Hi all

I was banded 10/22/07 - 43 pounds lost to date, no fills.

Hi Holly, This is the first time I saw this thread. I was banded 10/28/07. Had 1 fill and have no restriction. The Holidays have been so hard. I think I should go back on the pre surg diet for awhile to clean out the carbs and stop the carb cravings.

Hi fellow "Tens", No it's not that I lost all my weight. I lost control. Over the holidays and drank when I ate, burgers, fries, M&M's, you name it. Gained 23+ pounds. in about 5wks. It really looks awful on the weigt-lost-slope . I figure the first thing to do was 'fess-up and acknowledge my actions and start again. I scheduled for a fill feb 3rd. Until then it's Adkins and Protein shakes for me. What a tenacious monkey I have on my back. Well hope the rest of you guys are fairing better... if not just keep starting over. I mean I'm still down 19lbs from my all time high.

P.S. The "bump" is on the line on my weigh loss graph. I'm charting every saturday my weight when up creating what looks a spike or bump on that line. I hope this clears it up for you.

Hey the first step is admitting it... Congrats... Its a hard thing but its way better than denial, thats the enemy (at least it is for me). It's a new day and a new beginning. Pick yourself up, dust your self off and go for it. You can do it! Learn from it and forget about it, don't dwell on it, don't let yourself beat yourself up. We can be our worst critics. We all have bumps. This is a journey and its just a twist in the road. Have a great new day!

Holidays were a bit rough, all the great food and sweets. I had a fill the week before Christmas and with a little bit of exercise was able to loose 3.5 lbs. I went for my 4th fill yesterday and I feel a good bit of restriction while drinking. Hope this does the trick as I am ready for the weight to start falling off.

Thanks for the reply. I had given up on ever finding out what a bump was.

I hope I have lost 6 pounds since the 31st when I had my second fill.If my scales agrees with Dr. H's. I haven't upgraded my ticker and don't intend to until I have the two scales saying the same thing.

I had only lost 1 pound during Thanksgiving and Christmas but it was a loss.

Hey Arkie, Your welcome. I guess I could have been clearer in the begining. P.S. Doc's says It's hard too stay focused during the holiday(s) bombardment. So don't quit being a [weight]loser. Hee, hee, hee.
