Yesterday, with much excitement, I got my first fill. I am very disapointed though:( . I don't feel any different. As I was about to leave the doctor said that all I need to eat is a portion of the size of my thumb. I really don't think that is going to happen. I'm not sure if I should call them back and let them know that nothing has changed.....I'll give it a week. Its such a bummer because it is quite a production to get into Boston and coordinate it with someone taking care of my two babies. I really want to make this happen and I really don't want to feel this disapointment. I have read that some people have had to get 4 fills in order to feel any restriction! Oh please let this work for me without waiting months before my special "tool" kicks in.

Hi everyone, today I am going to have my first fill. I have been very hugry up untill today and I hope that this will help. Any suggestions on how I should get through the next week....I know that there is a chance of sliming. I have never slimed and I hope to keep it that way. Should I expect to lose more weight soon after the fill? I really hope so because I have been stuck at the same weight for about 3 weeks!

You should be very proud of yourself! You are doing great....Keep it up!

ReneBean, I have to thank you....after reading your post I went and ordered some of the Ids new whey shots on ebay and I am loving them. It has become much easier to get all that protein down. I bought the 42 grm fruit punch and my husband jokes that it looks like really big blood vials! Anyways.....thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!

With my cup of coffee in one hand and baby on my knee this morning I logged onto LBT.com with the horror of all the changes that have been done. At first I was frustated but after thinking it over I figured that someone .....someone I don't even know....is doing this to better the sight.....for free. I realized that I am very lucky to have this sight to come to day after day and meet all you wonderful people without even spending a penny on it. I thank you who ever you are who is doing this....I don't mind change but I think next time I'll hope to have had my coffee first to deal with it!

I am happy to say that yesterday as I got ready to go to a bridal shower, I took one article of clothing out of the closet and wore it comfortably. It might sound like no big deal but in my past...it would take me trying on about 7 or 8 different outfits in order to feel OK with what I am wearing. I wore a shirt that I brought on my Honeymoon in 2003! I bought these pantyhose shorts things that work like a girdle....they are called Spanxs....and man are they awsome! If anyone has the lower portion problem.....as I like to say bountiful buns and thighs, these Spanxs shorts are great.

The Hiccupps....oh yes...very familiar with them. It took about 4 good weeks to finally get rid of those for me. Although...I would prefer hiccups over nausea anytime. I am so happy for you, this is going to be a wonderful start to a wonderful new beginning for you. LBT.com has been so helpful for me and I am sure it will be for you also. Enjoy every pound-losing monment!!!! Congrats!!:clap2:

LOOOOOOOKIN GOOOOOOD TAMMY!

I lost 1 more pound today. It might sound tiny but it is a huge accomplishment to me after the week I have had. I need to start getting in on all those goal date challenges I have seen on this site. If anyone knows of any that are about to start let me know!:nervous

You must be so excited...Congratulations on your upcoming journey! Best of Luck!!

Thanks Tammy...I needed that!

I am about 7 weeks post surgery and I am feeling a little ....I don't know....down maybe. I am happy that I got the surgery but I really don't feel much different. My weight loss is at a plateau and I am getting hugrier than ever. I haven't had a fill yet so I don't know exactly what that is going to do for me. I really hope it takes the huger away....I am so ready to lose more weight!

Wow! you have done fantastic! You truley are an inspiration.

I am very happy with the huge 5lb. container of eas vanilla whey protein shake I got at BJ's for i think for 23.00 after the coupon they had for it. The container holds 75 servings and has 23 grams of protein and 2 grams of carbs. I like the vanilla because I add a handful of frozen berries or whatever flavor to change the taste from time to time. Hope this helps!

Congratulations!! Keep up the great work....you're doing awsome!

I just recieved my new whey liquid protein shots and...Yay....I can do this! Each 3 oz. vial contains 42 grams of protein! I got the fruit punch and it is really good! I thought that I would need to add it to water but it is ok to drink by itself. Even though I could drink it down it 2 seconds, I am going to have 1/2 in the morning and 1/2 at night because I read on one of the threads that the body can only absorb 20 somthing grams of protein at a time. Just a little personal note, Today I polished the wood work on the walls with lemon pledge and decided to do the whole house pretty much and now, my floors are like ice....both my 2 yr old son and I have to pretty much crawl on our hands and knees to get around the house. What did I do? I just thought I was getting a good workout in my arms and now we can't even walk in our own house! OOOOPS!!:faint:

Your doing great...It is good to know whats going to happen when I get my first fill. Mine isn't until the 26th, can you believe that? Until then, pure will-power!

You're doing great!! I'm jealous of you, I'm not getting a fill until the 26th!! I am down 25 pounds and I know excactly how you feel about gaining any weight. Thanks for all your comments....its nice to have someone who is right where I am at in this journy. WE CAN DO THIS TAMMY!! This year we will compare our weight loss....next year, we will compare our bikinnis! Take care, Nicole

I got on the scale this morning and to my surprise the scale said 230! I want to be excited but I'm so afraid tomorrow it will go back up to 234. But for now I am pretty proud of myself. I still have not made it to the gym.....I know....bad...bad...bad!:phanvan Tomorrow is my apt. for that stupid sleep study follow up, I will not wear a mask I tell you, even if they say I need it. OK, this happend yesterday.....I went to put my sock on and without thinking of it I crossed my leg. It didn't sit perfectly but I have not been able to leave my leg crossed without any serious effort for about 4 yrs! :clap2:

Ok, after reading I want to thank you all for the advise. It was very helpful. I am about to buy the ids on ebay for 33.00 including shipping. That is for 12 bottles of the 42 g protein fruitpunch ids new whey. Do you think that is a good deal? I went to gnc but they didn't carry it. I am so excited about this because i don't think I could stand another shake. I like the idea of mixing it with water. You guys are all awsome.....I don't know what I would do without lbt! Has anyone tried the protein pudding?
