Hi everyone I know its been a over 3 weeks since I last posted but I have been so busy with my inlaws 50th wedding anniversary

that I have not even had much time for myself.. but here is the good news last time I posted I could not get over that darn 200 mark I was so frustrated for about 3weeks straight I did not even see the scale move at all then one day ta da it did.. today I am now 195 lbs yippee!! I also went on wednesday to get my fill down in TJ and I asked my doctor how many cc's my band held and found out that it holds 9 cc's very interesting everyone I know thier bands hold like 4cc's does anyone elses band hold that much.. I was just wondering why I did not get the other one like everyone else has and of course I forgot to ask duh... I got a really good fill this time and I think thats all I am going to need for quite a while I hope... I am at 6.5 cc's at this time and I eat very small meals now.. before he gave me this last fill I was able to eat much larger portions and was not satisfied that I was not restricted enough but now I know the difference much different...

well anyway thanks everyone for listening I am very happy and working hard at keeping this real for the first time now I am finally really noticing a difference in the way my clothes fit they are getting much looser that is the best feeling.. I know that I can wear a 16 comfortably and the 14 is right behind that....

:D :D :D :D :D:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

WooHoo!!! Onederland!!! Congratulations on a job well done! I think the Swedish band holds more cc's. That must be the one you have.

Congratulations Jeanie!!! :D :D :D Plateaus are so frustrating, but you finally beat it!

It must feel wonderful to be under 200 and fitting into smaller sizes. I can't wait to get to where you are... I think it would motivate me as well. I think you really have to hit a certain point to begin feeling like the band is really going to work. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten there yet.

Great job - when do we get to see some before and 'after' pics?

Congrats' Now go buy some tight jeans!!!

Iv'e got the swedish band which can hold up to 9.5 cc's. The Vanguard (Inamed) can hold alot. I was just asking the doc about that one, He said most don't feel restriction till they're at about 5cc's?? I'd find out exactly which band you have.

Onederland!!! yippee

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
