Hi Trace,

You're doing great. I've lost 47 pounds so far. I started water aerobics twice a week and I think the exercise is helping. I go for a fill on July 17th which is a good thing because I feel myself slipping back into bad habits. I'm excited this week because I lost weight on vacation and that has never happened in my entire life. We went tot Great Wolf Lodge for a few days with the kids. It's an indoor waterpark so I did tons of walking and tons of stairs. Lots of exercise. I'm at 264 and can't wait to be under 200 (seems like a long ways off but maybe by our surgervisary :smile2: ). Take care.

hey there, i have now lost about 33lbs, but as u probably know that can go up and down a bit. I now have 5.8cc in and still think 6.5cc will hopefully be my sweet spot. I go back in a month. U are doing so well and u don't have much fill in at all, thats so good because u still have so many more opportunities to have fills put in and loose more weight. I have worked out i'm only loosing about 1lb a week (no way near as quick as i would like) However if this continues that will be another 26lbs by the last day of the year and if u put it like that i will be well over half way. Thats the plan anyway, lol. I can't even imagine saying i have lost over 55lbs..... but i am hoping. Look fw to hearing about ur progress, Trace.xx P.S i still haven't done any exercise, lol.

Hi Trace,

30 pounds is awesome. Think where we'd be without the band. I have 3.5 ccs and won't have another fill until July 10th. I'm at a stand still again. I started exercising this week and have lost nothing. It's so frustrating. Thanks for the compliments. Take care.

Oh my gosh!!!!! How good do u look! Wow u are doing sooo well!!!! U have lost so much thats it i am ringing my dietician right now... I need more fills. How much fill do u have in? I have 5.5cc and i feel like by 6cc or at the most 6.5 i will finnaly have enough. I have lost maybe on a good day 30lbs. I guess it is all coming off, just slower then i'd like. And can i just say u look so young!!! Hmmm give me 10lb more off and i will post a pic too, lol.

Luv Trace.xx

Hi Trace,

I'm sorry your having trouble. I feel like I have restriction some days and not other days. I've lost 39 pounds but I seem to gain and loose the same few pounds for a little while and then finally keep it off and start the pattern all over again. I try to follow the eating plan on bariatriceating.com but don't always stick to it. I hope things start going better for you.

Hugs, Sherry

hi Sherry,

well i still don't have anymore restriction.... i was thinking what if i have skinny pipes inside and so i'm going to need the band practically full before i notice anything. That would suck but thats what i'm worried about. I now have 4.5cc in and maybe if i eat toast thats pretty dry i can feel it go down slow. i haven't lost any weight still and if anything i have put on a 2lb. So i guess at this point i'm not going to be half way to my goal by christmas. Please tell me ur doing better,

luv Trace.xx

Hi Trace,

I got a nasty virus the day after my fill. Bad nauseau and diarrhea. At first I thought it was the fill and that it would happen everytime but then my husband and son got it too. I felt restriction for a couple days but not so much now. i've lost 30 but again am at a stand still. I'm going to wait a little while longer and then get a fill. I have to miss a half day of work and have someone cover for me so it gets complicated. I hope things get better for you.

Sherry

helloooo wow ur a good girl sticking to the liquids for 2 days after the fill!!!! I had my second fill yesterday and would you believe despite my insistance the Dr only gave me 1cc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please that wasn't even close to enough. So i went home and had a yogurt with ease and then i had a normal dinner. Still no restriction.... ho hum. I have only lost 26lbs And i tried to explain to the Dr i know what restriction feels like because i had it for 2 weeks after my op. So now i have to wait yet another two weeks to get another 1 cc, but i will try to get at least 2cc, but i won't hold my breath lol. To me it just feels like it is holding up my weight loss going sooo slow in fills. Let me know if you have noticed any restriction, i see you got the equivelent of my two fills in one go... i'm jealous lmao. I am worried i will never feel restriction. chat soon Trace.xx
