I weigh in weekly and plan on posting here to keep me focused. If anybody else wants to post their losses on fridays with me feel free. I figure the more the merrier and we can cheer each other on as we start climbing back down the scale! Personally I find Fridays help keep me focused over the weekends.

Good Morning All !!! Stayed the same this week at 191. I guess I'm o.k. with that, I have to be, huh. I get sooo close to a new ### ( 180's) and I just kinda stall out ! Maybe next week !!!! :biggrin: Hope everyone has a great weekend !!! See ya next Friday !!

Morning Everyone. The scale said 271. That can't be right, I'm sure it's wrong!! How many of us have said that???

Oh well, I had a great loss last week and it's the end result right??? Hope everyone has a good week.

Hi All

Sorry was away on Friday and I am very sorry I haven't done the spreadsheet for a few weeks. I have been in Auz visiting friends.

125.0 for me today after four days on bad food and booze - trying to pretend I didn't have a band as my friend didn't know!!

Feeling okay - quite positive. Good work all of you for coming back and weighing in this week - I know how easy it is to just not hop on those scales!!!

Will do spreadsheet with friday's weights!!

xx

279 for me. Haven't been on here at all lately. Must get back to the support. 2nd fill tomorrow, I HOPE!!

I was at 225.0 on Friday 7/24

I'm at 253 today 7/31. I still good restriction from my fill but sometimes getting the munchies. I need to get back to at least walking and try to go beyond that to get some muscle building in also.

WOW August 1 tomorrow did July gone fast or what?

Morning all. I weighed in at 271.5 this AM. Two weeks in a row I'm up .5 lbs. I haven't been as good as I should.

JT. Can you believe it's been 16 weeks since our surgery???

I weighed in today at 206.8 but I know that is because I had a fill yesterday and liquids so next week will probably be a slight gain again.

The good news I think is that I now have 8.2 cc in my 11 cc realize band. I think I am going to have some good restriction with the fill of 1 cc yesterday.

I am so ready for the dieting to be over and the band to begin if you know what I mean.

I weigh 217.4 today.

I am so ready for the dieting to be over and the band to begin if you know what I mean.

Amen! 196.5, I also just had a fill and have been on liquids for 2 days (good restriction now).

190 this week, fill #4 is scheduled for a week from today But I am only down so much this week because I just got over a stomach flu! Ughs.

I did learn this week that my band's efficiency in controlling my hunger is directly related to my exercise . . . when I do 10-15 miles a day, I eat 2 cups at a time and end up doing 4 meals because I'm hungry again in 2 hours. When I get a lot less excercise (like only 2-3 miles a day), I'm OK with 1/2 cup at a time and it lasts 4 hours. So I can either stop excercising and follow my program, or I can go get another fill & see if that helps me stay full longer.

I have a feeling that this band is going to keep me on a learning curve the whole way through!!

Happy Friday all!

A tough day for a weigh-in for me. This morning I was 260 again, so no change. I had lost 2.5# between last Fri and Tues. morning. Then Tuesday afternoon I got my period and gained all 2.5 back. I'm not too worried about that though, it's all bloat and water retention and it should go away when my period's over.

Of course right now I'm no where near 260. In the 7 hours since I first weight myself, I went from 260 to 266.5 and I ahven't eatten a morsel unless you count pills and a sip of OJ to get them sown, as food. What I did have was 2 liters of IV fluids and .5 liters of contrast material for a CT. Man, those fluids weight a ton.

I'm going to post in my blog about my trip to the ER this morning but for now, long story short--I have a honking, massive, painful kidney stone. Ouch :crying:

Well I haven't checked in, in quite some time...but here are the stats as of today weight 230.5. Got a fill tuesday and haven't been able to hardly eat anything. I may have to go back and have them take some out.

Hey Guys!!! I made it out of the 190's!!!! I weighed in this morning at 189.5 !!!! That's down 1.5 pds. !! We are ALL doing so good !! I think one of the things that is helping me stay on the right track, is coming back here to track what I'm doing and find out how everyone else is doing !! I have to hold myself accountable to someone and this group is it ! It's important to stay in touch and encourage each other and help those who need it, that's why we are here !! Talk to you guys next week, have a good wkend !!

257.0 for me today I knew that the 7 lbs from last week was to good to last.. looks like I will not be making my mini goal by next week.. ohhh well maybe next time..
