Yoda

Guffaw: big hearty laugh

Hmmm, I'll have to try that one; I'm sure it can be done!!!

OMIGAWD....I just noticed your ticker....WHEN did that happen? Did I miss it? BIG HUGE Congrats are in order!!! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: Well Done!!!!! I hope to be there wit ya soon!

I would definitely have .5 or 1 cc taken out. As for the 3rd fill .....you talk as if it is a "done deal" that you will have 3 (or more) fills....not sure why they booked you for a 3rd...your hubby is right...there is no need to go back for a fill unless you "need" one. You don't automatically go back for it....only if the need is there! It completely varies for everyone...some will not have a fill ever, others will have 1, others 2, others 3 or others more....it will be completely different for everyone.

Yasmina.....I hear ya. As bandiva suggested, I would do the soup thing or the salad thing that you mentioned and just say that with the cold your stomach is also acting up. You can mention to her that you were "sick" earlier in the day (ie. vomited) and so you are just trying to be careful and not upset your tummy.

Have a great time Bandiva!!! We will want to hear all about it when you get back. Plse don't forget to get up on the plane several times and walk around and do leg exercises while u are sitting!

Feb Goal: 1. Try to stop being so hard on myself 2. Get to 200 lbs (I'd like to say ONEderland but Feb is a short month!!! So I'll be happy with the scale saying 200 lbs!).

Angel Bear.....down meds....THE best NSV!! Way to go!!! You are doing AWESOME!!! Keep it up!

That is awesome; way to go!!

LOL Andrew...>Mr Yoda was reading over my shoulder and you just made him guffaw out loud!!! You're forgiven for the dog/baby suggestion!! LOL

Good idea but knowing Mr Yoda as I do, a dog (or a baby for that matter!) would be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay worse than spilling somethin' on the keyboard!!! hehe

abolutely not!!! noooooooooooooooo, not at all..... :rolleyes :heh:

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, tis sooooo difficult but I will refrain from making a comment.. .............mmmmmmmmmmmmmpppppppppph *puts hand over mouth*....

I still take benefibre (powder) every day in the morning in my drink....you get a good deal on it at Costco.

No worries Yasmina, they'll just eat take out over your belly while they're sewin' ya up!!! LOL

nah, I'll still do all - inclusives....who cares if I don't eat much!! I also don't drink alcohol (haven't in years) but it is still worth it to go to an all inclusive!

Astrotoes: yup, the wicked headaches will eventually subside as your body gets used to the no carb thing....think of it as a drug addict going thru withdrawal...that is truly what your body is experiencing....but it is easier knowing the "why" behind it...just stick with it and I promise it will get better. Also, the literal hunger pangs will eventually subside as well...they didn't go away for me but they do subside once your body realizes that it's whinin' ain't gonna get it any more food!! LOL. Now, I could be wrong, maybe they pangs don't really subside per say...but you sorta start to ignore it and forget about it, ya know? One thing I kept telling myself....everytime I felt a hunger pang/pain...I'd smile and think..."hahahahaha....my body is now burning fat cause it isn't gettin' fed"....that helped!!! Good luck all.

Yes, thank you for the insights Heather; so appreciated! Good question above....do you drink diet carbonated beverages? (I already know the answer for meeee on this one....just curious on yours). :mad:

hyuck hyuck!

very kewl indeedy! Well done! :clap2:

I agree with maria....does your buddy do a different type of work? And...*smacks you upside the head*...OF COURSE it is attainable....yes.... I mean, lookit you go!!!! I bet you thought 100lb lost would never be attainable and you are pretty much already there!!! Now, the loss might slow down and become more gradual...but that is OK!!! It may even be better with helping it to stay off and then maintaining....as long as you lose over the longterm you're laffin'!!!!! You WILL get there Mandi......absolutely!

I'm glad you said it Mandi, cause I was thinkin' it!!! Most people I see on here with the 4cc band start at a .5 cc fill and sometimes reach the sweet spot well before 2 ccs..... Bandiva, I hope all will be well....I'm going to assume because you didn't feel discomfort right away (ie. after the fill when you drank some water) that perhaps you will be fine.... *fingers crossed*

I loooooooooooooove Playa del Carmen....went in Nov 05....fun fun fun!!

OMIGAWD MANDI!!!! ONE MORE POUND and you are in the THREE (3) digits lost!!!!!! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

glad u had a fab time Khrissy...now your journey begins! BTW, that was also my starting weight!
