Awesome job John! You are such an inspiration!

Last Friday- 237.5

today- 237.5

No loss. i'm so bummed. This hasn't happened since surgery. I've lost one pound in two weeks. I have an appt with surgeon next monday for another fill. But also, I started new birth control pills and that's when this all started. So upset right now.

Down 1.6 this week to 178.6. A little at a time. I can't wait until my second fill on Mon. I hope they do 3cc's like last time. That would make me two thirds full. I am eating too much, too fast again. I have to keep a handle on that.

John, what is opening the band? An unfill? That would make me nervous too.

Congrats. to everyone this week. Hope next week is great!

I actually gained 2 lbs this week and I'm not upset about it at all. I was told when I was unfilled that I would probably gain something or stay the same since I was technically in starvation mode (for all that don't know- I was a few days away from being hospitalized for dehydration and malnutrition) and not getting the proper nutritiants because of how tight my band was. So I'm embracing the 2 lbs, because I know now, That I will lose them and more, and It's just my bodies way of saying thank you (for the moment)

Last week: 197.4

This week:197.8

Was acutally down to 196 on Monday but I went out with friends Monday night and had ONE drink! BAM, been gaining all week! I hardly ever drink. ONE DRINK! UGGH!

Oh well, keep on truckin'! Have a great weekend all!

Today's weight 189. Down one pound from last week. Whoopee!

Down 1.6 this week to 178.6. A little at a time. I can't wait until my second fill on Mon. I hope they do 3cc's like last time. That would make me two thirds full. I am eating too much, too fast again. I have to keep a handle on that.

John, what is opening the band? An unfill? That would make me nervous too.

Congrats. to everyone this week. Hope next week is great!

rguay - I will probably get an unfill at my next appt. We'll see. I've been training myself to eat less and the idea of an unfill makes me nervous. You are doing great.....keep up the good work.

Carrie - Thanks for your praise. Losing one pound is still losing one pound. Keep it up......:biggrin:

Sarahbellzz14-4 - Well put.....Well put... Your body is saying thanks you and you are right, your reward will be losing at least two lbs this week.:biggrin:

I finally dropped some weight this week! Went down another 3lbs most in one week since the surgery. I finally have some restriction and am working on tightening up my act now!! Gratz everyone on their weight loss!!

Good job Minx! :biggrin:

And John, thank you! I needed to hear that!

The scale said 207 this morning - need to update my ticker. 7 more pounds and I'll cross the southern border into one-derland. I can't wait!!

In the last week couple of weeks I had gained 3 pounds because of getting off of 1 of my blood pressure meds (a diuretic) and 1/2 of the other one. Well, finally I took those 3 back off plus 1 more pound. Yahoo! (when I started taking bp meds several years ago I lost 8 pounds in 1 week), so I am just pleased that I had only gained 3 from stopping them. I had expected that, but I'm past the hump now. GB

Weighed in this morning @ 232 lbs. Down 2 more lbs. Total 105 lbs. Can't believe that the last fill on 8/25/09 is still giving me good restriction.

My goal is 223, my Doc wants me to try and get to 220. We'll see. Watching muscle mass as I'm starting to lose some and I really don't want to. All in all, a great experience. :scared2:

John you are simply amazing! Good job! I'm sure you'll have no problem getting to 220!

As for me:

Last Friday 237.5

Today 234.5

Finally after a couple of weeks, I'm seeing some progress! I finally hit 60 pounds! I'm excited!

Congratulations, John and Carrie! Woohoo! :scared2:

I didn't weigh in last week (traveling) so in the last two weeks, I lost 3.5 lbs, for a total of 69.5.

John, try not to worry too much about those extra 3 lbs. the doc wants you to lose. Think of it as a good buffer.
