You are so awesome!! That would be great! Now I just have to figure out when I can come.

I didn't get to weigh myself today so I will just say yesterdays. I am down .5 it SUCKS!!! I need a fill REALLY bad! Since I am not going back to the last fill dr I had, and everyone else and their dog charges too much, I will be flying back to denver!! I am hoping to come the second or third week of Nov, depending on when dr.k has an opening. I might have to bum a ride from the airport as money is really tight. And $20 to pay someone's gas instead of $40 to take the shuttle would really help. Also I SO want to go to RR with ou guys, it always sounds like so much fun! So let me know when you are having your next one and I will try to get my fill that day.

I'm so glad it went well!! It must have been so much fun!! My dad is doing really well, and he is back at work and everything. He will start radiation treatment on his brain in a couple of weeks, and is taking injections for the other cancer. It's not chemo the doctor said it is more like a giant dose of white blood cells. So instead of making his immune system suck, he won't even need a flu shot. My mom is doing well too. It helps my parents that they have a new grandchild to distract them

Sorry that I haven't been on in a while, just been lurking a little. Lots of family stuff going on. I put on a pair of jeans this week. If you knew me you would know that I haven't worn jeans in almost 2 years because they were always uncomfortable and finding them in my size is a pain. I am now fitting into a size 24!!! in JEANS!!!! And no big muffin top!! I was definitely a 26 pushing 28 and getting worse. Since I have been a slower loser this is a big deal for me!! I desperately need a fill though.

Everyone is doing so awesome!!! I put on a pair of jeans this week.

Welcome Sunnyside!!

CONGRATZ on the awesome weight loss so far!! Welcome to LBT!! You will love it here!!

You are doing FANTASTIC!!! I would give a LOT to have lost around 50lbs. I still haven't hit 25 yet. You are an inspiration to those of us who lose slower. Thank you!

I have been reading through these posts and agree that breastfeeding is VERY important. Of course there are those who are not able due to many reasons. I hope to breastfeed my children when they come along. I'm not sure if I could do it for 2-3 years though, it might make me a little crazy. But then again, maybe I will enjoy the connection with my babies. I think there is something to be said about adverse effects of formula. Just like most things in life, what is right for one, may not be right for another. Some babies do wonderfully on formula, and some(like my neice) are throwing up constantly because of it, and could really benefit from breast milk (her mother didn't want to give up smoking when she was pregnant, but did because her husband insisted. As soon as she was born though, mom went right back to smoking. The poor child has a horrible reaction to the formula, and stinks so bad) As for breastfeeding in public, I have no problem with it, but I agree with using a bit of modesty, not everyone wants to see.

Mini, technically I lost 2 this week. I guess I should be happy, but I am really frustrated. Probably because of all the other stresses in my life right now. But I really LOVE to see the numbers go down every day.

I figured I haven't posted here for a while, sorry! I am busy with work and teaching private lessons. I LOVE teaching music at an elementary school!! The kids are so quick to pick up the symbols, values of the notes, etc. I am already running out of resources at the school and am going to need to get more. How did your psych eval go btw?

Hi!! Dr K is awesome!! I wish you the best of luck!! Also, there is a good thread "Considering Dr. Kirshenbaum" that you should checkout. A lot of us ladies banded by him chat there.

I had the same thing happen!! My fist fill lasted all of 2 days, and I lose more when I eat more calories. I suggest playing around a bit with the calories. I found that if I get all my Protein and eat about 1300 calories then I see a bit of weight loss. I am a slower loser apparently so that may be it too, but I weigh almost 100 more than you do. Good LUCK!!!

My port is about 4 inches below where my ribs meet, my bra doesn't really bother it, but I didn't wear one for about a week after surgery.

Sorry I haven't been on in a couple of days. We got the results from my dad's tests, and he has a sort of melanoma cancer, it is under the skin. I'm not sure what it's called, but he is going to be having radiation on his brain and injections for this other cancer. I don't know all the details, I am still trying to wrap my head around the fact that my dad has cancer. Also, I know that I need another fill, but with everything my parents are going through I don't feel like I should ask them to set it up. They payed for the surgery for me, and insisted that I tell them every time I need a fill. When I get another fill I am going back to Dr.K, so we'll have to see.

CONGRATZ on being in onederland!!! That must ROCK!!

I don't think that any of us were "outraged", just confused that you would post here. We ALWAYS encourage our fellow bandsters to research deeply into whoever their Dr may be, and for whatever post op care they may need. If you read our whole thread (it would take a LONG time) you would see that we do. I am disappointed however, that you would insinuate that we don't encourage anyone.

CONGRATZ!!!! :Banane53::thumbup::Banane27::smile2::laugh::Banane27: That is so awesome!!!!

So I got excited this morning when I got on the scale because it shows another 1.5 down. I didn't even have a chance to move it when I gained and now I am back to it. I seem to lose the most on the weekends when I don't watch what I eat very carefully. Go figure.

I agreed with the fact that people need to research before jumping in. I was just confused as to why you posted it in a thread that has been going for so long, where "Considering" is most likely already over for the OP.
