Welcome Rangergirl...Good luck in your journey..my challenge last nite was everyone in my house was eating pizza and I had fish with steamed veggies :thumbup:

Hello All..I am 16lbs lighter since 1.28.09..I have cravings for cookies..but I have to eat sugar free chocolate pudding to satisfy the sweet tooth I have..I miss eating breads..sandwiches and cereal..omg I love cinnamon toast crunch..I didnt realize how much sugar was in that cereal til now..foods are tasting different to me now.I had a fill yesterday and I felt the tightness this morning ...good luck to all on ur journey!

I usually wait 24 hours before i go back to protein shakes since I have an PPO PLAN and i have to pay $20 for the office visit and $15 coinsurance for the fill under xray..thank God my visits/fills are every 3 to 4 weeks

Keep the faith..I am down 16lbs since 1.28.09..i dont eat breads pasta cereal..i am sticking to the diet..i do honestly have to drink more fluids..its hard at times because i work in a place where going to the bathroom isnt always an option LOL

I hate those lidocaine needles right before the fill..I had a fill yesterday and OMG this morning I could feel it..I couldnt believe it...I am down 16 lbs from 1.28.2009..

your welcome!

I lost 16 lbs since my last weigh in @ the doctors office on Feb 9.2009..I am soooo happy I am seeing my weight and BMI going down..I got another .50 cc put in the band today..I am excited!! I just wanted to share with everyone..

Welcome ! Good luck!

Good luck sweetie in your journey..Let me know if have questions..I am here to help :w00t:

I personally wouldnt want a unfill because chances are it will mess up the weight loss..if u losing weight then try eating slower and chew ur food well..little portions and dont drink and eat.not a good combo!

Hello....Sounds like you need a little taken out because you are supposed to not have slime and feel like u cant drink..your gonna have problems if u dont get that fixed..

I have 6.5 cc in my band..i am getting another adjustment tommorow!

Hello..what are u eating because that doesnt sound right?

Thank you will check into the magazine..*dlmyvette* I have been eating high protein no carbs..no fast food no bread..just fish..chicked tuna chicken salad..water non fat milk and yogurts..ive been experiementing with veggies and fruits..i am so used to the taste of sweet and greasy but it will take time..i go walking alot and i joined Curves back in October 2008..I have to remember that i didnt put this weight on overnite so I have to be patient. I have to tell myself that if i take it one day at a time i will be ok..and so will all of you..!!!

I am sorry to hear this..wow..i have bcbs insurance and i only had to lose 10lbs..i didnt even have to have a sleep study..wow..soooo sorry...best of luck!!!

Hello..I myself had to attend a seminar,go to my pcp for all the blood work ups and whatnots..then a phych visit (mental health eval),consult with the surgeon..i had to lose 10 lbs for the insurance company..then here I am..Banded :tt1:

Congratulations!!!!

Good luck with everything....I am in this with you..i wanna be a skinny mini LOL
