Update for me........My weigh in today is 150!!! A total loss of 121 lbs!. I started in a womans size 24 and now wear a size 8 !! I haven't felt this good about myself since high school!!!

I've been using the RVL Meal Replacement Shakes from Mona Vie along with a supplement capsule and a protein bar. I drink a shake in the morning with a capsule. It fills me up and gives me energy. I usually stay full till 12-1, then I have a sensible lunch. Sometimes I get a little hungry in the afternoon so I'll eat a half of a protein bar. Then for dinner I usually drink another shake and take a capsule and I'm pretty well done for the day. Sometimes I'll eat a healthy dinner, just depends on my schedule and how I feel. Since I started these shakes about a month and a half ago I've dropped 25 lbs, my hair isn't falling out anymore and I feel great!! Overall since LapBand I'm down 100 lbs.

I've lost right at 100 lbs!! And I feel awesome!!! Got about 40 to goal! My current weight below is incorrect, I'm currently 185.

Your threads are very profound. I appreciate your candid honesty, truly I do. Since joining this site in June 2009 I have lost 70 lbs and gone down from a womens size 24 to a misses size 16. While I feel great I still have another 40 or so pounds to reach goal. But the attention has already started and I can feel myself getting scared. It's like my weight is my hiding place and as it strips away I'm feeling very exposed. Emotionally I'm starting to "trip" if you will. I'm glad to know that this can be normal for some people. Thank you for your inspirations. And I'm sorry for your emotional anguish, I'll keep you in my thoughts. ~Tracy

So i went to the Dr. today for what would have been my second fill. But....I found out that my port has flipped :biggrin:. So needless to say, I left without a fill. Now I have been fully educated and I new ths was possible complication but as anyone would I had hoped it wouldn't happen to me. And I've been on such a roll and so focused to make this a success that it has kinda put me in a down mood. I am waiting for pre-approval to go back in and re-secure my port. And it's back to surgery....at least it is minor. I'm trying to count my blessings, I know it could be worse. In the meantime, I'm going to stay focused, steer the course and face what I have to face!! I'm still bound and determined to make his journey a success!! I just had to get that out there!! Best wishes to all you wonderful people!!
