It actually took me 2.5cc before I felt much restriction at all.

Welcome to LBT! Good luck with your journey and keep us posted!

I know it's going to be hard, but I also know you can do it. Make sure to eat your protein, it will stay with you longer than anything else. Stock up on veggies, carrots are crunchy and can take the place of chips etc. I find that a cup of tea with some good tasting creamer makes me feel like I have had a good dessert!

My doctor told me coffee/tea was ok, so I never went without it. I drink it every day, I would be a bear without it! I have read a couple of articles that say it is good for weight loss too!

I don't follow any diet at all, just eat my protein first, followed by veggies, and sometimes a few bits of potato. I pretty much eat what I want to only smaller portions.

Welcome to bandland and LBT! Glad to have you aboard!

Mine fell off in about a week.

Have you had any fills at all? Could you just be too tight?

Congrats on your date! It'll be here before you know it! Being excited and nervous is normal:)

My first fill was 1.5cc and it didn't do much for me at all! But, you don't want to get too much on the first fill and be so tight you can't eat or drink. I still think a slower approach to the fills is better for you.

Hey everybody! Yup Cindy, I have been out riding all day! It is so beautiful. In fact, I think my face is burned and so are my arms! It just felt so good! Then we ended up at Chili's and got supper. I behaved myself though and had a chicken salad, ended up just eating the chicken off of it mostly! What a great day it has been! :) Eileen - That is neat that you cook for a week in one day. Heck, if I did that DH would have half of it ate before the end of the week! That man of mine sure loves to eat! I think it is great that you didn't need a fill yet, too many times a doctor gives a fill just because the time is up. I have to pay $200.00 a crack for fills, I want as few of them as I can get. I had to pay him $200.00 to get .2 taken out too! That did upset me a little bit! Well, my neighbor just came over so I better go talk with him. Catch you later!

Definately South of France, the chances of actually getting picked for the show is so slim, I wouldn't even take the chance.

Never heard of it, but it probably goes along with all the other stuff!

I have been thinking about you, let us know how it goes! Good luck!

Welcome back! Sounds like you are doing great!

Whooooo Hooooo! Now that is the news I have been waiting to hear! Sure do hope you start feeling better to go along with that good news!

Welcome to LBT! Take some time and start reading all the threads on here, and you'll find lots of inspiration and informations.

Good for you! Thanks for the post too!

Welcome to LBT! You'll find a lot of information here just for taking the time to read it all! Good luck!

I take Flintstone's complete and viactiv, it's what my doctor recommended.

I weight once a week. I started out every day, but found that my weight varys so much from one day to the next. Once a week just works better for me. My doctor also said coffee/tea was fine to drink.

Only my family and this summer I told one of my neighbors because she is going to be banded.

Welcome to LBT! I'm glad you decided to post and introduce yourself:)

Welcome to LBT Kelli! How nice that your insurance covers everything for you!

I thought the same thing! Unreal!
