I got my third fill today so I'm now at 7cc's

I got my third fill today it was under fluro not bad the only thing different was that you are on the x-ray table and you drink stuff that they can see on x-ray. The Dr was able to see the port better and get in it easier. I mentioned that I'm sometimes unhappy with my loss. We discussed how much I've lost since surgery and prior to surgery and he said that I sounded normal and if I wanted quicker weight loss I chose the wrong surgery. He asked me how many times I'd stuck to a program this long and been able to lose this much weight. He also said I only really had another 30-40 pounds to go, I laughed and said for a first goal eventually I want to be below 200. It was a good visit with the Dr. He thinks this will bring me close to the sweet spot most people don't need much more then what I have now.

I accidentally drank some beer once, lol no really, I was at the grocery store and they had recently redone it and part of the redo was to add a beer cave. They were doing taste of Miller 64 and I didn't think about it till after I had a thimble full.....lol. I don't really miss the diet coke once in a while I think mmmmm X and a diet coke sounds good but it's just a passing thought.

I can't remember if we have a thread discussing this or not but I've been wondering about putting something on my scars now that we've got a few months behind us. But then again I'm having gallbladder surgery and they said that other than the port incsion they will probably use the same ones they made when I got my band..anyway Is anybody doing anything to minimize their scars?

No change for me this week still at 249. I'm scheduled for a fill Tuesday but not sure I'll get much put in I'm having some slight stuck feelings at times and can't eat chicken at all. A lot of it is going for so long with out restriction I don't slow down, take small bites and chew like I should.

I've heard this before I may try it...thanks

RM you, and the rest of the ladies, are welcome anywhere as far as I'm concerned....sorry ladies if I was miss understood.... RM always provide great insight and a lot of information. I really miss the homepage that had random post or new threads whatever it was I usually saw your post form there.

Imagine the threads in the Powder Room......

One of my coworkers told me today I need new pants my butt was gone......funny I've never had much of a behind I guess with my weight loss it shows more.

Well I'm on the other side of the 200's....... did I say that right...... Anyway I'm at 249 today....

I'm actually wondering if I should postpone my fill appointment on the 25th. I got stuck on Monday at lunch then yesterday morning I got really stuck threw up some of my Breakfast and spitup all the way to work (lucky I had an empty drink cup in the back) felt really bad most of the day. Today was mostly OK but at dinner I started a bit to fast and had to walk away for about 15 minutes then I was able to go back and finish eating. My next fill will be under floro so it would be intresting to see what's going on in there.

Rough week lots of overtime but I did lose put me down for 251. Around this weight is when I used to say OMG I'm getting fat need to lose weight.

That's AWESOME.......

Sweet hubby did you give him a big hug?:biggrin:

I love those too, I get a shot of espresso in it when I get one. I've ordered the Skinny Latte the last couple times. This was arough weekend I hope it doesn't reflect in the scale.

You are doing nothing wrong!!!!! Our expected loss is .5 to 1 pound a week more than that is gravy...mmmm gravy with biscuts...ooops sorry "SQUIRREL!". Seriously though if not all most of us have been able to lose several pounds quickly but we didn't stick with it. I have to keep reminding my self that I'm the tortise(sp) in this race. Losing several pounds between weigh ins is great but the band will help me stick to a program for longer than a few weeks or months but longterm. Follow the rules as best as you can try to get exercise and when you look back in a year you can say I lost.

I'm at 253 today 7/31. I still good restriction from my fill but sometimes getting the munchies. I need to get back to at least walking and try to go beyond that to get some muscle building in also. WOW August 1 tomorrow did July gone fast or what?

That is a good NSV congratulations.

It's been way to long since we posted in this thread. Today I was on another floor for a meeting and stopped by to say hi to the part of our group that work down there. ONe of the supervisors came up to me and told me my pants were getting baggy. I quickly appoligized, she laughed and said that she was complimenting me.... After lunch today I a person from the department next to us came over and commented on how much she thought my face has thinned. :thumbup:

Glad to see you back kaner need you here to keep me motivated.

I glad to report a 1lb loss I'm at 255 this week and feeling some restriction. I went back on solid food Wednesday night, I've been on liquids due to recent fill, yesterdays lunch stayed with me till about 8pm. Next fill under fluro on 8/25 anyone had a fill this way?
