Jenn S checking in . I am the same as last week at 204. I met my exercise goal and went over a little bit.

This is Jenn S checking in at 204. Down 3 lbs this week and 50 overall!!!!

Some insurances require a 6 month pre op. You have to be seen every month for six months. Make sure you are checking in with him each month and he is documenting what you are doing. I didn't have to go to my dr first. I just went to a seminar and they got me started.

Jenn S. checking in! I'm at 207 this week so I think that makes me down by 2. The fill is doing it's job!

Jenn S. checking in I'm at 209 this morning, so down 1lb. Fill tomorrow! Yeah!

I have a fill on the 9th so we will see how it goes!

This is Jenn S checking in at 210. I am down 1 more lb. The exercise did not go as well as I was hoping due to an illness that took the whole house out for 2 weeks. I'm back on it next month. Hoping to break 199.

Jenn S checking in. I stayed the same at 211. Considering all the illnesses around here and the lack of gym time, I'm excited I didn't gain!

Jenn S checking in. I am down 2 lbs this week to 211. I also had a great NSV today in that I went and bought some work pants and bought a 16w which is a size I haven't been in since high school. They are tight but they button and fit over my hips. I think a couple more weeks and they will be perfect!

Jenn S checking in. I'm at 213 so 3 lbs lost. Way to go everyone!

I used Dr Hohen as well. He did a great job and I really like his staff.

I am excited to participate in another challenge. I need the accountability and to see the weight loss in black and white. Good luck to everyone!

I'd be really happy with 80 though.

That was my first goal. It took me about a month after surgery and I was so excited. Congrats!

Jenn S checking in for the month. I am at 216 so that is 8lbs for the month and I met my goal! Barely but I made it! I am doing much better on my son's crackers and I logged about 780 minutes of exercise. Christmas was kept on budget mostly by necessity because they cut my husbands hours at work. My total weight loss is at 38lbs. I hope everyone else does well and bring on the new year!

He told me that if I continued to vomit and the meds didn't work then I would need to come in for an unfill. I only have 2cc's right now so I'm not really that tight. I tried some soup last night and all is good.

Well over Christmas I had my first bought of the stomach flu and it was not pleasant. The surgeon's office called me in some nausea meds and that helped but he said if it didn't work I would have to have an unfill. I stuck to liquids and soft foods today. I guess it stopped me from eating all the Christmas crap! Any ideas on how long I should stay on liquids and soft foods?

I am just checking in. I hope everyone had a great holiday. I had my first fill on Tuesday and then Christmas afternoon had a bout of the stomach flu. The surgeon's office called in some anti nausea meds and I have been on liquids and really soft foods since. But at least it kept me out of the Christmas goodies. It's almost the New Year. Time to start making some resolutions!

I had one a week after surgery which was a week early and nothing since then. ( I was banded in late October.) Same with me for the vasectomy so I'm not worried. The surgeon said that it happens sometimes.

This is Jenn S. I am weighing in at 218 so I am down 1 pound for the week and 6 pounds for the month. I got my first fill on Tuesday so I am hoping that will help with the hunger and I can kick out those final two pounds this week. Even if I only lose one I won't be morbidly obese anymore, just obese! I hope everyone has a great holiday!

I went there a couple of years ago and remember there being fruit and some different soups that would be fine.

Way to go! I'm okay with losing inches for sure. I have the same blue problem in the winter in Kansas. Today it was 54 though and we played at the park and took a big walk.

Hi everyone! I have my first fill on Tuesday and I am super excited because the last couple of weeks have been tough. I did have two NSVs this week though. First, when I started going to the gym 5 weeks ago I could only do 10 min on the eliptical but yesterday I was on for 45 min. My legs were like jelly after but once I walked for a few minutes it was good. Then this morning I tried on my last pair of jeans in the closet. (I've never actually worn them, they were a pair I bought expecting to lose weight but then I got pregnant.) Anyway they fit and I wore them all day! Hooray. I'm so jealous of those of you who have gotten several fills. I am ready for my first one for sure!

Way to go! That's amazing!

This is Jenn S checking in. I am at 219 for a 2 lb loss this week and 5 lbs total for the month! I'm keeping up with working out so I think that has helped a lot!
