I posted this in some other place, but I really wanted to post it here, at the home of my victorious valentines....

A month ago yesterday I was 329.

Today I got on the scale and for the first time in three years it said something beside 3 _ _.

My scale read 297.6- I hadn't weighed myself in a while bc its a good way to depress me and if I get depressed I eat, so almost two weeks ago when I looked at the scale it had gone up from 306 to 308.

So I excercised some, but mostly I have been concentrating on stopping when I am full. Thats really hard for me.

I go for my first fill April 17th...but if this continues I think I might just say "no thanks"

congrats!!

That is so awesome sugar!! What an accomplisment!! you will never see those 300's again!!

Oh, it's funny, when I saw my doctor after two weeks I still felt restricted and told him I still felt great and probably wouldn't need that first fill and litterally the next day I entered bandster hell. LOL. It was so funny! So, I wouldn't cancel that appointment yet; with all your weightloss, that band might get loser and loser in the next two weeks.

Best of luck!

That is great! Congrats. I am in bandster hell now also - praying I get a fill and that it helps at my next appt.

You are doing great!

Congratulations...I, too, need to ignore the scale. I only allow myself to weigh in bi-weekly. It actually helps me not to get down. Wishing you continued success!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations!!! That is a major accomplishment and I'm so happy for you!

Thank you all for your support. I believe this is the most weight I have ever lost at one time. I have never been able to do it. I would go down 20, go up 40, go down 20, go up 50, go down 10, go up 100. I am so glad to be here and so happy with my progress.

I wish you all the luck, and i am so glad you guys are here with me.

Congratz Tara! You are doing terrific!

It's so good to hear your victory story . . . that's awesome weight loss for a month! Keep up the good work . . . and I agree, knowing when to stop eating is very hard . . . but you did it! You go girl!

Tara that is absolutely wonderful news, i'm very happy for you! :smile:

i know the bit of not knowing when to stop, that is so hard, i'm hoping with a fill it will be easy to know before it's too late when i'm full.

I keep a food journal on my kitchen table and have only missed 2 days of not fillling it out. i have not done that this long either, i'm afraid if i quit writing down what i eat then i'll start justifying too much.

Keep up the good work!

Way to go! I know what you mean about the scale being depressing. I went up 8 lbs between 3/10 and 3/19, finally lost the 8 lbs plus 2 more this week. I wish I could break myself of the habit of weighing everyday.

I agree with coolcrystal about keeping the fill appointment. I saw my dr on 3/10 and he said I had restriction from surgery (no fill, just a tight fit) and might not need one. I swear, within 2-3 days I was in bandster hell. I got my fill on 3/24 and it has been great. I'm not constantly hungry, just cannot eat past the full point, and feel in control again.

Keep up the good work!

Congrats. That is sooo awesome.

Thanks everyone. I will keep the appt. I appreciate the input
