  7. Hi Mandy,

    I am doing good! Since surgery I have lost over 30 lbs..total of 50lbs! I had my first fill the 1st week of Jan but ended up going back so they could take it all out! It was way too tight (only 3 cc's) So we are going to start off slow my next appointment and only do .5 cc's.

    We got slammed with more snow! I am sick of lookin at this white stuff...

  8. Time to have some fun...I want all my facebook friends to comment on this status about how you met me. But, I want you to lie. That's right. Just make stuff up. After you comment, copy this to your status so I can do the same

    Gurgling

    I am 2 months post op and have alot of gurgling. I didn't have the gurgling until they gave me my first fill. I had to call the dr to take the Fluid out! I eat or drink and I gurgle. Its really annoying. It does not happen when I am sleeping though. Take care and good luck on your journey.

    ~~~The Big 50~~~

    I am going to be honest with you all~ Since surgery I have a difficult time eating. I can take a few bites (LITERALLY) a few bites of my dinner and be full! I had a fill (that made me sick) I couldn't eat...I have great restriction without any adjustments. I am losing about 5 lbs a week...(I haven't really been working out) except my sit up's on my exercise ball and 5 minutes on the treadmill...But lately at work I am on my feet ALL DAY LONG! Its just being more active...on my feet, moving more, thats all. But i am not taking in much calories... I have given up coffee, the taste makes me sick...Its all the empty calories that I am no longer taking in. I stick to protein and veggies. I have had a few carbs, but its not worth it cause they don't keep me satisfied long. I know not many people are lucky to have restriction with out a fill..but I am one of the lucky few. Follow my blog below...
  17. Do you really think we need another 20 inches of Snow??? I am so sick of looking at it! And there really is no where else to Put IT!!!

  18. I guess my question for you all is...How open are you about your band? Did you tell many people? Or are you the quiet type to not really say what you did and how you did it? I told everyone, reason being I am more cautious about what I will put in my mouth. My family knows, my work, friends, and just about anyone I could tell. I want everyone to know how much this band has helped me really find my way to health (I quit smoking and I am cooking healthier and eating healthier), although not just for myself but my husband and kids as well! My blog is below, please read and follow if you like! I wish you all luck on your journey. I am on facebook as well. Looking for other friends that are on the same journey as me!
