Who's out there? We don't have too long to wait!!!:clap2:

I went in for my third fill and my doctor wasn't going to give it to me because I told him I was Pbing. I begged him to check how much was actually in there because I had stayed the same over the last three weeks. I was supposed to have 2.6 in there but he could only pull out 2.2 so he refilled it to 2.6. Well some of it must of been hiding in there because this is tight! I can get liquids down but yogurt is to much for now. I have to puree my soup if it has any thing in it like vegetables just to get it down. I have gone back to two shakes a day but even those are hard to get down. i think it will be a long while before I go back in for another fill. i think I will just hang tight (literally) through the Holidays and get a fill in January. This is reminding me of my pre and post op liquid diet but if the scale starts to move then I can live with it. I know my vitamins and protein drinks are crucial for now.

The good news is I went to Nordstroms and tried on 'Not My Daughters Jeans' and bought a size 16. Down two sizes from the start of this and out of the women's sizes . . . Yeah for me!

Count me in Melissa! I cant wait to be able to take those pics. My personal trainer keeps telling me he is going to have me in a bathing suit by spring for some ads he wants to run... I dont know about all that craziness but I will be looking good!

Do you guy realise that next month will be 6th months since we were banded? I can't belive it. Are you were you thought you would be at this 1/2 year mark? Sure makes me want to kick it in gear and see how much more I can get off this month. Food for thought!

I was just thinking about this yesterday and Im so happy that I have done way better than what I thought I would have at just 6 months. I have lost more than what I thought it would take a year to lose. I cant say enough how much I love my band.

Hello all!

I have been extremely busy at work and have not been able to read let alone participate on our blog. I hop everyone is doing great! Sounds like it just skimming over the posts! It is six months isn't it! Wow, I am about half way to goal. I just hope that means I will make goal by next May. I have had three fills and the third one kicked my booty. But, now it seems to be loosening up a bit. I blew it for the last two days. Someone brought a beautiful chocolate cake in and sat it in the break room. I kept controll all day, then just before I went home I caved in and ate a peice. Then my old ways kicked in and I though since I've already blown it, I'll have a milk shake! I suck!!!! Well, I was angry at myself all day yesterday but managed to eat small and healthy. But, when I got home..I caved in again! I wasn't even hungry, it was just eating to eat! Dang! I may need to go back and get another fill or something. Good thing is I am not too down on myself. I am getting back on track today! I ate a really healthy breakfast and will do the same for lunch and dinner.

I will catch up on the emails as soon as poss. Just wanted to say hi and tell you guys good going! Your all amazing and doing great. The nicest bunch of people I have met in along time!

Blessings,

wow, it has flown.

i had some significant weight loss recently, but it was because i'd gotten too tight and was on liquids for amonth! dr is not happy and we arent going to do that again. Still facinating that people can live off of liquids isnt it?

Im eating normal foods now. even more normal than before. i can eat a small amount of toast!

usually i can hold about three quarters of a banana comfortably at a time. I still have 90 lbs to go.

amazing how time flies. im finally ready to drop a jean size, from a 24 to a 22. yay.

I thought I'd be much closer to ONEderland than I am.. but I'm still happy for every ounce that I lose!!

I got some discouraging news today... I may have heel spurs. I've been dealing with an ache in my right foot since August..and have been waiting for it to go away... well, it hasnt..and now I have an appointment with my foot Dr. on the 24th.

Timestamp for later:

ONE ninety nine and change

Congratulations!!! Onederland at last!

Liz- That is fabulous about the jeans! I personally have never been able to eat bananas with my band Since my fill last week I have been afraid to eat much of anything. Sometimes I can eat a small amount of food just fine, other times a bite or two is all I can take so I have a protein shake instead.

Melissa- THAT SUCKS! I have never had them but they sound very painful!

Manatee- Congratts on Onederland. How does it feel really? Do you feel like you won a big contest??? I cant wait to know that feeling! I think I am going to buy myself a new pair of Nike's as a gift to myself when I get there.

:clap2: WAY TO GO :clap2:

I went on a plateau breaker Monday and have lost 5 lbs since then! I had only lost 4 lbs in an entire month and it scared me so I decided to get tough. It is the best decision I have made in awhile. I also am at 200 lbs even this morning..hopefully tomorrow will be onederland!

I have on a size 10 pants today and realized I haven't been that size since 1988 and then it was for a class reunion so I gained it ALL back and then some within a few months.

I just ordered a Body Bugg as I am getting closer to goal and need to be accountable for my exercise.

Everyone is doing great. It is hard to believe it has been almost six months.....I am loving my band!
