I just posted some pictures...WOW, I never realized until now the difference! I'm excited! Update on HG, I finally told him that we should go out. He's gone out with me and my friend Dalena a couple of times and it was fun. Not sure anything is going to progress. I'm just going to kick back and let what happens happen. I'm going to invite him to Jeff Dunham on Sunday. I will be spending the next three weeks in Columbia training all the new people we hired last week. It should be fun. I was so excited; our Area VP requested me personally. Pretty cool! Not much else today...

Babs44...Get up and get going. It really isn't bad once you start. My biggest piece of advice to you, is to find something that you enjoy doing so that it's not like you're working out. I for one enjoy going to the gym, can you say EYE CANDY! I get bored with the gym on occasion so I throw in yoga and zumba when I get the chance. It's fun and relaxing. If you don't set up a routine then at least start making a few changes such as parking as far away as possible, taking a 10 minute break to just walk or do some chair exercises while watching tv. You can do it! We're all here kicking your butt!

Awesome! Good luck, hope you do well.

Bills...the worst thing about life! Hope things go well for you

:thumbup::tongue::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: THE SCALE MOVED!! My scale has been stuck for the last four weeks, mainly because I've been eating out a lot with work functions. This last fill has finally given me what it takes to break the plateau, I've lost three pounds since Thursday. HAPPY DANCE HAPPY DANCE HAPPY DANCE!

WOW, I am so sorry you had to go through that. I have had a few "blocked" incidence and it HURTS! Take your time on the fills and get them when you are ready. Ask them to go slow on the fills. My doc is not very aggressive as he wants to give time to get used to the band. I have 5 ccs in a 9 cc band and just now feel as if I have restriction. I hope that you recover quickly. Keep us posted on how you're doing.

It does get a lot better. I was bruised for almost six weeks! If you watch the video on you tube of the surgery being done you will understand why! THEY ARE SO NOT GENTLE! I'm glad I didn't watch it until after my surgery! The head hunger is the worst. I had my fourth fill on Thursday and this is the first time that I haven't been head hungry. Mainly because I think I'm just a little too tight right now so I get stuck easily and food is just not that appealing anymore. I'm sure it will loosen up a little in a few days and I will be at my sweet spot. The best thing you can do for the soreness is to get up and move. Walk, walk, walk and walk some more and sleep in a recliner or propped up. Good luck to everyone! Keep us posted as to how you are doing!

Thanks! I think that this last fill is where I need to be to really start seeing even more of a change. I have been stuck at the 234 mark for the last month. Since my fill I have dropped to 232!! I definitely don't have the urge to over eat like I did before and I'm just not that hungry. Yesterday it was after 2 pm before I ate breakfast and that ended up being just one chicken nugget! AMAZING! I LOVE MY BAND!

I had my fourth band adjustment yesterday and I now know what restriction feels like. I'm SO EXCITED and a little nervous. It took me almost 30 minutes to eat about 2 oz of a grilled hamburger and 3 tablespoons of refried beans today for lunch and I was FULL!! I'm excited about that, portion size has always been my down fall and now I finally feel like I have that under control. I'm nervous because as I was eating, I could really tell it if I didn't chew well enough and had to wait several minutes before taking the next bite. I'm really nervous about eating around other people now, everyone eats so darned fast...what's up with that???? Do people actually taste what they are eating? As a bandster that is one thing that I have learned...taste your food.

I'm in this funk of a bad mood today. I'm just cranky and I've made terrible food choices all day and have paid for it all day by being stuck most of the day. My tummy hurts because I'm stupid!!! I know better than to try and eat pasta and bread but that of course is the comfort food that I crave when I'm in this mood. I need something to get me out of this funk...These days don't happen often but man when they do...YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
