Wow! That's wonderful cissy!!! Congratulations and way to go...your pictures look great!

hi all

I havent posted in a long time...was the day b4 being banded in Sept 2005 but ya get that hahaah...

been going well, so far have lost about 21-25 kilos depending on wot scales jump on hahahah..

have only had one fill but that been my choice so far, might go back for another one in a few weeks....( the thort of the needle been putting me off) plus been losing weight steadily so figured was right for now...but it has died off in recent weeks so must be time for more torture from my dr...

loving the comments im getting , it only in recent weeks that i can actually start to see it coz my clothes getting too big which is a wonderful feeling...

well that is my update at the moment...cheerio Dee

Hey fellow bandsters!!! Going for my fourth fill on the 31st. I do feel a little restriction, but still feel I rely on dieting more than I can rely on my band...or is it I need to work on my headhunger more....lol..catch 22. Looks like everybody is doing well! Keep up the great work!!!

Hi all i got my 3rd fill and i am restricted at 2.5 i have lost 4 pounds since 3rd fill on 1/27. I can not eat breakfast though, i am very restricted. Keri, good luck to you on your 4th fill you look great and thanks for the pm. Sept bandsters lets get rolling in 06.

I know, I need to get back on the ball. I'm afraid to get another fill because I feel pretty restricted already, so I need to do something. I have started exercising, so we'll see how that works out.

Thanks Jay! I did get my 4th feel on Tuesday and man I already fill quite a difference. I can already tell that I am tight...remarkable what 1 cc can do. I am now up to 6.4ccs...so we will see. I for sure have to take smaller sips now...we will see how the food goes down once I am off the 3 days of liquids.

I've only had 2 fills, but I'm at 1.75cc and I'm plenty restricted. Maybe too much, as I only eat about 900-1000 calories a day, and I burn off 500-600 of those at night. My weight loss was great right after the last fill on 1/17, but has now managed to slow, then stop. I defintely don't need another fill, but I may need to play with my calories and up them some.

Jill, that is what it sounds like to me...even if it is getting in an extra yogurt or protien drink.

I have my next fill scheduled for 2/13. I know I needed to do something. I lost then gained back the same 2 lbs, so now I've been at the same weight since the 2nd week in Jan.

I'm going to throw my scale out. I've gained and lost the same 2 pounds now for 2 weeks, and I know that I have been ultra-good :target:

I just ordered a Tanita scale. If it says the same thing, well - ok, but I hate getting on the scale and not seeing it budge from 258 when I am doing everything right. I'm so frustrated.

I really wanted to hit my first goal by my birthday next week, but that's not gonna happen. At least, not according to THIS scale.

I am the most thankful person ever!!!:puke: I am now officially 1/2 way to my goal. I would have never, ever lost this much weight on my own. It's amazing the changes that I've been going through...

Lapbandtalk has been a wonderful place for support. I am blessed.

Thanks, Shawn

Congrats Shawn!!!! I am halfway to my goal as well!

Kerri, you are trucking right along!!! Good for you. Doesn't if feel great????!!! Terrific job :clap2: .

Shawn

Wow you guys have done great with your weight loss. I was banded 2 weeks to a month after most of you. But your stats are so good. I'm hoping the weight loss will pick up with my first fill next week. My nutritionist thought I was doing fine and didn't want to schedule a fill until now. She would have had me wait another month but I asked for it saying I can eat way too much. Anyway...congrats on your awesome jobs...you all are doing great.
