down I loosened up a bit and started losing (7 lbs in a week) then I had second fill because even though I was losing I could still eat alot. Now for the last week I have not lost and I have PBed twice, I don't think I am too tight I think I just ate too fast. Hopefully I will start losing again this week. Has anyone else had this experience?

Thanks for any advice.

Hi Lucygirl,

My dr didnt numb me either, it hurted alot. I had to ease into car and ride with the seat reclined. Luckily my aunt drove me there. I went to work afterwards and had to go home early to lay down.

Wow...quick post. I left home at 6:45am and returned at 8:45pm, after taking over 200 8th graders to Knotts berry Farm...I am so tired. So, while I was there, eating candy and popcorn shit (literally, mouth full of salt Water candy), the doctors office called and moved my fill up to tomorrow...I said, "good, I am eating candy as we speak." So...there it is.

Laura~ I will be in vegas on 7-8-07, celebrating my 40th birthday (7-9)!

Post more tomorrow!

Oh yeah, Tracy...you look great. I can see a difference in your face!!!!

Good morning everyone.

Up and about, today is going to be a great day... I can tell. I get up every morning and check my email. I get job postings sent to me, and there was a great one out there so I am going to apply when I get home from the gym. I need another cup of coffee and a clear head to do my cover letters. I have actually gained a lb but. I have lost more inches for a total of 28.5, plus I've been working out hard to try to tone up all this flab.

So what a better way to start the day?

I got my Fiber sure yesterday afternoon so i'm going to try that today

<p><p>Thanks ladies...I can tell a difference in my face and in my clothes finally!! Great feeling, isn't it? Now if I can just get off my lazy a** and exercise! My excuse so far is a full time job and a 4 year old daughter. But that excuse doesn't really work because her day care has a gym for parents in it <img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/wink.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Wink" smilieid="5" class="inlineimg" /></p> <p>Everyone have a great day!!! I will check in later...</p> <p>(like Jerry Springer says-"until then take care of yourselves, and each other")<img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/happy.gif" border="0" alt="" title="" smilieid="60" class="inlineimg" /></p></p> <p>Jen-Thanks for the reminder of fiber sure. I need to get some because, well, I am full of it!! LOL</p>

Good vibes going out for your job search today, Jenn!

Pam! -- My b'day is 7/8!

A busy day planned for today... I'm feeling good but hungry... last night after literally sucking on a couple McD's fries, then spitting them into the trash (the salt was so good... I think I'm missing salty/sour tastes as all the pro shakes are sweet) I decided not to be stupid but smart (there's an idea!) so I made what my kids called "Egg Moosh"... 1 hb egg + 1 T lt mayo + 1 T yellow mustard in the cuisinart 'til, well, mooshy. It made about 1/2 c and I took 1/2 hr to eat it... who knew that'd be "gourmet"??

Have a great day, everyone!
