Good Morning!! Kim, it didn’t go well for me, I had my fill on Monday at 7:00 p.m. and I was feeling pretty good yesterday I ate an activia for breakfast and dinner and an oatmeal for lunch, well around 2:00 a.m. today I started feeling sick, I couldn’t breathe and started PBing like crazy, I stayed up all night running to the bathroom it was hell!!! I called my Dr first thing in the morning today and ask him to take out 1cc, we met in the ER and thank God that was over!!! I’m now again at 2cc and still on a 3 day liquid diet, starting again today. Next Tuesday I’m going to the Nutritionist for the first time and I’m going to start taking some vitamins. Kim, I can’t wait to be in the 16s again!! You must feel awesome!!! Linda, Congrats on your weight loss!! And take a lot of pictures I have always wanted to go to Disney have fun!!!

Hello everyone!!! I had my 3rd fill yesterday, so I'm now at 3cc, I'm on a 3 day liquid diet, I don't know what to eat, any ideas?

Hi Missy I also had my surgery in Mexico, well I live in Mexico, and I’m sorry you didn’t have a nice doctor or someone to go for support, maybe you should look for another Dr. I was banded July 24 2012 and in 3 months I lost 40 lbs, I go every month for check ups and fills I currently have 2cc in my band, I’m doing good but if I wasn’t my Dr. has a team of nutritionists and psychologists that we could see and they are fully supportive, I’m not alone in this and you shouldn’t be either, is there another Dr. in your area that gives fills? Maybe you should get a new Dr, but honestly you need to start making good choices, watch what you eat and start counting calories, the band is a tool and we decide how to use it.

Thanks Kim, now I just want to be in Onederland!! LOL and I need to update my profile picture I'm feeling great today!!

Hi Ladies! I’m so happy to tell you that today the scale marked 200 lbs!!!!! That’s -40 lbs for me!!!! I usually wait 3 days to tell the news but I’m too exited to wait lol I’m noticing a pattern here the first week after a fill I drop 5 lbs and the following 2 weeks nothing and then the final week of the month another 5 lbs, 10 lbs each month. Also I’m back to my pre-baby weight lol it took me 2 years and 7 months but I lost it. I’m hoping to lose another 10 or 20 lbs by Christmas!!! Hope everyone is doing great and stay safe those of you who are affected by Sandy. Have a great day!! Lucía

Congratulations, your story is amazing, you made me cry.

Thanks for the tips Linda Hopefully I can lose another 5 lbs by next week

Congratulations Linda!!! I’m so proud (and jealous lol) of you!!! I’m stuck again at 205 and I can’t wait to get there, I know it’s my fault ‘cause I’m not doing so well with my “diet”. If you have any tips let me know I’ve been having this pain in my port area, I don’t know if Emma (my little girl) hit me and I don’t remember or what but I also feel it more, and you can see it now, I have to ask the Dr. if everything is OK with that. One of my best friend is getting married next march and I’m going to be her maid of honor!!! So I neeeed to start losing more weight lol I don’t want to look fat in the pictures. And I finally cut my hair!!! And now it’s dark red!!! My hubby really likes it Hope everything is going great ladies!!

Hi Ladies!!! I’ve been a little busy these couple of weeks, but I’m back. Linda I’m so glad you are feeling better. Kim I hope you had a great time with your parents I know Mom’s food is always better and we always want more lol. Melissa You look great I can’t wait to be at 180’s!!! Marie, Congratulations on you 40 lbs!!! The last couple of weeks were really hard, I was eating like crazy and all the foods I shouldn’t be eating, tacos, chips, tostadas, everything!!! And every morning I thought it is a new day I can behave today and nope didn’t work. On Monday I had my second fill and the Dr told me I was doing great I was like Whaaat? I’ve lost 35 lbs even when I was eating like crazy, I’m now on soft foods again so this is helping me to stay on track again, I’m motivated again and I’m wearing my old jeans Hope everyone is having a great week!!!

Thank you ladies!!! I can wait to be where you are I'm starting my zumba class today and thinking of cutting my hair, I have really long hair it was my "security blanket", what do you think? should I do it?

Good Morning!!! The scale was generous with me this weekend, and moved 5lbs. I noticed on Friday but I wanted to keep it off at least 3 days to call it a victory. And I fit in my old jeans size XL regular non plus size, yesterday I wore a pair of capris that still had the labels on, so I’m starting really positive this week.

Kim you just said exactly what I've been feeling since the start of the month!!! I don’t want to think that this is a waste of money and the most expensive diet ever!!! But at times this is what I feel, this feeling of “I did not signed up for this”, I eat small portions my house is full of healthy and expensive foods, here in Mexico nothing is organic or light so the few things that I can find are way too expensive, I’m running around like crazy everyday, I’m going to zumba classes starting next week, but the friking scale does NOT MOVE!!!! I just want to throw it out of the window but I know I will go outside and pick it up lol I was so excited with my progress but this month has been really hard, all the pressure, the stress, the non-eating, uuuuggg it’s driving me crazy, not because I’m hungry or I’m craving foods that I can not longer tolerate, but because of the f&%$ing scale!!! Sorry I sound like a crazy person but I’m just exhausted and not losing weight is not helping yeah yeah I know it’s not only about the weight loss it’s more about being healthy yeah I KNOW THAT but I don’t wanna hear it today, I’m having one of those days and no I’m not PMSing LOL OK enough with my frustration… Linda I carry mi 1Lt bottle of Water everywhere I go, it’s always with me and it help me drink from 3 to 4 Lts. a day, or you can buy those crystal light on the go packs. Yesterday was a good day for Breakfast I have a 4oz. yogurt, for lunch “caldo de pollo” and for dinner a spinach salad w/cherry tomatoes and onions, I think my choices were good, what do you guys think? Today I started my day with a smoothie let’s see how it ends Do you guys have FB pages this is mine if you want to Friend Me, just don’t mention my band LOL http://www.facebook.com/lucia.a.alfaro Lucía A. Juárez

now all I'm thinking is going to McD's lol the worse thing is I don't even like it
