Well it's been 12 weeks now, and I am averaging 2.83#s loss a week. Of course there are days that the scale moves down and then back up again, but that's ok if the end result is a loss at the end of each week. Concentration is the key for me so now I am contemplating a vigorious routine beginning this weekend--even in the rain. Stress is a factor too that must be dealt with, and the past two weeks I did that. Now that I am through an inspection-passed, and caught up on planning the next three months at work, I am relaxed and relieved and will concentrate more on my weight loss. Currently I am at 109 kg's from 123.1 kg. 24 Apr will be my date of my 4th FILL, making it 8cc's in a 10cc band. Yes I planned my 4th FILL, I acutally delayed my FILL from May purposely to see if i could loose more on my own, with two weeks to go, I am sure I will loose some, but it's time to get my next FILL. Probably this will be my last FILL for a while as I will go through the spring and summer months with much activity. 100 #s loss goal is attainable in one year--will honestly try. Good Luck to all other bandster's, stay positive and let's help one another with our progress reports.

I'm going to the doc today. I'm having pains 30 mins after I eat anything, I'm so scared my band has slipped!! How can I slip on 3.5 cc's!?

I hope I'm just overreacting, but I know for sure I'm having an unfill, so that the pains can go away. I'm at 13kgs lost now (I think since Sunday, I lost a pound due to avoiding eating anything, cause it would hurt. I'm on liquids again!) I dont want to stop loosing, but I need to eat food!
