Candle, you are doing AWESOME too! You are almost at goal! How many fills have you had? How do you feel? Do you ever hear from Clara Mae? So good to hear from you. I will check out the August 2007 Forum if I can find it. How many calories are you sticking to and how often do you exercise?

You Rock!!!

So good to hear from you!!!

I am august! Going for my 6 month checkup in a few days. I have lost about 70lbs since surgery morning. My band is very restricted (4 fills) and I have a lot of food intolerance to the usual suspects - bread, rice, dry meat. Other than that I am feeling great and getting a lot of exercise. The WL has been pretty steady other than a plateau for a few weeks when I was not restricted (between fills). My doctor is pretty available to fill as neccessary and the longest I have ever waited for an appt is 2-3 weeks. I think that helps a lot!

Good luck to everyone - looking forward to seeing holw you are all doing.

Hey Shelli.

No, I have not heard from Clara Mae and she hasn't posted in awhile :)

I'm feeling wonderful! I am getting close to my original goal but I think I'm going to drop it by 10-20lbs. It's hard to say - I carry a lot of weight in my mid-section (stupid apple shape) and I'm still not even close to happy with how I look. A TT will probably take care of around 10lbs too.

I haven't been exercising as much as I should but I'm working on it. I can't wait for the weather to warm up so I can walk outside. I started a walk-run-walk-run routine right before it got real cold so I'm hoping by summer to be running!! We'll see ... :eek:

I've only had the one fill back in Nov. I have the 10cc APS band, I forget which one you have. I got 2cc's and still have no restriction but I'm doing awesome so sticking with what's working for me! I'm in the 900-1000 per day calorie range.

What about you? Answer your own questions + how are things going with DH? Got any plans for the summer yet? I told my BF we are doing a major overhaul on the yard this year so be prepared to try and keep up with me - lol! We also plan to go to a local Water park and Six Flags in NJ (two things I would have never done before)
