Well I'm downt 136# 5-19-09. Finally seeing the numbers drop. GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF US!!! try not to gain on this holiday weekend :wink2:.

I use a nurse in her home and have had no problems. She uses all clean, new, sterilized stuff. She only charges $100 and I am comfortable with her. Although the trips to Mexico with new friends does sound like a lot of FUN!! Randy where are you located?

Hey lotsofbirds are you not banded yet? Friday afternoons are fine with me. not available on the 8th but otherwise it would be great. McDowell and 99th? or wich location? What time?

Just trying to fix my ticker.

Hi all! I'm down to 145! Go me!! It hasnt been easy but its nice changing pant sizes. :thumbup:

Hey Chef girl I live in Gila Bend. not too far from you. I went swimming yesterday :smile: for the 1st time this year! it was nice and cold. I like to do my exercises in the pool. I'm like a fish in the summer time. Keep up the good work. Debi

Well I thought i would miss soda but I dont. when I do i keep a can around that i let sit out till it goes flat then i drink it!! yuck i know but it takes care of the craving:smile:. I find that i can eat popcorn with not a problem THANK GOD I dont know if I could survive without popcorn!! I'm down to 150 now finally. I think I will set a goal for May to be at 145.

I must have done something wrong. Mine wont work. It doesnt do anything when I click on it.

I had mine in Cancun mexico and was well pleased with everything. It only cost $500 more to gp to Cancun. I chose there because my family was afraid of all thats going on in Mexico. My surg. was 12-12-2008.

Good luck with your surgery. I live in Gila Bend but go to Avondale all the time. I own a home and 2 of my kids live there. I would love to get together with other west valley poeple. I dont get much support at home and could use all the encouragement I can get! My hubby is tall and skinny and I'm short and plump! soon to be skinny:tongue_smilie:. I work till 1:30 and it takes about an hour to get to avondale. I have fridays off and could do breakfast or lunch that day. Feel free to contact me. Debi

How do I change my ticker tape? Ineed to update it. THANKS!:tt1:

I was not very big either and for health reasons had the surg. (in MEXICO). yes I paid for it myself. I WOULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN. I believe in preventive medicine. I can give you a referral if you want. I went to Cancun for mine. It was a wonderful experience and the area was gorgous. Dont listen to the others that cut any of you-us. They dont understand that it affects everyone differently and i noticed that alot of us arent very tall. If I was 5'3" at 153# it might not look as bad as it does at 4'11". Good luck to all and God bless you too!:glare:

AWWWWsome updates!! congrats to all of you. Florida Pete you almost look like a different person. I still havent lost anymore. I go Wed for my next fill. hopefully it will help. I didnt really get any diet info. from the doc. and i have troubles with exercise. I need to buy a weight set or something. love to all, Debi

Ok so I guess I need to buy a weight bench or something. I've been using my gazelle but it doesnt seem to be doing it. I live in a town that is too small (no signals yet)!! we dont have much in town and its to far to go into town. I cant walk much because of health issues. I just put my pool up so I will start to swim soon. That should help. I had some of my fill removed and that helped. I can eat again but havnt lost any weight since......

Ok ticker tape test!!

ticker tape test.

OK HELP!!:confused: what did I do wrong??????

this is a test. for ticker tape.

OK so am I the only one not losing weight? I am down to 153# but I started at 166.

ok so how do i get the ticker tape put on?

Well I finally lost some.... a total of 10 lbs. since surg. not much but better than nothing :cursing:

Hi everyone! Well, I had my 2nd fill two weeks ago and have lost 4 lbs. I'm up to 3.5cc. I asked her to fill me up and she did!:cursing: I drink 2 protien drinks a day and some string cheese. occassionally I can get down yogurt and a snack bar or fruit. I try to eat more but it doesnt go down very good:frown:. Is it possible to not eat enough? or should I be satisfied with where Im at? I have lost only 10 lbs since the 12-12-2008 surgery date. any input?
