I have a 10cc band and have 6cc in. I havent gotten a fill for 3 months and have gained 20 lbs... I will get a fill on Wednesday.. Keep up with those fills when needed... Dont do what I did and wait...If you need a fill, get it.... Joe

Photonut.. It just gets better and better...

I want it all the time!

Hi There I am in the same boat. I gained 17 lbs. Went from 339 to 260 lbs and now back up. I will get another fill in august. I know I need to get back to working out and eating small meals again. I agree with everyone..go get a fill and start working out again...That is what I am going to do...I would hate to get back up to 300 lbs....again later Joe

Today starts day 4 for me... Yesterday Did not do to well...I had pretzels..I know not part of the diet.still -2 lbs..did not gain....

Hi Everyone Well today I start day 3. First 2 days were tough. Lost 2.2 lbs... Small lost but Ill take it....Well see at day five.....

Well the day is almost over, must say the soup taste good. My start weight this morning is 271.4 lbs.

Hi Everyone Well I am going to try this program starting Tuesday. I need a jumpstart and a kick in the A$$..... I have gotten down to 260 lbs and went back up to 272 lbs... It sucks... Its my fault... Eating the wrong things...Maybe this will get me motivated again......... Joe

Sounds like a atkins diet to me. Just eating less. While I was on atkins I would try to keep my carb intake to 30 g or less. It does work and would be good if u are at a stall. Joe

Hi there I just had another fill. I am now up to 6.5 cc in a vangard band. I dont fill restriction like before. I need to bring it up to seven. Joe

Just want to wish a Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers and future Mothers. Joe

You look great!

I agree. last two weeks were bad.. Didnt lose much weight at all. As a matter of fact I lose and gain. But started out fresh on Monday and now back on track. Need to stay focus for positive results.

I drink 30 minutes before a meal, and 1-1/2 hr after eating. There are times I may take a sip or two with my meals.

Has any one split/ divorce because of the new you?

Thanks everyone for sharing .
