OMG'sh I tried one of those bullets you told me about - GAG! I don't know how you do them, maybe theres some with a better flavor I can try.... search is on!

When were you banded & where do you live?

woohooo, I did move the scale 0.8 this week. Of course you know I cant' tell any weight has moved, dropped, etc. BUT my husband this morning as I getting ready for work advised me that I need to get a new Bra (I know TMI:blushing:)! Go figure, as much support as he gives me, and he tells me this.

I finally got my gloves for kickboxing :boxing_smiley:last night & that pumped me up, I was jumping around the room like a Mexican jumping bean, especially when the "ROCKY" song came on, (or just in that Goofy mood) OH yeah it was on, of course I embarrassed my 13 year old, & I'm sure I was the talk of Sheriff department today. (That?s where my husband works, & the instructor / owner works w/ him) so the whole class is full of his co-workers law enforcement! BUT they all give me support, a lot - & that does feel good.

I'm north of Memphis about 50miles. YES, this is band hell, if I havn't gone off on the doctor once, its been twice! I told them I did'nt sign up for this. But I am scheduled for another fill on the 19th, and then on the 5th of March. How much are you down?

I do get enough I think, I'm drinking 100% whey from Bariatriceating.com twice a day, but I might not be getting enough calories, a total day is about 800? Not sure, I've got another fill scheduled for the 19th but something has to give, I got to get back into the bathing suit for the summer, and start racing my horses again!

It's coming, slowly I think - I'm doing cardio kickboxing four times a week now, and the gym the other three, but I swear it not moving! I know it takes time, but ghee, when I'm working this hard at it, it should come easy right! You look great, I love your profile photo, its nice. K.I.T.

I'm in Tipton County, on the edge of the river. I'm so with you on the feeling, I can't tell anything, thats why I posted a thread what are suppose to feel like when you have a fill? of course no response yet. But I emailed the MD and advised him of this and went off about the fact that this is so far like any other diet so whats the difference and he has not responsed back yet, so I'm going to try to make another appt to more in there and see if that helps.

My biggest thing, I'm getting hungry between meals and thats whats so hard, not to grab something and snack on it. Granted I have been good, but it's taken alot more will power on that than I expected.

Where in TN are you? My fill was extremly easy, a lot easy than I thought it was going to be, but I can't tell any difference, of course I'm not sure how or what I'm suppose to feel like, this whole course I've been perfectly fine, so I don't know if I'm suppose to get fuller faster, stay fuller longer, eat less, what the feeling is? And a weird thing, he (the doctor) told me if I need to come back next week, if not he would see me in a month? Whats up with that?

How was you first fill? and how are you doing with the band?

My mom has the bypass, she got it about 20 + years ago, & I have watched her struggle with eating & sitting in the hospital for things that get stuck, she has a lot of complications with her bypass, but then again my stepmother had it done 4 years ago, & she is doing great. So I guess its up to how we treat it. I understand it took awhile to put it on, BUT I thought the first month would have been easier.

Keep in touch - I wish you luck!!!!
