How stupid am I ??? I should have known.. but, of course, at my age, that was many moons ago !! . I guess I can't blame my problems on that anymore !! My progress is so slow, its like .5 to 1 lb per 6 weeks down.. but the good thing is that if I hadn't gotten this band.. it would have been at least 1 lb gained per month.. I will be approaching 1 year out in November.. its been a long haul, but, next year at this time, I should be at my goal or pretty near it.. I have been reading the posts and sounds like you guys are doing awesome.. slow is ok.. and also the trick is to keep it off.. I think that its been a success unless you need to get un-filled like a couple of you have, but as soon as you start with the fills again, you get back on track..all is not lost.. just stay healthy.. you don't need any complications with being over-filled..looking forward to seeing everyone at the next meeting.. there is one in october, isn't there ?

Ah... thank you so much that is it!

Sorry, I had an Nova proceedure yesterday, it is an ablation (sp), so bottom line is, I will still get pms type symptoms but chances are really good no more bleeding at TOM, or very light spotting. No more cysts or excessive bleeding. So we will see, either way, no more 2-3 week periods.

I love my dr, if this works, then I get to keep all my parts but if it doesn't then hysterictomy would be in the future, and I don't want that.

OK well have a great day, I'm getting ready for nutrition appointment and try to jumpstart the loss again

I went to the Olive Garden yesterday and ate A LOT. I dint think it was possible but I overcame.HAHA. At first the breadstick got stuck but once it passed I was able to eat pretty much my whole bowl of Soup and a whole plate of fettucine alfredo. And it was GOOD!:smile: I only had one breadstick as I think that was the initial problem. Oh well every once in a while its good to be able to eat like a normal person and not just sit with food stuck in your in throat depressed!

Good luck this weekend girls.

How can we help you Vicki?? Your struggle with this band makes me want to figure out what we can do? You may be one that just needs a whole lot of Fluid for it to take affect I guess. Lets us know what Hoff says.

Rain, Just knowing you care helps me a lot, I am not even sure how to help myself..I feel lost, like I cant remember how I did the 80 lbs. I don't know what happened, except that when i started getting filled and unfilled everything went crazy. I am either too tight or too loose. I could cry.:smile:

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
