17 lbs!? That's awesome, congrats! I try to make it to the gym for cardio at least 6 times a week but that doesn't always happen. When I do go, I usually walk/run on the treadmill or do the eliptical. I've had three fills and have had no complications whatsoever! It's the best thing I've ever done for myself!

What food causes you to PB or get blocked?

For me, hard taco shells are a no go! So far I've been able to eat any type of meat including steak and chicken...well chewed of course! :willy_nilly: -
I love my sports bras by Bali. They are wonderful! :willy_nilly:

These pictures were taken both before and after my Realize band surgery on August 18th, 2009. In not quite 17 weeks, I have lost 78.3 lbs. My weight on surgery day was 267.3 and I currently weigh 189lbs. My goal weight is 130 lbs. so I still have 59 lbs. to go!

Thank you! Congratulations to you on your approaching surgery date! It's the best thing I've ever done for myself and I'm sure it will be for you too! :tongue2: Let us know how it goes!

Today is an exciting day for me! I stepped on the scale this morning and it said...199.6!!! I can't remember the last time the number on the scale started with a 1! It is truly a great feeling! I had surgery on August 18th, 2009 and weighed 267.3 that morning. Today is exactly 14 weeks since my surgery and I'm down 67.7 lbs. I have so much to be THANKFULL for!! :thumbup:

My belly makes funny noises all the time! It's especially embarrassing when I'm sitting in nursing classes taking an exam and everyone can hear!! :confused:

I have never heard of this before. I am also flying this coming Saturday from Ohio to Colorado. I'm anxious to see the replies!

That's exciting! Congratulations -
Right now I seem to be satisfied with the 1/2 cup serving sizes. When I say 1/2 cup, I mean 4 oz. of food total. For example, for dinner I might do 2 oz. of filet mignon and 2 oz. of cooked broccoli. Sometimes I forget to eat, or wait too long to eat since I'm not hungry. I could easily skip meals, but I don't because my surgeon would beat me!! :thumbup:

100 pounds down! Never going back again!
