babygirl:

Yeah, I second that!!

Anyway, How are you doing? Your loss is amazing.

How are you doing as far a fills?

I'm at 4.25cc in a 4cc band.

Hoping that the band will have enough room in it for my lifetime.

So what about you?

My ticker is almost accurate--- Ive been playing with the same 2 - 3 pounds in either direction. (hoping this last fill helps)

My ticker is also accurate. I am doing pretty well. I put on about 10 over the hliday but I have gotten it all off now. I am at 2.75cc I think. I had a bit more but had to get a slight unfil due to barfing all the time.

I am doing pretty well though. Working hard, trying to stick with it so thank you for the compliment. What have you been up to?

Today was a good day for me, I try really hard to make healthy choices. (the kids junk food gets the better of me sometimes, that goodness I cant eat that much of it!!)

It is a slow process but I wouldn't change a thing...........there is no way in hell that I would have lost and kept off 60lbs without my band!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I'm officially laughing my ass off. Leave it to Babygrl to start a thread titled "ugh" to get us started!

I always see us Feb '07 bandsters all over the board, but rarely ever are we talking to each other specifically.

I have had some issues. Last May, my dad died. I had just had a fill, so I was TIGHT from the stress. Not overly so, that I was having problems, but just enough so that I started lapsing into the bad habit of eating "easy" food, ice cream, chips/dip, even indulging in candy bars and crap every day.

By the time my restriction loosened up some, I had really gotten lax about my eating and working out. So much so, that I was down to my lowest weight of 222, held there awhile, and then started creeping up. I finally stopped that upswing of the scale last Friday, when I went in for another fill, and re-dedicated myself to counting calories and exercising. I was back up to 237 on Friday morning, and this morning, I was back down to 231.

I am at a current fill level of 1.75cc's in a 4cc band. I have nice restriction right now, and I hope it lasts!

Anyhow, that's what I've been up to, what about everyone else??

Kelly you are a friggin rock star!!!!!! The holidays kicked my ass or I might actually be close to 100 down. I gained about 10 in December but I did manage to get that all of in January and then some. When has that ever happened before? Uhhh never.

RTL I have pretty much banned junk food in the house. The kids have been snacking on yogurt, fruit, Peanut Butter crackers, raisins, etc. I also stopped eating sugar about 3 weeks ago. All sugar, which has been a bit of a pain because you know that everything has high fructose corn Syrup in it. But I had to kick the habit. I ate like a 1 pound bag of m&ms and pretty much disgusted myself.

TG again sorry about your Dad. I can't imagine having to go through a time like that especially so soon after such a drastic life change withyour band. Good for you getting out and getting started again. The hardest part is getting starting, once you get going it is easy to maintain.

Yes KHolmes...how is Dawson? Hee Hee.

You guys are doing so great! I am guilty of not coming back to the 2/07 banders threads. At some point there were so many of us it was hard to keep track of everybody. That's a good thing though, isn't it? That so many people are being happily banded? Good for us!

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
