I'm also thinking I might get a little fill. I have weighed 166 pounds since September. And even though I look great and everyone says I look good, I want to lose a little more. Glad everyone is doing good.

Definatly do the Monday option. I have had several fills and I am just fine right after. No big deal. But on a Friday, if you have problems then you are in trouble. Yes, choose the Monday.

Sounds a little tight, but if you can get in your nutrients and plenty of water you may be okay. When you lose some more weight, your band will probably lossen up some. Mine does. If you lose a few more pounds and it lossens you will be at the right spot. I do not know what that magic number of lost poundage would be. I'm positive that it would be different for everyone. If it does not loosen any and you are miserable, then go get a little taken out.

You just might need a little more of a fill. Since you can eat and gulp, a little more fill would probably help you. Good Luck. Remember to sip and and take small bites slowly.

Hey Debbie, so sorry about your loss, our house burned when I was in Jr. High, it is something you never forget. I feel for you and I'm glad you have such a great support system. God Bless You. Glad everyone else is doing great.

Angel, that is great news. I wish you nothing but the best. And don't ever give up, you can do it and it is soooo worth it. Keep up the good work and positive attitude and make it happen for you! Hope everyone had a good Christmas and wishing everyone a Happy New Year.

Just wanting to wish everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Oh, thanks everyone! That was sweet! Not easy with small kids but somehow I managed, I don't know how. Allie, what great friends and family you really are blessed. We are all blessed aren't we? Happy Holiday's everyone!! Love Lucy

Apples, Lori, great picture. Allie, so glad you are doing great that is awesome!! Hope all is well with everyone. I have been busy, I will graduate in a couple of weeks with my Masters Degree, I am so excited!! lucy

Hey, Good luck Angel. You can do it!!

Hey teach, sorry you have had to go through all that mess and stress. That is so unfair to his patients. I wish you luck. Apples, you do look great. I have the very same oven. My mom, dad, has the same one but only in the gas version. I would much rather have a gas oven, but it is not an option in my house.

Oh I am glad your knee is better. You must not have had total knee replacement? Glad all is well.

Hey everyone, Quick update. Things are going well with weight loss. I weigh 166 so I have lost 74 pounds. I look and feel great. Well except for today, I came home with a nasty stomach bug. Work and grad school is good. Busy with my Stat's class, it is so hard!!! Anyway life is good. Love yall Lucy

Hey Hunzi, Hopefully this last fill will kick in for you. Keep up the exercise, yay! You can do this, it is so worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lucy

Hey everyone. I just wanted to say HI. I have been really good, just busy with life and family. Seems like the older my girls get, the more things we have to do. My oldest started kindergarten and I am finishing my Masters. Should be done in May if I can make it through my statistics class. It is is killing me. Weight loss is good, and I am very happy. Hope all is well with everyone. love lucy

Hey, my new fill is great! I'm loving it. Long, I hope you can get a partner who will stick with you. I know it can make all the difference in the world. I just have the Dave Ramsey book and then downloaded forms and other resources off his website. Have a good weekend everyone. lucy

Oh, I love DAVE RAMSEY!!! I have his book and we even went to see him in Oklahoma City a year or so ago. DH drove us in an ice storm 6 hours one way. No, it not expensive, you could probalby find his book at the library. I even like to listen to his pod cast on his web site. Well, my new fill is great. I woke up with a new excitement this morning. I'm so glad I went and done it. lucy

Hey girls! Everyone seems to be doing great. Jennifer, girl you look great in that blue dress. Good luck with the pampered chef, 10 parties a month, wow, that's alot but I bet you can do it. I did 5 parties one month and my commission check was a little over $600. I was happy. I have not been a happy lap-bandster (is that the proper term?) as of lately. I should have never went and got an un-fill. I just THOUGHT I wanted an un-fill. I am going to go and get some put back in. Anyway....I hope to be back in the losing game really soon. God Bless You All, Lucy

Hey thanks for posting the chart. I needed a good look at that. I found myslelf to tight about 3 weeks ago and finally decided to go and have some taken out. I felt much better and could drink plenty of Water, yea!!! But now I can see myself in the yellow zone. I am a lot hungrier and eat way to much at one setting. This has me terribly concerned. But I am a little embaressed to go back to the doctor because i was just there a couple of weeks ago getting some taken out, now do I go back and get some put back in? I feel like a druggie chasing that perfect sweet spot. I had it once after my third fill but it has been long gone, kind of like a druggie chasing that frist high they often speak of, lol.....but not really funny :confused:

Hey girls, Glad everyone is doing well. We are having a busy summer. I'm sure you all remembe what it is like to have small children and always on the go. I am just thankful that I can be on the go! Hey Long, glad you got over the sick feeling. Hope the dinners with your sis's went well. Lucy

Well okay, I went in for a slight unfill today. My first unfill. I have been bp'ing a lot and having trouble drinking water since my last fill about 3 weeks ago. I kept hoping my fill would lossen up but no such luck. So this was my first unfill. I have a theory that I have not lost much weight in the last month because my metabolism is messed up and body is holding on to all the fat it can. I have been exercising, but drinking very little water. So hopefull now I can get in more water and eat better with solid protein and such. After he took the fill out, I drank a lot of water and oh my gosh it felt so good to be able to drink instead of sip, sip, sip. Before, I would sip and gurgle, sip and gurgle. So wish me luck. I still have restriction, so not all is lost. Have a good evening. Lucy

Hey Long, congrats on the the 170s. My goal is to now get out of the 170's. I weigh 176. My new job is so sedintary it is not even funny. It really worries me. I can work out for 30 min on my lunch and of course I still do my morning routine Hey Allie, that all sounds so exciting and yes I'll get some new pictures. I'm just so lazy about that stuff. I must ask, do you really need implants:blush::tongue:? You are not lacking in that area at all, lol. lucy

Hey everyone, My new job is going good it is at an educational cooperative. Not physcal at all so that is not so good. They do have some exercise equipment so I went in today and did the elliptical for a good 20 min and got my heart rate up. Still doingrun/walk with my neighbor every other morning. When I went shopping for my new job I bough size XL and I really should have bought a large. The XL is too big, but I too have trouble buying the right size. Things are going good. Tomorrow is my weigh-in so we'll see how things are going. Have fun and all the trips and such. Lucy

Congrats on the bike!! That is awesome, 45 min is a great workout, good for you.

Hey everyone, I just got lucky and was passed over by some very bad weather and tornados. Allie, good find on the clothes....you are so lucky! Long, I bet your mini session at the surgery center really made you feel good, you deserve the positive attention. I know the last time I went in for a fill, it seemed like everyone in the waiting room was looking me, because I was looking pretty good :thumbup: I went an did my run walk this morining, and now my 14's are getting baggy :thumbup: :confused: Glad everyone is doing good!!!!!!!!!!! love ya all, lucy
