had a great week....need to change my goal now yea!

ok its time to get these weigh in started again regularly we are all coming up on our 1 year band dates cw-257 not sure what my last WI was but it was higher than this

older thread but the info was great

congrats!!!! keep it up

just curious....for those that are at their sweet spot or good restriction how long does it take you to drink 16oz of Water

thank you all for responding...im a little on the fence on whether im too tight or not b/c i had a recent fill so im giving it a few days to see how the swelling does. i was real cautious with my Water amount b/c i was told sip dont gulp so i was only taking small sips. i guess i should have asked about how much a normal sip really was. i did finish 16oz in an hour today with no probs so far. thanks again everyone, the info was a big help

i understand that, its hard for me to meet 64oz and i just got a fill on tuesday so im trying really hard to get it all in. it took me 2hrs to drink my first bottle of Water and now im on my second. i dont want to drink too fast or too much. i think before i wasn't taking in enough with my sips so i have made the amount i take in a little larger per drink. i just want an average of what others are doing, guess i should have created a poll

i ordered the Believe protein from bariatriceating.com, i have not tried Inspire, will do that next

breaking up with your scale....too funny i weigh every morning. if i skip a day thats a good thing. im way to focused on that number.

im having small frequent burps. last night i had to sleep in my recliner and that has never happened after a fill. the burps would last at least 3 days but it never interrupted my sleep. i will def call the doc ofc tomorrow.

glad you are feeling better with the unfill for those of you who were too tight did you have any pain? i have no pain just the constant burping. its after hours now but i will be calling in the AM tomorrow. in the meantime i just wanted to see how those who were too tight felt.

i just got a fill yesterday and i feel the gurgling, constant burping...i too am hoping its just the swell after a fill. i really want good restriction but not in a bad way. if its not better by thursday i will be going in on friday to get some out as well.

never tried it but my gym just started offering so im going tomorrow. i will post after im done.

i totally agree, i just wish we were as chatty as we were pre-band. it really made going into sugery alot easier to have that extra support. i got another fill yesterday and im hoping it just the swelling that is causing the extra burps etc. i really want to hit my goal, i think that will be just what i need to keep pushing to being under 200lbs.

i was very scared to get my first fill and im not a baby when it comes to needles. as all the other posters said it was not bad at all. as of yesterday im on fill #5.

hey i posted on the july board but it is a little slow over there so i will post here too. start weight -345 bandiversary goal- 245 about 10 weeks left before my bandiversary so im going to try to hit it. good luck

hey lisa (and all who view) i, like you, had started snacking like crazy, i mean serious snacking, all sliders too. my goal was always to lose 100lbs by my bandivesary. that is still my goal. i have about 10 weeks left so i think thats more than enough time to hit 245. this is a good thread too. we can see how many people hit their first year goals just like we all did the countdown on surgery dates.

i would like to join in too. i would like to lose 13bs by the july 4th.

reach 100lbs lost...i feel like its getting harder. im trying not to settle for what i have lost so far.

hi still 262 this week, guess i enjoyed myself too much on mothers day. good luck everyone

hi july banders just felt we needed another check in type thread. if 100lbs is too high for you right now then how close are you to 50lbs lost, 75lbs lost. im 40lbs from 100lbs lost. i've decided to up my workouts by an hour. i'd really like to hit it by the end of Feb. i know thats agressive but it helps to keep me focused. any pounds lost is a gain to me.

hi leigha i tried adding myself to the spreadsheet but was unable to type anything in it

congrats shelly & hot tea im 17 pounds away from 100 lost, im hoping to reach that by my band date. my goal for may is 7 pounds, im being more realistic than my former months. i use to set goals of 15-20 pounds a months. what was i thinking????? good luck to you all

hi all i am down 83lbs, i was banded on 7/23. im happy with the loss so far but i know it would be alot better if i was more firm on myself. i exercise great but i do eat 'bad" things more often than i should. i set a goal for myself to lose 100lbs my 1st year & i still think i will meet that. i think its great that some of you have already lost 100lbs. i can't wait to join the club.

i just started buying the Believe protein drinks...i really like them so i plan to drink 1 when i know im low
