Hey guys!! I went in for my 2nd fill today and found out that I have a 10 centimeter band but that it only holds 4cc's of saline!! I was like OHHHHH really? Anyway I have a total of 2.4 cc's in the band now (he gave me 0.9cc today). I can't really tell anything diff. but then again I'm just on liquids till Thur!! UGH This is the WORST part of getting a fill!! I am hungry STARVING all the time on liquids! So therefore I'm VERY grumpy!

GOOD NEWS I have officially lost 50lb!! I was sooooooo excited I did a happy dance on the scales!! LOL They just laughed at/with me! So I'm right on my goal of 10lb a month! WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO

Oh my goodness...NOW I HAVE HEARD IT ALL!

On the news, this very second, they are talking about how obesity can be attributed to a VIRUS!

As if I need something to blame other than myself! LOL That is NUTS!

I can't wait to see how/if this ever pans out. It is still in the infantile stages of research.

Boy, oh boy!

I also have the 10 cm - 4cc band. I had my second fill last thursday and have 2cc of omnipac in mine. i can tell a huge difference! some of that can be attributed to my entire first fill disappearing... so i went from zero to 2 cc's!

I'm still not sure exactly what restriction is... but my food options are soooo restricted now! If it's dry or bready or gums up.... it HURTS!!!!

Anyway, good luck!

Holli...wow that is GREAT:whoo:Keep up the great work!!

QUESTION what kind of scale does everyone have and if it a super duper, how much did it cost? I need to get a new one and don't know which one to buy.

stef you are so funny! where do you get your clip ons? I don't know if I would want a sonic cookie dough blast, does not sound so good to me, but they look good! We only have one new sonic in our area, I have been there once!

Where has toni gone???? I have not heard from her in a while?

I was wondering about Toni too.

I have a Weight Watchers digital scale. I bought it at Wal-Mart a couple of years ago for about $35. It weighs up to 380 pounds.

I saw that Weight Watchers scale at Costco---didn't see how much it cost though....I can check for you today, though if you have a costco membership and you're interested :)

Pippz, what kid of music are you downloading? I need new ideas.

My current gym playlist is as follows:

It's Alright - Ricky Martin

My Humps - Black Eyed Peas

The Killers - Move Away

Shakira - La Tortura

Bell Biv DeVoe - Poison

Beyonce - Check on It

Kanye West - Stronger (LOVE THIS SONG)

Nelly Furtado - Do It

Melanie C- I turn to You

Timbaland - The Way I Are

Get Your Head In The Game (HSM soundtrack ..uhhh how did that get in there?)

LL Cool J - Apple Cobbler

Ozomatli - Ya Viene el Sol

Beyonce - Get Me Bodied

Daddy Yankee - Impacto

Q-Tip - Breathe and Stop

Gwen Stefani - Wind It Up

K7 - Come Baby Come

Timbaland - Give It To Me

Kelly Rowland - Like This

Lady Sovereign - Love Me or Hate Me

Lloyd - Get It Shawty

Lumidee - Like The Wind

Salt-N-Pepa - Push It

Ricky Martin - This Is Good (GREAT SONG)

Rihanna - Don't Stop The Music

John Mayer Trio - Try

And that's mostly it. I have some others on there but I listen to these the most.

I have like 80 gigs of music and can sing almost every line of the songs. I've always been into music more than TV or anything else really.

I'm dead tired. I'm hung over too. I drank half a cup of vodka last night on a "date" that I was nervous about... :-| Today is my midyear review at work so I'm not having a great day I guess! hahaha

Thank you, ma'am! Most of my clipart comes from photobucket.com. You can find ANYTHING there.

Here's a few just for you: java_steaming_md_wht.gif

Oh honey! The Sonic Cookie Dough Blast is AWESOME! Of course, at just shy of 700 calories for the regular, I've only had one...and ate it over three days! LOL There are Sonics everywhere here. I've got a 15 and an 18 year old, and they love that place.

I've got Tony Little's BODY EXPRESS Body Fat Analyzer & Scale. It measures your weight by two tenths of a pound, and also give your body fat percentage and hydration percentage. It's about $50, and here's a link:

Hello all June 07 bandsters! I haven't gotten a fill. I have a hard enough time trying to eat. I would like one, but I just can't. No PBs, however, I know when I need to stop. I'll glad to see everyone is doing so well thus far. Here are a few before and during pics of me.

Well I had my 2nd fill yesterday, 2cc in 4cc band. I can't eat a thing hardly! I hope it loosens a tid bit! I still don't understand the mechanics of this I guess. It is supposed to tighten up so food takes longer to go through to the big stomach, but things get stuck and back up if it doesn't go through, but I thought it wasn't supposed to go through right away, ie: feeling full faster. I'm confused, you would think after all of this I would understand a little better.

I got my 2nd fill today. I have the small band and at my first fill they put in 2cc and I had absolutely no restriction. Today they saw there was about 1.6cc still in the band and they added more, so I now have 3cc. I'm on liquids for the next 24 hours. I can hear/feel a gurgling when I drink, so I hope I get some restriction this time.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
