Thank you Janet! I went to the doctor today. I had bad news and good news. Bad news is I am about 9 pounds off on my scales at home. I was so bummed that I have not lost as much as I thought I had?
Good news is my doctor was very happy with my progress. My BMI is 28 and he said I'm very close to being normal weight at 25. I got a fill today and this will put me at 3.6cm. I have had mono and strep and have not been able to excercise. I'm starting back next week. So I'm ready to hit it again! 
I went shopping today and it's a whole new world out there. No more plus size clothing ever again! Yea!! -
Happy Mothers Day to you too! :cursing:

Janet, Yes this happens to me all the time. I get a lot of anxiety eating infront of others. This only makes the problem more uncomfortable. I have not told but a few I have had this surgery. I'm sure they are wondering why I eat like I do? When I eat at home I am more comfortable and most times food seems to go down better.

United healthcare bandsters!!!!

I also have United Health Care. They approved me within three weeks. They have paid so well. I feel very blessed to have the insurance I do. I had a lot of health problems such as high blood pressure, pre-diabetic, high cholesterol, and foot problems. I was not what they called a 100lb overweight but with other health issues I didn't have a hard time getting approved for surgery. -
Janet, Thank you for the information. It's good to have someone to help know if what you are experiencing is normal or not. I'm so sorry for your loss. Three friends? My prayers are with you and their families.

Hi Janet,
Yes it has become a major challenge to eat. I too am very restricted. I get discouraged at times, however with this last fill I have finally seen the scales move. My weight loss had really slowed down prior to. I am hoping to loose 40 more pounds. I have lost 71 as of today. Like you I'm so thankful for the band. It's changing my life! My health was very bad prior to surgery. I go to the doctor on the 23rd. I am praying I will be off all high blood pressure and cholesterol medicine. I am already off Metaformin for being pre-diabetic. If that isn't reason enough I don't know what is? My confidense is coming back and I am feeling so much better about myself. I'm curious how many CC's do you have at this point and what are you able to eat during a meal?

Janet, You are a part of my inspiration. I follow your blog. I had the surgery 7/14/09. I have lost 69 pounds. Call me competitive but it’s good for my motivation! J I think you and I are pretty close in surgery date, start weight, etc.. I want to loose 42 more pounds. I too have a goal of reaching the 100 pound loss by my first year anniversary. I went and tried on clothes this past week. I could put on a size 12 but very tight. For the most part loosing weight has been easy. I am so happy I did this. Thanks for inspiring me! JSC
