Congratulations for your loss!!! please update if you lost recently..

this thread is not a race, we are all different .. do not compare

yourself with others! it's just a way to keep a contact between us!

Now lets work to lose another 10 lbr till ThanksGiving! yes we can! :)

So very happy!!! Had band surgery 7/27/05. Had first fill (2cc's) this Thursday. Wasnt too bad. Have noticed a really difference. Was very apprehensive before going. So glad I did. With every pound that goes I feel I am morphing into a better me. I am shocked that this weight has come off the way it has. Yet Iam so very happy. Never did I think it would make such a difference. There are so may little things that have changed. Man I cant remember when the last time was I lost 25lbs!!!! and ive gone down 2 sizes!!!

To reward myself I had my hair cut yesterday.

I am so happy to be a bandster!!!!! Sure looking forward to what is to come!!!

Highest 296/Presurgery 292/Current 269!!!!

My surgery was July 22, 2005 and I am down 30 pounds on my official ticker. I have had one fill, .5cc, and am waiting until I have a day off (Oct. 10) to try another. My avg. loss per week used to be 2.5, but it is slowing down now...still about 1 lb a week. In some ways I am happy with that, and in others, I'd like it to be faster. Sorta like the "angel" side and the "devil side"!

7-22-05 My Date I Hav Lost A Total Of 25 Lbs As Of Today. My 2nd Fill Was A Definate Difference. I Am Impatient Also. I Want It Gone Now!!!! But I Can "weight" Lol... It Will Come Off I Know It. Jamie

Update. I have now lost 25 lbs.

update! I am down 19 lbs. since my surgery July 29th. I had my first fill September 14th, 3ccs in a VG band. I know I am a slow loser, but heck I am pretty proud of myself! Without the band and change in habits, I would still be wearing tight clothes, and taking 3 different meds! Keep up the good work guys & gals!

I know I am a slow loser, but heck I am pretty proud of myself!

it doesn't matter if we lose slow or fast.. but what ever we lose, its for ever!

ah Diane i'm on Fall Challenge allready i ll be confused if i be in more

challenges lol :)

I've lost 20.5 lbs. Seems to be going way to slow though. Since my second fill I've had a hard time eating/drinking anything. Even cottage cheese tried to choke me.

Cheryl,

If you are having a hard time drinking you may be too tight. I had a fill on Sept. 21st and could drink anything. I did have a hard time with the difference in the amounts I ate and chewing slow. It took me several days to get it in my head. Cottage cheese hurt me once, I guess it was too fast. Now if I don't eat slow and chew slowly I know it.
