Hey Lorriane Kelly, she was a big TV presenter in England when i was a kid...prolly still is. Good find stef.

So this was about 4 weeks ago total. 5 weeks we came back from Vaction and she was getting acid reflux every night...she was afraid to see the doc as she knew it would mean an unfil. I made her go. she had no restriction for 2 weeks and was in 'party' mode. She went back two weeks later and he put 1cc. she was at 1.7cc before in her 3cc band. She feels much better restriction again now even at 1cc. She said the difference when she was unfilled was truly amazing.

Hi guys. Steff....same thing happened to my wife and she had to have a complete unfill for 2 weeks. She was super hungry and begging for a fill after two weeks. Hope you do better but if not dont beat yourself up, it just proves it is working and that why we got it. Jess...Good job with your crazy schedule. I just got back from Montreal where i get to practice my french . I took a spin class at a local Gym that the instructor talked french for the whole class lol. Also it was weird that the readmills where all in french and i had to work out what button meant what. All that KMph instead of MPH was killing me too. managed to lose another 4 pounds last week. Im offically down 150lbs now and im just coming up on my 9 month banderversary. I really hoping i can hit 200 in year...wouldnt that be just amazing?? Keep at it everyone.

Burned your hand...tut tut. Cut me deep...... I got back on the treadmill after my big run on Sat and i was fine. Im up in Montreal Canada so i had to find a local Gym. The treadmill was in french lol...god thing i can speak french . Glad to see you still at it....keep it up JESS! Will be doing a french spin class on Weds so that should be fun. Keep it up my ladies. Thank you sooooo much for all the encouragement!

Thanks Baby. (that sounded weird) Sorry to hear about your loss. I know youll be back in no time.

Thanks Cindy!!! I started my couch 2 5k in Sept 07. Its got me this far so far.

Wow way to ride. I did the OshKosh 5k run today. 32F and freakin snowing but i didnt chicken out.

I did it!! It was SUPER exciting but the weather was terrible. 32F and SNOWING! yuck. I thought about chickening out with the weather but once i got running i stayed warm. Didnt walk any of it. It was kind of emotional seeing how far i have come from a year ago.

we call it.......come blow us.....no offence:)

Way to go C!!! Welcome to banding. Whats weird is i look back at the time i was in Hospital getting banded with such fond memories now! It was liek a really nice vaction or somethning---weird. THe nurses were so nice (Like Suzzie!) And i know its one of the best things i ever did for myself. I would do it again in a heartbeat!

London......ahhhhhhhhhh.........my home town.....how i miss it... SOrry bout your infection Georgia... Jess.......soooooo GLAD you checked in.....ive missed u....keep up the good work lady...i know you have a crazy schedule now... Tomorrow im off on my first ever race....my goal is just to not walk in the whole thing...should be alot of fun..cant wait to watch the ZUmba ppl. I will try and get a picture..

SUZZIE!! Same thing happened to my wife! She was having heartburn and reflux every night...GO SEE YOUR DOC! My wife was tooo tight andhad to have a total unfill for 2 weeks to let it heal! You could cause errosiion if you dont seem your band doc! She got a fill again now but she was very afraid to get total unfill. But YOU GOTTA go!!! You dont want to mess up your band.

OJ.. I was just looking at your stats...194! WOW. You have come sooo far! Its easy to forget how far we have come sometimes..so i just wanted to give you some credit! Keep it up lady! Not that you NEED my encouargement. But it is an insperation.

Well i got to say i havnt posted here for a while either. But i been working out like crazy. Running, swimming, weight lifting , spin class and bicycling outside now!. Im off to Montreal next week for work but i have a 5K run in Oshkosh to get through first. Wish me luck!

Thanks Salsa...its important to know we are all in this together. YOu ladies inspire me too!

Salsa!! thanks lady!! i dont post to show off i really do want to inspire people to get going. your doing a fantastic job. princesst.....your doing awesome too!!! keep it up lady.

I too freakin LOVE my montain bike now!!!!!!! All those spin classes in the winter are paying off. It doesnt even feel like exersise just fun!! I would of gone tonight but we got ALOT of rain. Funnyiest part was when i was riding back through town i went for my turn signal like on my motorcycle. LOL.

You want gross...i had to clean up a used tampoon of my teenage daughters that my dog pulled out the trash. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I about upchucked.

Wombat....first..CONGRATSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!! That is awesome!!!! Ive been watching you through the whole program. I had the same concern as you about the walk. For now i would count it. 2.25 is FANTASTIC!. keep it up for a while!! When i finished my biggest thing was 'what do i do now?' Your doing great. Do week 9 over and over for a few weeks. Count the walk as in the 30 mins and when you hit 30 cool down walk for 5 mins for a total of 35 mins. Next step i would take is i walk 5mins to warm up then rest the treadmill then do a solid 30 min only run. Some day this is going to SUCK! some days youll be fine. Right now ive managed to move up to 5min walk...reset treadmill then 45min run and a 5 min cool down. Of course i dont always run on a treadmill. If i were u i would go 30 min runs for a few weeks every now and again slipping in a 35. Then go 35 min and slip in 40mins and so on. I want to build till i can run solid for 60 mins consently. Takes me about 36mins to do 5K with only running so im pretty dang slow. Wombat you need to enter into a 5k run somewhere local now!

Neckid..........
