How about Special K...Myself I eat the low sugar oatmeal. If you like oatmeal it is not bad.

Elfie, We have all done it, It seems when we are stressed, food is are life line. I do believe that is why most of us our over weight. I know I have been thur a mess of stuff, and yep you guessed it I eat! But like everyone saids tomorrow is a new day! Good luck! I love your posts..... Sandi

No Problem here! I love to read everyones opinion, and that is exactly what they are opinions! Sandi

I had surgery On April 22, 2009 and have lost 44 pounds. Of course I wish it was more, but just think how much you are down from a year ago. I had a fill on Friday up to 4.2cc's, the doctor said I was right on schedule. (average wieght loss on band in a year is 52 pounds, so just think what you have done)! About a pound a week. Everyday is a challenge, but I knew that going in. I never did eat just a cup of food.........I try to cut my portions down, I figure when the weight lost is complete, I want to know how to eat like a normal person. I excercise 1/2 hour a day, weather it be walking lifting weights, stairmaster.......I do something. Good luck on your journey! Sandi

Hi Every one, 2 more pounds!! WOOHOO!! 6 pounds down 14 to go... I am going to bust butt this week, have had company and been letting my exercising go........not this week! I might not make 20, but I am hoping to get close. Thanks Jen again. Sandi

Good for you! Congrats!

I had to be completely unfilled also. My problem was I got a fill and for 4 days could not eat everything came up. They found that a piece of spinach had gotten stuck in my pouch, making its own pouch. I was unfilled for 6 weeks, but I did manage to loss 3 pounds. Refilled to 4cc's lost 7 more pounds in 6 weeks. slow going, but at least it is coming off. Good luck!

Congrats!!!

Good Morning, Not so good this week.............zero pounds lost, but that is my fault, did not be a good girl over Thanksgving. Just glad I did not gain. So 4 lost 16 to go. Got to reviv it up this week. Everyone have a great week:smile2:

I wish I knew.... I have the same problem. anyone?

Some have gone to friends, some to goodwill......down 2 sizes.................feels good huh! I have been fitting into clothes I have had in my closet from sizes 6 to 18 now in 14 or 12. I get rid of everything, do not want to see those big things in my closet ever again!!!

I am so glad that everyone did so well, because I sucked! I ate everything in site. Actually up until Thanksgiving I was really good, but Thursday and Friday I ate everything and a lot of it. (not yet at sweet spot and 7 months out). So I now vow to get back on track!!! I was a bad girrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrl!:Yawn:

Good morning Jen and everyone, Lost 3 pounds this week Woohoo! total 4 - 16 to go! Now I have to get thur this week and fight that stuffing:lol:. Sandi Thanks Jen for all the hard work you are putting into this!

This is why insurance is so crazy!!!

My total bill was $34,750.00 I paid $150.00. Wow big difference in prices!!!

Way to go everyone!!!!! We are all going to look so good in our new Christmas outfits!! Sandi

Hi, I have told every one and any one. I figure if I was willing to go thru this surgery to get healthy, then they can know. Believe it or not I have had not one negative comment. Most people really do not understand, until I explain,then it is good for you. Also all my life I was thin 120 -130 5 ft 5 around 10 years ago I had a rough patch in my life and health gained over 80 pounds....so I have been on both sides of the coin and most people know that, so maybe that makes a different.

Hi Jen, Got weighted today.......out all day tomorrow. Wanted to do so I did not forget! 1 pound down........hopefully more next week! Sandi

Is that the one they use on the Biggest Loser?

Is that like that one they wear on the biggest loser?

Nice Job Jen.........Should we do weigh -ins on a certain day so it is easier for you to keep track??? Sandi

I am in.......very slow loser, but I am going to push for 20!! Will need lots of help!!! Not only the holidays, but leaving for cruise on Jan 24!!! Want to wear a bathoing suit and feel good. Surgery April 22, 2009

Thank you....but my doctor will only see me every 6 to 8 weeks.........I just got a fill 2 weeks ago. Am do for another Nov 27. When I am at the doctors office, they make me do the water thing usually they have to take some out, but when I get home it seems like I can eat everything, so who knows!!!

Congrats..I have 4 pounds to go!!!

Oh well, at least I have lost 33......but everyone including me is waiting for the big lost!!!!! I have never heard of anyone not getting a fill.
