Greetings Bandsters! Sorry I haven't checked in for almost a month. I've hit such a plateau, I can hardly stand it. I keep going in for fills, but I still don't feel a lick of restriction, and I haven't been as disciplined in what I eat, nor have I been getting much exercise. All of that to say, I need a swift kick in the butt to get back on track! I hope that those of you who have had medical or emotional traumas these last few weeks will experience newfound hope and healing. For those who are cruising right along, more power to you! It helps keep the rest of us motivated. Rock on!

*sigh* I gained 2 lbs this week. Big surprise I am late logging in. It was nice to have a big loss last week, but disappointing that I can so quickly jump back into bad habits, thinking I can "get away with it". Oh well, it's a process (long process) and we're making baby steps, right? I'm 64 lbs less than when I went to that first lap band info meeting, so that's something I have to keep reminding myself.

JayTee! You are a big part of what keeps me on track! We're almost neck-and-neck throughout (although you're always just a bit ahead). :biggrin: You're highest was 328, mine was 327. We both lost about 30 lbs before surgery and are currently just two pounds apart. A challenge helps give us a short-term goal to work toward, because too often the big goal gets blurry throughout the ups and downs. Please don't be discouraged, but congratulate yourself that you've done this great so far! Remember that others may be seeing your progress as encouragement to keep pushing!

Dang! It was a good feeling to finally update my "ticker" after 3 weeks of no movement! I am happy to say I'm down to 261 lbs! I have to say it's not because I am feeling an restriction ... just that I've been getting back to basics and not going out to eat and drinking wine in excess. These last few weeks of "celebrating" ... end-of-the-school-year parties, grad parties, etc. have really slowed down the weight loss. I go back for another fill on Monday, and I keep hoping that "this time" I will actually feel some restriction! Good luck everyone!

Awesome! Congrats Lingling! You go girl! Keep it up "team"!

Ughhhh! I'm standing steady at 267lbs. I now have 5.5cc's but still don't feel the restriction, except for one time when I ate SUPER fast and almost lost it. Just "keep on swimming", I guess! :thumbdown: Kaner

Thanks for the encouragement and positive feedback. I didn't realize how much I needed it. So for all of you who are feeling especially discouraged, "just keep on swimming" (Find Nemo) and stay focused on the goal ... healthy living! I was down & up this week and finally ended up back at *sigh* 267lbs. So no loss for me this week, but at least there was no gain ... right? Just keep hoppin' my fellow bunnies! Kaner

270lbs for me today. It's not as much as I wanted to see, but it's still on track. :thumbup: Amy

272 lbs for me today. I went back to liquids for a few days to restart the weight loss. A few pounds is good to see again!

April 30th was when I had my first fill (3cc's on a 13 cc capacity band) and still don't have ANY restriction. Is anyone else experiencing this? I honestly wonder if the fluid went into the port correctly. Both last night and tonight I had full dinners without issue, and that seems strange.

275lbs for me today. Rats! Kaner

Happy Friday everyone! My weight today is 275lbs. I had my very first fill yesterday and am excited to see what kind of change it makes in battling the hunger! I'm back to liquids for a couple of days, because of the fill. Wish me luck!

Sounds great! My height is 5'4" and my goal weight is 150 lbs. Which according to my ticker is a BMI goal of 25.7. I struggle with knowing if that is realistic, but there you have it. :smile2: Kaner

Hi. I was hoping to have hit the 50lb mark by today, but I'm one pound short! So ... today I am 278 lbs. Have a good weekend everyone! Kaner

Thanks for posting the pics Hopeful! You're looking great! Keep up the good work! I'm almost a week into mushies and am struggling with hunger. I never really felt hungry on the liquid diet, so it was quite unexpected. I met with the dietician today and she suggested that I add protein powder to whatever I can ... like cream of wheat for breakfast, s/f pudding, mashed potatos, etc. Because otherwise my only main source is pureed chicken, and I don't have that until dinner. It makes a lot of sense to me. I need to make it one more week until I get my first fill, then I hope to feel some restriction. I've stayed positive and have been loosing weight even without the restriction, but it's taken willpower and the encouragement of others to help me stay on task. We can do it! :smile: Kaner

LingLing! You're the best! I love this Friday weigh-in! I even like the competition piece that you've added ... it provides a bit more motivation/incentive to stay on target. Sweet! Congrats everyone for making it this far!

I used CIB too but added an extra scoop of Protein powder (I changed it up between a whey protein powder and a soy protein powder.) That definitely gave me the protein boost I needed.

Yep. I had the same pain the first week. My port is on my left side, and I was OK to bend over on my right side, but very painful on my left. It's been two weeks and it's gotten much easier. My surgeon said that the port was attached to the muscle right there, so it is expected to have more pain on that side.

Happy Friday. My weight today is 282lbs. Thanks! Kaner
