Yes a fill of .1 or .2 can make a difference. I know it seems crazy that such a tiny amount can

Hang in there....my body weight can fluctuate that much daily from fluid retention.

I weigh first thing every morning...and I have to not let it put me in a bad mood if I don't like the number. I can retain 2-3 pounds of fluid sometimes. If you've been watching your calories and moving those numbers will show it eventually.

Good morning all! I am happy to report that I moooved today! Just finished a 2.31 mile walk around the hood and I actually enjoyed it! Thank you pandora radio! My plan today.... B-protein drink S. Greek yogurt L. Turkey pepper jack on wheat thin bun S. Deviled egg D. Meatballs ( had chicken last night instead) I hope everyone has an amazing day! Remember......"she thought she could so she did"

Hang in there! Best decision I ever made and soon you will feel the same way.

I think you are all fabulous! Each one of you is dealing with a life battle and I think you are doing an amazing job handling things. I see divorce, illness,home issues, etc....but stop and think of where you would be in all of this without your band and this group. I know food was my comforter when I'm down or bored....well to some extent it still is. But my band helps me win that battle. And I'm sure yours is helping you too! Hugs and prayers to you all! @s_suther...so sorry about your grandmothers news. Hospice is wonderful and will be such a blessing to all of you through this. I had a pretty good day of liquids yesterday but I was hungry and wanted to chew by supper so I had some fish... ???????? confessing my no exercise this week Today's plan B- pro drink S-greek yogurt L- chili S-almonds D-meatballs with sautéed mushrooms and spaghetti sauce It's Friday friends! Let's do this!

Loving this success story! Congratulations bandista!! You are inspirational!

Congratulations! You've done a great job! Be careful with your band. You definitely never want to be too tight. It can lead to so many probs. ???? here's to your next 50 pounds!

@@s_suther can you share your egg drop soup recipe? Sounds yummy

Wow some words of wisdom on here today! What a support group we have! Went to the store for my planned 2 days of liquids. Got some Protein drinks & Soups and yogurt Tomorrows plan B. Protein shake S greek yogurt L broccoli cheese soup S Protein shake D soup S no sugar added fudge sicle @@punkinvine so sorry about your shingles. Praying for some relief! S_surher. Pork chops are pretty tricky for me too. I have to do small bites dipped in ketchup or something Have a great evening everyone!

Thanks s_suther... I think I'm heading to the store today to get supplies for a couple of days of liquids. I've read some other bandsters do this on occasion. I'm hoping this will help refocus my brain, rest my pouch tummy and get me back on track. For today... B-greek yogurt L- cup of chili 5 saltines S-baby shower try to stay with fruit & cheese D-not sure yet. Maybe meatballs & mushrooms in sauce Have a great day!

@@JustWatchMe I would like to lose 50 also but I can't seem to find a caloric intake that leads me to lose on a consistent basis. Ho hum...my struggle continues

Hello all! Sorry no post from me yesterday. Had a down day. But that is done and over. Just a question... How many calories do you allow your self a day when trying to lose? Mfp has me down for 1200. Idk if that's reasonable or too much.

My dr recommends removing some fluid if you are leaving the country or going on a cruise. But 10 weeks is a long time to be untfilled. Could you call and check around and see if there are any was surgery docs available in case u should run into a prob. If so, maybe you could skip the unfill

@@bacon that happened with my .5 cc fill a few weeks ago. I went in and got some removed. She took out a little more than she planned so overall I ended up with a .1 cc fill. I could actually tell a little difference in my restriction with such a tiny amt. might think about having .2 or so taken out. Might make a difference. So sorry. I know that sucks!

S_suther I know you will find that perfect house soon! We missed you @@bacon! Hope ur doc visit goes well Today is Easter party day so I'm surrounded by candy. But I haven't had any! ???? Today's plan B-eas Protein shake L-lettuce wrap with turkey pepper jack cheese and avocado D- I think I'll grab a rotisserie chicken and make some veggie sides Have a great day and let's make good choices!

Hello my peeps! I've had a great couple of days. Eating on plan and moving (forced....just wished I loved it) but I always feel better for doing it. Today at lunch..I slipped up. At a piece of something that looked so good. I can't believe I blew it over something in the school cafeteria!!! Grr! Ok done and over with.., tonight I will have grilled salmon and roasted green beans. Hopefully I haven't killed my calorie count. What calorie count do yall shoot for? @@punkinvine thanks for the metabolism tips. I'll def try to increase my water and exercise @ssuther praying for peace for your family! You are an inspiration to stay focused through life's trials @justwatchme. Way to move and have that plan ready! I know ther is a bigger brighter future out there for you! I'm working hard this week and I pray I see some movement in the scale Friday!
