i dont really know...i have 4cc in my band...im kind of afraid to get a fill...so since im losing about 0.5 lbs per week dr hoffman wants to leave me where i am. barb told me she would never give me more than a 0.2cc fill because im very sensitive...so i dont know maybe it is my sweet spot. i have only gotten 2 fills and they took most of my 2nd one out...lol so only 1.5 fills

i used to be the same way rain. and if i gained weight during the day...i wouldnt eat. i finally threw the scale out...but now im pretty good will only weigh myself once per day

wow! doing the pouch test every week. i just finished and did okay but i was off from work..if i would have been working it would def have been more difficult. it did get me back to eating better and i needed that.i think i will try it again in a few weeks

Rain, i finally broke my plateau....i have been on onderland for almost a week...hopefully it will last

that is great news vicki!!!! that is one thing i never miss

vicki, my thoughts and prayers are with u and ur family

i have an appt 6/30 with dr. h...anyone else going that day

i bought the protein powder at the vitamin shoppe and used that i made my own. i tried the isopure and they were terrible. some of the other ones didnt have enough protein and some were pretty expensive...so i used the protein powder

i dont tnink i have lost any weight either Rain. but suddenly today i cant eat too much so maybe i will start to lose. i have an appt. 6/30- but of course my birthday is the 28th so i better not do too much celebrating...lol

good luck to you

kathy, when they call you it is to set up the 3hr appt where u meet the nurse practiotioner, dietician and physical therapist and then u are on ur way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i am planning on going to the meeting

the conference was great! i really enjoyed it. friday night they had cheese and crackers, shrimp, chicken and some other thing. breakfast sat was fresh fruit and hardboiled eggs. lunch was sliced cold cuts whole wheat bread(which i cant eat), salad, cheese, grilled veggies..know there were other things but maybe linda will remember. sf desserts were cookies and jello. it was great hearing the speakers and networking with others. i would def attend again

i am also on my way to chicago for the conference...i think it will be good. there are speakers specifically for the lap band plus i have never been to chicago. i am also bringing clothes for the exchange but since i had to pay for checking in bags im not bringing a ton...lol

i had to do tha t rain...i was miserable and i thought id lose more weight being tight but i didnt...it wasnt worth it

linda, i wont be walking on saturday...i forgot i have a class this weekend

vicki, i cant believe they havent seen u either..when i was too tight and called they saw me that same day

just be careful rain too tight isnt good...i know now. they took 1/2 cc out and now i can eat anything but they wouldnt feel me...so if i gain weight im going to call them

good luck vicki...hope u get some answers

yes we are walking at delaware park linda

sounds like you are doing great. i had very little pain after surgery. sometimes nausea can be if you dont have enough liquid so make sure you are getting your fluids in (i know its hard)

Cynthis, thats what we are here for. we need to support one and other. id like to go to the support meeting this week- i just dont remember what time it starts..i think its 630 pm...can someone let me know

im going on the 19th if anyone will be there. im hoping that put some of my unfill back in....im eating so much it seems

anyone want to walk tomorrow morning at delaware park...just let me know

Rain, i was too restricted so they took out .5 cc and now i need more restriction, lol. i see hoffman next week so now i think i need more. hopefully he will agree
