Hello, I just had my 4th fill last Thursday and now have 4.1 in a 10mm band. I lost another 5 pounds...Woohoo... I had pretty good restriction, but felt it had been better weeks before so my surgeon but in .4. My Water went down fine and he even had me gulp it to make sure it would not come up. I am now past the liquid, mushie and now trying to wat some solids.... That is the problem, I cannot tolerate meat at all. I ate some itty bitty pieces of chicken earlier and it came back up...I even chewed it alot. so now I'm doing liquids again... I'm going to give it a few more days before I call my surgeon. I have to drive about 1 1/2 to my drs. office so I really want to make sure I need and unfil before I go in. Wouldn't I have problems even keeping liquids down to need an unfill. I figure my band is just being finicky right now....lol Any comments, ideas? thanks, Bren:smile:

I'm still here too. I'm struggling...I have been such a slow loser. I finally had a fill on December 23rd. Since then I have lost an additional 8 lbs. YAY! I just hope I can get myself on the losing side... I have been pretty depressed that I have yet to lose 50 pounds and my anniversary is the end of February. Can we start a "what did you eat today?" thread. That would be great. I will try to post more so I can stay on track.

Hello Everyone and Happy Holidays to you all. I had a fill yesterday...My first since August:thumbdown: With my stress in my life as you all know, I know I should have fought more to get a fill sooner. My Doctor was really great about it and talked to me about my personal issues I ahve been having and shared his past issues that were the same. He was sooo wonderful. I'm back on track and ready to become a loser again. I'll see you all in January and before. Here are a few of my New Years Resolutions : #1 Journal everything and stay on track! #2 Report in more here to all of my Lap band Friends. #3 Exercise at least 3 times a week...NO LESS

Ezma, You do have alot on your plate. I'm wishing you lots of weight loss and prayers for your husband. It is a busy time of year...maybe crazy is a better word...lol

Hello everyone, I have been gone for a while. Major depression...It looks like I'm heading toward a divorce:( We are starting counseling next month. I have been a slow loser any way and have had problems with PBing at least 2 times a week. This marriage thing started in October, and I have gained 5 pounds since then.. I feel like a failure all the way around. I have put up with alot of emotional and mental abuse for quite a while and have decided that I'm not going to put up with it. He needs to change and I also have things I need to work on too. It's still sad since we have two boys almost three and four eary next year. I don't want them living in an unhappy home and I want to be happy. Anyway, I've started on anxiety and depression meds. I've just been so sad. I have not been eating at all and if I do it's been bad foods. I really need to start losing again and start journaling my food. I have not had a fill since August and am not scheduled until the 23rd of this month. I REALLY need a fill too, so that does not help. I have just been so out if it and and really nervous about seeing my Doctor... I'm afraid I'm going to get the third degree about my weight loss. Thank you for listening.

LOL How funny!

Now that I'm close to 50 pounds lost (I need to update my ticker), I' worried at 43 that as I get cloer to my goal I will look older. I know i shouldn't feel this way. I'm 43 an most people guess between 35-37. I'm getting a few more wrinkles around my eyes...so I think I'm just freaking. has anyone tried Botox? Did you like the results> How expensive was it? How often did you have to do it? I have seen different people lose a big amount of weight and it just aged the alot. Maybe they were too skinny?...I don't know...just my paranoia I guess.

Thank you all for your input on this subject. I will have to deal with the wrinkle issues AFTER all of my weight loss and PS. Thanks again, Bren

You look great! Thank you for sharing:)

You have to feel so good! Congrats!

I'm thinking of going this route since I need something quick to eat at work! I've always been home with my boys until now. Can anyone give me their favorite Smart Ones or Lean Cuisines? Thanks I don't really see anything wrong with these. I will drink a few more glassed of Water each day to account for the extra sodium content!

I cannot believe I'm in a size 14! Its been... ... .... ..... ...... FOREVER WooHoo! I'm so excited about this!

Awesome!

Fall is also my favorite time of year. I love the colors...Fall is a great time to walk and enjoy the crisp air. We have had some great weather! I'm enjoying my coffee too and I too like my creamer! So I have to limit my coffee each day too. I even put away my regular coffee maker and bought a one cup maker. Its perfect!

My thoughts and prayers are with you and hubby. I hope you get get around this insurance thing somehow. It's so unfair.

I agree, concentrate on your weight loss and see his tune change. I really think its hard not to think of the terrible things he's said. You may or may not find that he is not the one for you. You need someone who is going to treat you like a princess everyday.

I was banded 2.25.08. I have a slow weight loss, but then 4 pounds this week...I'm hoping I'm going to continue losing at a higher rate for at least a few weeks...LOL Good Luck to You

Awesome! That is awesome!

How GREAT is that! and a size 10!!! Awesome!

Congrats Jaime! You have to be so proud!

OMG Tara...You are so funny! I loved reading your blog!
