- Size 16 clothes. and realising I really need to go and buy a smaller pair of jeans as all mine are actually too big!! - Actually getting checked out by guys! or even better flirted with! HAHAHAHAHA (it really does make me laugh) - Getting compliments from people. I feel so superficial - Being able to get a ring off my finger that has been stuck on it for a few years!!

OMG! Now I am wondering! I have had some port pain too! Usually more around the fill times but the other day (Prefill) I bent over and stood up and got this real pain at my port site. I told the doc at my fill and explained it felt like if something was infected and you bumped it then it really hurt. I was told that it is most likely my scar tissue breaking down a bit. I will be keeping a closer eye on this now though and if it doesn't get better I'm going to call my doc! I also can't run without my port hurting. I have to hold my hand over it when I run or it gets tender...I am hoping it is just a scar tissue thing that will get better in time!

ACK!! It is nice being busy at work but not so busy you dont eat! At least you were able to control your dinner!

That is great Lellow!! I will feel exactly the same!! :angry_smile: Only 4 more kilos to go!! I have had my third fill today so I hope that I will lose a bit steadier now as I think I may finally be getting some restriction!! I had a weetbix for brekkie a shake for lunch and dinner and a little porridge (blended) and i am full! The last two fills I'd have been starving if I had had only that. Fingers crossed!

WOW that is awesome!! You must be feeling so much better!!! :angry_smile:

Was down another 0.4kgs this morning..... Hoping that this next week will contribute more

I lost 0.4kgs (0.9pound) this week. Slow and steady!!

Oh no, I hope I don't react to the stuffing!! My nanna has a special recipe!! It is awesome!! It is nearly Xmas!! WOHOOOO!!!

:tongue_smilie:Oh for a day off.....we don't Celebrate thanksgiving here in Oz. I was at work ... and I have an early start tomorrow BLECH! Hope you all have a lovely Thanksgiving! Next stop Xmas!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow halfway that is COOL!

So weird i did the same thing this week....94.0 yesterday and today 94.6kgs..mind you TOM for me too!! So i take the higher one anyway which means I didn't lose this week!! Bring on next week!!

I hear you...I am also really tired a lot lately (was more tired before though!)...I am worse though when I get to that TOM. So one would think it could be iron related....

:thumbup:WOW Lellow!! Just checked out your progress pics! Watch that tummy shrink...you are looking great!

So weigh in this am - 200grams lost (0.5lbs) Not much excercise this week which I am sure didn't help at all! Plus the hunger issue I have been suffering ... it's a loss though :tongue2:

I felt weird after a mouthful of my Oatbrits this morning......maybe it is kicking in! Well we'll see....now off to mow the lawns

I find myself in a bizarre circumstance! I had my second fill Tuesday and have actually been hungrier post fill than I was before the fill!!! Now I only got 0.5ccs put in so I am not expecting better restriction but it is weird how hungry I have been, even today when I am back to eating normally!!! I could eat and eat and eat!! Be interesting to see tomorrows weigh in!

You go Girl!! Don't feel shallow!! I totally understand where you are coming from! Knock em' dead...or not dead because then that would be a horrid wedding but knock their socks off :tongue2:

:tongue2: That is Great Gary!! You must be absolutely stoked!

Another thought I had is that I am coming up on that TOM...I always get the munchies/increased hunger in the lead up to it....so it could just be unlucky timing for having the fill!:tongue2:

And miss out on BONES Jachut ...No WAY! :thumbup: sleep schmeep! :thumbup: Brad I just find it bizarre as I had ok restriction Before that, I mean i could still eat a bit but was able to last longer between meals now I want to eat all the time!! Hopefully I will be over this hunger soon!

Whilst I head into Summer :thumbup: I hope I can deal with the heat better this year!

Glad that helped Barburitto!! I was going to post something similar on the other thread you started. Like Abrenner said, it will take people different amounts of time to get to your 'sweet spot' some reach it quicker than others, it just depends on the person. Also making good choices of food is key in that you should aim for food that is nutritionally going to give you the best outcome and also that is not going to just slip through the band! You will also find that you will plateau throughout your weightloss, especially as your BMI lowers. I plateaued for 4 weeks (from week 4-week 8). The weight is coming off now but slowly. You need to get your head around that fact that you may lose weight slowly and that can be hard. I am sure we would all love this to be a quick fix but alas it is not to be! Also don't get discouraged by other people's weight loss, they may be doing more exercise, have a higher BMI or just be lucky and lose easily! and don't compare with guys because they generally lose more quickly than girls! My first fill enabled me to last a bit longer between meals but I could still eat a bit before I felt full...2nd fill today so we'll see what happens :thumbup: My doc isn't a worrier, they said that until you reach that sweet spot any weight loss is a bonus! :laugh: I lost about 1.5kgs (3.3 pounds) in the past 3 weeks since my first fill :w00t: In the past if I lost that much in that period of time when dieting I would be disappointed but I have changed my outlook and am trying to be more positive!

HAHAHA I do it too! Or weigh myself and come back a few minutes later and do it again and sometimes in that few minutes I lose 200grams Weird I know but hey I'll take it

This week I lost 400grams (0.8 pound). Hey it's going down :smile2: Not much in the structured exercise dept with work but I did a LOT in the garden digging for 6 hours on one day and 5 the next etc and that was an AMAZING workout, I was in pain for days. 2nd fill on Tuesday :thumbup:

I have been eating Chicken Thighs after the dietician told me that they are more moist than the breast. I have been cooking this up with Fruit Chutney and Mild English Mustard in a non stick pan YUMMY!! Like Lellow if it starts to dry out I add a bit of water!
