230 - up 2 lbs. Indulged, too much salt for the last 2 days (eating out) AND needing a fill. Not a good combination. Called for a fill app't and they won't see me until next week. Unfortunately, I'm out of town that day. So I wait another week. Gotta grin and bear it. I CAN do it!

Checking in at 232 - one lb lost. Didn't make goal but any weight lost is good in my book! See y'all for the holiday challenge!

Checking in - I'm the same this week - 233. But with last weeks drop, I'm not unhappy. Besides, it's just added incentive to behave this week. We'll be in DE with son and daughter-in-law and beautiful grand daughter. They are having Thanksgiving dinner at church so the temptations will be myriad! Let me tell you, those Mennonite ladies can cook! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone!

Good Morning - checking in at a happy 233 - down 3 lbs this week.

Good morning all. I am weighing in at the same as last week - 236. <sigh> Had hoped for better but next week will see a good loss. Gotta up my exercise...

Thanks, Larry!

I was given a choice and the only thing I noticed (and like) is the port on the Realize is not sewn in and is thinner. I actually gave my surgeon permission to choose which one he thought was best for me. He gave me the Realize band and I am very happy with it.

Missed my goal weight by 1 lb this month but still lost 7 lbs - nothing to sneeze at. Final weigh in: 236. Can't wait for the November challenge!

Hi Carly I am really concerned - when you go in to the doc, what does he/she say about your discomfort when you eat? I only have discomfort when I eat too fast and or don't chew enough. I am in the "green zone' and want to help but this issue concerns me.

Checking in. Weight remained the same - 239. But that's ok. I've been loosing just fine over the last few weeks so I was due for a week of no weight loss.
