You are doing great!:biggrin: You can do it. Just I can. I will keep the eye on the prize.

I do listen to music when I excerise so I won't watch the time. It is just hard when your legs gets very tired.:biggrin:

I am so sorry you had problems with bread. I feel for you and I know you must have been really scared, for I know I would have been. I hope to be able to continue to eat toast after my next fill. Thanks and good luck to you too...I am trying really hard to make this work. Just like everyone else. How are you doing now.

I know what you are talking about. I thought I would just die after a 5 minute work out on this machine. I am proud to say I am now up to 10 minutes as of day. I hope to make my 30 minutes by the end of the month but I just don't know if I can it. This is harder than I thought. :laugh: So how are you guys coming on your challenges?

I wish I was still losing. I am stuck around the 226 mark. I can't break the 225 mark at all. I know I need a fill again. I won't be getting the fill until March 17th for my second fill.

I think at this time of our journy we are our weight is going up and down. I know mine is. I go down two and up one or two and then back down. I have been doing this for two weeks. I know I need a fill for I don't have much of restruction at all. And for the oops from time to time, we are going to have them. Just watch how many you have. If someone, ask you to take a piece of cake, I would take it but not eat it in front of them. Take it somewhere else like your office, wrape it up and take it home for someone else. Of course this if you can.....Just keep your eyes on the prise.....You can do it. And I am saying this for myself as well.

Great! I am so glad that I have two people on this challenge with me. :party: Good luck to everyone.

Great you are on.....:party: I am only up to 5 mins at this time. I will keep you updated each week or if I increase.

Ok here is my short time goals. 1. To be a size 16 teen by June 1st. for my daughter wedding on June 6th. 2. To also enjoy clothing shopping for new clothes in regular stores. 3. To be a size 14 or 12 by Oct. 1st.

Today was my first day of my challenge. I did only 5.15 mins on this elipical workout. If I keep increasing this very two days I just might make my challenge goal. Still there is no one else would like to make a challenge for them self?

I know what you are saying about your closet is getting dnaeroulsy empty for my closet is as well. I to went down two sizes and after this size I would need to go shopping for new clothes for work too. I can't wait. :party:

Yes I was allowed to eat and drink before the fill. Afterwards I did not want anything. That was a great feeling. Right after my fill for the first week I could only eat about 1/2 cup but now I can eat just a little more. I know I need another fill. I eat more and no restruction at this time. I can't wait for that sweet spot that everyone talks about. :wink:

seven weeks and I am enjoying this band. I just wish I have done it sooner.

How much have you losted from the time you had your surgery until now? You are doing so well. I wish I was.

I only got 1cc in my 10cc band. You were very lucky to get so much. I go in two weeks for more. I hope that my doctor will give me more next time for I still don't have any restruction at all.

My port doesn't look like that at all neither. I am so sorry for you. Also Carolina Mom I am sorry for you extra problem. I am so glad that you are better.

I am so happy for you with your 42 lbs losted. As long as you are still dropping the weight the doctors won't give you a fill. That is a good thing. You have great rescreation (sp?) and I am doing the happy dance for you.

How much did you take for your fill? I am doing great! No problems here. The doctor put in 1 cc into my 10 cc band. I am not getting hugery until it is closer to time to eat my meals. I am eating about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of food now. We will see how long this last before eating more. You are so right it is like the first two weeks again. I love this.....:mad2: don't you...

I was told tonight by my doctor to make sure you are eating around 1000 cals per day and change around your excerise program. This will also help move the scale downward. Also you will hit this pleateu about one to two weeks beofre your are due your fill. After the fill (I heard) that is when the real movement begins. I looked at workingmoms post and it sames to be true. I will let you know if my scale moves more in a few days.

Just hang in there:thumbup:. You will be here soon. We are going to get that onederland very soon. I promise.:tt2: Yes I was silly about this fill but I got through it with no problems. It really did not hurt....I was so surprise.:tt2:

Yes I got my fill tonight. I was like you about the increase of food. My fill did not hurt at all. It was just a little prick and that was it. No pain at all. No cameras neither. I am so happy I got this, for I really needed. The scale stopped at samed to me, food increase. So I am hoping this will move it even more. GlenStand, now that is has been a few days after your fill, how are you doing?:tt2:

I am six week out now. Yes, you will still lose little after you are on solids but it will be slow for some. I lost about 30 lbs so far. I had my first fill tonight and no problems. I also hit a pleatu but this fill should (according to the doctor) move the scale again. At the first through the three week I would eat about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of food per meal. Then for the following weeks it went up to 1 to 2 cups per meal. I knew I needed a fill. Also Kristilaw I gotta ask you are you keeping a jounral with the count of Proteins, Carbs, Cals and Fats. I was told to watch them. When I did the scale did move two lbs. That help the pleatu. Oh yea, don't forget to excerise and keep changing it around. This helps the body guessing.

Ok! I got my first fill tonight. It did not hurt at all. I think I have a little restruction but really don't know as of yet. I am only allow liquids for tonight. Tomorrow I move on to soft foods and by Saturday is the real test because I will be back on all foods again. I am right on with my weight for my lost of 30 lbs. Which I need to change my tacker. I will change it real soon. I am so happy, I got my fill for I was eating more than I should have been. Maybe now the scale will move again. We will see.

I am so happy for you Working Mom that you got your first fill. I am still waiting for mine. I was going to get my first fill today but the insurance company did not get the approval to my doctors office in time before my appointment. Now I have to wait until next week. I hope I get it soon. I would like the scale to move again anytime would be nice. hehehehehe.

I to am stuck after lossing about 30lbs. I have tried changing my excerise program and food intake. We gotta keep doing what we are doing and the scale will move again. I am keeping postive thinking here. I guess we are all in the same boat.
