LOL, I'm a nurse too and I know better too, but that doesn't stop me. My pouch is ok I had it checked for slippage last year. My esophagus is slightly dilated, but other wise I'm good. I rarely drink the soda anymore and it doesn't rase as good as it use to. I love my Mio tea and water. It has the good sweetener in it, so I am trying to be good.

I have been addicted to diet soda for years. For a while it is all I would drink. I have finally kicked the habit and I now drink water flavored with Mio sweet tea I find it very refreshing. My question is this: I have been told over and over, "Stop drinking soda and you will lose more weight!" So I did and I rarely drink soda. I think it has been over a week since I even had 1/2 a can. I'm wondering when I am going to see this weight loss people keep telling me i'll see when I ditch the soda and drank more water. Thanks for your input :-)

I agree as well. Even though stress really jump started it, it has stayed off and is still coming off slowly.

I'm really starting to think its possible

I'm excited and nervous. My BMI is down to 28.91 or something like that. I am losing slowly and only fluctuating a couple of lbs. I am able to do things now that I couldn't do when I was heavy. I started at a size 18-20 and am now a size 10. Someday I will be a size 6 :-) I started at 206lbs and my goal is to be 120 lbs.

Thank you. I know I have lost but I can't say that its been the way that it was intended, but I want to hit my goal weight. I am tumbling again and some day I will perform as an all star cheerleader. I would love to perform as a flier, not because I have always wanted to be a flier but because they can put me up, lol. I have always wanted to perform as an allstar cheerleader as well, I know I am getting older but I WILL be an allstar cheerleader for at least 1 season. being back on the board might help me stay on track.

Thank you, I will try to post often. I know I could use support, I just don't know how much support I can be since I'm not so good when it comes to food.

I've been gone a while. I have been discouraged because I wasn't losing and apparently my doc gave me a 10cc band but told me that I had a 4 cc band. I was filled under floroscopy a couple of years ago and haven't needed a fill since. I actually though that I would need a slight unfill cuz I was having such issues with everything I ate. I got through it and I am doing ok now. I also went through a spell where I wasn't eating too well, but I am on the right track and hopefully going in the right direction. They actually brought me in to make sure that my band didn't slip, it didn't and away I went. I am eating better and hoping for more loss soon. 8 days post op This was taken in August about 6 years and 5 months after surgery.

Good luck Crystal, you are in my thoughts!

Can I ask why there are 2 threads for this? Is this the updated thread? I noticed that my stats have been corrected. I'm in no matter where we post!!! My goal for this month is to hit at least 179. I want OUT of the 180's! Good luck everyone!

Hello everyone, I can't believe it is september already! As always I had a change on thursday. I dropped to 185 lbs. That puts me down 2 lbs from what it says on the first post. I don't care if it isn't updated until next week, I am just sayin'

I am one who gains during and loses it after, so there could be some truth to it.

Wow! I wonder if I will have to go over 4cc's to get restriction. I have had my 4th fill and am at 3.1 cc's and I think I am just about there. I am getting satisfied with less food. I am getting there.
