Thanks everyone. The little things really do make a big difference. Friends tell me I even walk differently now. I guess it is because I am not hauling so much with me. LOL Donna

I went to a xmas party last night and it was one of those times when my band would not let me eat much of anything. It does that sometimes. I was kinda pissed because there was so much good food there. But...... I got up this morning and weighed ........187. OMG. YEA!!WOOHOO!!! MERRY XMAS TO ME!! Do I seem a little excited??? I am just happy. I was really afraid when i spent so much money on this band ,( self pay) that it would not work. But it really does work great if i do my part. I just feel great and want to share the happy feeling,:clap2: and the info that it does work. Five months- 50 pounds. Donna :clap2: Merry Xmas everyone:D:clap2:

Thanks Julie, It sure feels good. Have a good xmas. Donna

Please do not wait too long to see a doctor . It sounds like you are too tight. If all else fails go to the E.R. Good luck Donna

WOW DAVE!!! You have done great with your band! I love to get on here and see people doing so well. This site has been a great help to me also and Merry Xmas to all!:rose::hug::rose:

Way to go !! I am 54 and i think it goes a little slower as we get older. I just hit the 50 pounds off mark and i am so happy. Hope everyone has a good xmas. Donna

I can only eat small amounts now so i work had to keep it healthy. I want to make sure i get my protien and veggies. I try to stay away from the junk food , though it is hard at the holidays. I must be doing ok though because i am still losing. Steer clear of junk and high calorie foods and you should be ok. I write down everything i eat. It helps me keep track and not overdo. Donna

If it does not hurt you are ok. As long as your doctor has moved you to solids it is fine. Remember you do not have a fill yet. It will just go through. It is easy to overeat before you get your fills so be careful of that. Merry Xmas Donna

Congrats on your wonderful progress!! Donna

I think you said it pretty well Transformer. Donna

:rain:Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Xmas! Donna

No you will not. Liquids go right through. Donna

I did not get good restriction until the third fill. I was still losing good though because the band itself helps reduce hunger for me. Donna

Wow !!! You are doing great! Congrats on your loss. Donna

My son is there. Congrats to you and be careful. Donna

I have no idea. I have been craving chocolate the same way. Donna

I had lots of those little pains the first few weeks . But if you are worried at all, you should call your docs office. Donna

Good luck. I am glad you are going to your doctor. Donna
