Doberman

Actually banded 04/29. Had my 1st fill on June 11 and weight has stayed the same at 330. I cashed out a 401K and paid cash cause I figured if I didn't do it I would not be around to spend it the way I was gaining weight and picking up diabetes and joint problems. Cash got me in and out in 30 days. I'm 47 and retired USAF. Recently got laid off and know that if I don't lose some pounds I will not be able to find a decent job. Have two grown sons, 2 dobermans and a greyhound. I use this board for support.

One thing that I do is not to weigh myself daily-too depressing. I weigh myself every Sunday and I do it in the morning before any fluids or meals then I get an accurate reading on how depressed to be-Ha Ha! Also I do it in night clothes so it is always the same. If you wait until after noon and meals etc there can be a lot of flux but for me standardization works. Also went to a fill center and found out I had no fill in me, the Doc missed the mark so the nurse put 5 cc in. Can't wait to see how much a difference a month makes. She also did it by Floroscope. I thought about goats too and then found out you had to have em in pairs and then I though they'd eat my well pump.

Just 1 fill my doc was too busy to even get an appt for a fill so tommorow am trying a Fill Center which is in town. I have 3 cc in a 10 cc band w/no restriction. I do low fat and keep active around the place. My yard is a tropical jungle with acreage that must be reclaimed weekly-Ha Ha. The Dogs keep the trails open. My riding mower died (3 wk repair est)so I expect to be getting a lot of use out of my walk behind stby mower.
