Kristin, Maybe you could try a differant fill center. 20 pokes is crazy, my fill center(fill center USA) does a blind fill and has always hit it on the first time. I wouldn't have much faith in them. Just keep the faith I'm sure it will come to you, good luck

I was banded 7/22/08 and I'm down 49lbs and past the half way mark. But the closer i get the slower it seems to get, I guess that's to be expected. Congrats to all, It seems like we're all on the right path.

I know what you mean, slowing down is the hardest part for me also. and those small bites aren't that easy to remember eather. I've had many bouts with PBing and no it's not pleasent.

Donna, understandable I still have to fight that sweet craving every month. Any other time it doesn't bother me because I've never really been a sweet eater, but that time of the month I really want some.

That's great! every milestone we hit deserves a hugh pat on the back, I feel the same way. It's the best thing I ever did for myself.

Here's the link, Hope this works. I'm not good at this stuff. Just try clcking on it and see what happens. Surgical Weight Loss 5 Day Pouch Test

Donna, I saw on another thread that theres a 5 day pouch test, and they say it can jump start your weight loss. I'm gonna start it tomarrow and I'll keep ya'll posted. It went something like this: 2 days liquid protein(protein drinks and 6 8 ounce glasses of water)1 day of soft protein(eggs, tuna, ect. and six 8 oz glasses of water) and 2 days firm protein(skinless chicken, pork, steak, ect. and don't forget the six 8 oz glasses of water) you can have as much as you like but just remember to stop when your full. any how I'll let you know if it works, Unless you would like to do it with me and we can track our progress on this thread? let me know. it's only 5 days, not so hard and what do we have to lose? oh I know: weight!

Doing well, Your kicking fats but. CONGRATS!!!!! :teeth_smile:

Thx for the info, I'm gonna try it sat.(going to a halloween party Fri.) I really need a jump start. I've lost and gained the same lb for 2 1/2 wks now.

I also use centrum chewables, I get mine at rite-aid.

Your doing fantastic, great numbers

once again AMAZING!

I think you might be right, I'm gonna try it for a couple of weeks and see how that works out. Thx

That's fantastic Josh! I think your our biggest loser. Congrats.

I would have a problem with anyone who told me it's their policy, I think evryone is different and the fills should be based on a one on one basis and that's why I go to fill center USA. they try to make sure I get enough fill at each visit. I've had 2 so far and think I'll be fine for awhile. I hope you get what you need soon, this is a long tough journey and we don't need anyone making it longer or harder then it needs to be because of a policy.

I drink decafe all day everyday and have since I got home from the hospital it doesn't bother me. I do use powder creamer and I account for the calories in my dailey intake(1000)

Just wanted to take a minute to welcome you!

Thx Donna, but I was just saying on our other thread I feel kinda stuck(as far as what i'm losing now) Kinda 1lb up and down this past week and a half. I know my calorie intake is good (1000) I guess I need to step up the exercise. I have good restriction (4.4 in a 10cc) If i had any more right now I wouldn't be able to eat. I guess i'm lucky, I hardly ever get what I'ld call hungry. I also know it'll pick back up I've just been in one of those moods the last couple of days.

Wiredshut, your doing fantastic. I would give my eye teeth to weigh 159. and 50lbs you go girl. I think we all go thru ups and downs with this weight loss thing. somedays I feel great about my loss so far and others like today i feel like it's gonna take forever if it even comes. I only lost 1 lb this week and I felt like I worked really hard. But tomarrow is a new day. When I get in those slumps I come here and on the July butterflies master thead and my girls always make me feel better. With that being said I hope you will continue to join us. Kim

Alright ladies, I'm kinda stuck. I need to jump start the weight loss again, any ideas?

You look fantastic! Job well done.

You go girl! :biggrin:

Hey! now I've lost an elephants heart and a rack of baby back ribs. I wish more people were posting on this thread. I really think it's cute.

glad to hear your doing well, and again congrats.

congrats, that's great!:tongue_smilie:
