My Weight Lose Is Slow Again Since The Unfill!!

Im Going To The Doctor Again Soon

Wish Me Luck

I suck at this weight loss thing. I've only lost 40lbs in 6 months. Gay. Granted, I may have gained a bit of muscle, but not THAT much. Again, gay.

Neveragain

Don't feel that bad. Just came back from docs office, lost a whole 2 lbs this month. Geez...I've been working so damn hard I thought I'd at least see 50 lbs gone!

I'm not sure what it is, but it seems like ever since I started working out, I have been losing 2 lbs a month. She looked back in her charts, and since July it has been steadily 2 lbs....

Go Marchies! We are awesome!

In October, I'm going to kick this plateau I've been on since June! I'm getting a fill 10/17. I'm hoping 2cc's will do the trick.

I'm Getting a fill on the 17th also

I'm gay and I'm losing weight pretty well.

I have a NSV to scream about!!! Woohoo!!!

I finally broke down and went to buy some clothes.

My 24 fall off, my 22s look rediculous, my 20s come down over my hips w/o unbuttoning them.

So I had ONE pair of size 18 pants that look and feel good for work. Well, I can't wear the same damn pants every day so I went to the AVENUE, or as I call it, my store, the fat people store. I was on the way to the airport with my dad and sister so they came with me.

I tried on a bunch of size 18s and they just didn't look right, my dad said - "go get the next size down girl" . So I did! And guess what!! They FIT!!!!! YAY!!!!

I put on a 14/16 for the frst tme in well - hmm - about 10 years?????

At work today everyone congratulated me on my weght loss.

Even my boss!! He said, "by the way Nicole, notice that you've lost a lot of weght, 'm happy for you, keep t up."

Well - he is so self absorbed was n shock!!! LOL

So YAY ME!!!

Now to get into ONEDERLAND!!!!!

Congrats, Nikki! That is just awesome. You are doing incredibly well. What an inspiration!

Nikki that's fantastic!!!!!!!!!!

Great job Nikki!

Isn't it a wonderful feeling when that happens?

I shop at thrift stores and seem to drift towards the plus size section, I held up a cute sweater the other day and thought it will fit...it was huge on me, an XL. My eyes and brain haven't caught up with my actual size yet.

So my story in a nut shell. Had almost 3.3 CC's in my 4cc band. September 5 had 1.3 ccs taken out from excess pbing. Felt better and started to lose again because I was able to eat healthy and was not sipping down shakes. This lasted until last week of September. The band out of no where started to feel tighter every day, a little more each day. Eventually last Thursday out of pure desperation from ribs hurting from Pbing I had a total unfill. I was afraid I had a slipped band. I did not though, thank god. Anyway, after 6 months of being banded and having good restriction I thought, UUMM, I bet my stomach has shrunk and I will not be able to eat like I did pre- banded.

Holy crap you guys was I wrong. Between Thursday evening and Saturday night I have put on 5 lbs. I could eat an entire cow I swear.

So now I am totally depressed, I wish I had just waited out the tightness and gone on Clear liquids for a couple days to let things calm down.

My doc is going to think I am crazy because I now want to go in tomorrow and have a fill.

Has anyone else gone through this, Mrs. Husker I know you have for other reasons.

Guys I have one thing to say I NEEEEEEED this BAAANNNNNDDDDD!!!!

Oh, I love the second hand shops too, don't know what I would have done without them. I literally gave all my clothes to my friend. It just killed me because I am a big designer person (Liz Claiborne, Jones Woman, Tommy H) I have so much money tied up in clothes. I thought of e baying them but e bay seem s to have dried up. But I feel liberated to have those clothes gone for good. Where is Kythera????? Anyone see her on other boards, was she offended by anything from this board ya think?

Congrats everyone on 6 month milestone. You guys are true inspirations.

Good night, for now.

Hey Friend,

It happened to me--completely unfilled...then the eating storm began!!! I gained about a pound--so I should not complain. Two weeks ago Tuesday I had a 1.8 fill--not where I was at 2.8 ish...so I am able to eat sandwiches etc... couldn't do that with 2.8. So here is the deal, let your little pouch calm down---then in about 3 weeks or longer get a fill but be conservative. I am probably going to get another slight fill--but nothing like I had. I believe in quality of life--and I was not having quality of life Pbing all the freakin' time! I felt like a SLIME MONSTER!

Thanks Denise,

I agree quality of life, there is something to be said about that. I was pbing everything. Why do you think it happened, do you think stress or just that the band has a mind of its own? It just started getting tighter and tighter:eek:
