I GOT A FILL!!!! YAY..... It was so awesome! They did a barrium swallow to start with and my fluid went thru so fast she made me take another sip lol. I got to watch which was so freakin RAD... Then she layed me down and made me do a crunch and took out 4 of my 5ccs and then put 2 more on top of that so I was at 7. I got up took a drink and did another xray and it was like molases going down. I was gurgling and feeling some pressure so she decided to take 1 cc back out because 2 was too much. So now I am at 6cc's YAY... I am so freakin happy. So I brought my binder with me and both of the ladies were in shock at the fact I didnt get a fill at my 6 weeks. Their way is, if you havent lost anything in 3 weeks you need a fill. SO if I lose and then platue come back because im ready for more. SHe seems to think one more fill and I will be at my sweet spot. They gave me a packet to take home that has a totally different view on this whole thing. They said they dont even allow toast... SO since I am no longer with Kaiser I am going to follow their plan and see how it goes. They were also totally shocked that the Dieticion has a say on who gets a fill or not. Crazy!! I am on liquids tonight and then I can try to eat in the am. They measured me and weighing in was MY decision. I am so happy I found this place. I left my binder there because they wanted to read it. Lol... It really does motivate you when you feel like you have a support system who believes in you instead of walking out of the Dr office wanting to cry..... So yeah thats my big news... Im ready to ROCK THIS BAND...... Happy Thursday everyone!!

Good evening all!!! YAY Lee how exciting you are in wonderland. I really thought I woulda been there by now but its a slow start for me I guess lol.....Good Job... Hopefully I will be there soon. Candra, Yes we had so much fun. Played with $160 for 2 hours and walked out down $5 so thats a good thing. It was cool. Havent gotten another email so thats good. Ready to put that to rest. OVER IT lol.!!!! Tina and Nicole glad to hear you guys on here. Nicole I didnt know either that you had the fluid taken out either. Have you thought about a fill center? Good luck. Chrissy you WILL do it!! Dont freak out, just cut out the sodium like Pammie said and see how that does. You have done so well and you will ROCK that sleeve!! HEather hows the painting and new puppy? What the pups name??? Pic please lol. Mama Ash I cant believe only 13 days OMG OMG OMG.... Have you started nesting yet lol... I did about a week or 2 before surgery lol. my house was spic and span!!! Ali, how ya doin? How ya feeling??? Everyone else how are you? I miss you guys!! SO I go tomorrow after work for my fill. Im so nervous and excited! I am anxious to get the Barrium Swallow to make sure my band is where it should be. I am going to bring my binder so I can show them my pics and stuff about my band. I hope this will finally give me some more restriction. YAY Cant wait. Robbie and I are going to lay low and rent a movie tonight, we are both tired (and its only Tuesday)....UGH. WOrk is nice tho since I only work 10-3 I still have so much of the day left and it doesnt get dark until after 9 here so even better. Anyways, have a great night everyone!!

Happy Friday everyone!! So Im finally wathing the scale drop again. Down back to where I was when I saw the doc at my 6 weeks. ( I had gained 6 lbs back) Anyways, it sure is nice. I still dont have restriction but I stop when I think Im full which is about 1 cup of food or so... We will see. I go to the fill center in the next town over on Thursday which I am super excited for. They will do a barrium swallow and then a fill. She asked me what I had in my band and I told her I was told over 5 so who knows for sure. I told her that I had lost 15 lbs since surgery and at my 6 weeks I had only lost 2 lbs in one month and her exact words were "WOW you are definatly ready for a fill" So IDK why every where is so different. I asked her if they can tell me exactly how much is in my band and she said of course. Curious to see. She said once they fill me if within 2 weeks I still dont have good restriction they will give me another fill for $50 so thats good to know. Im looking forward to finally maybe feeling some restriction. Wish me luck lol. Lee and John since I didnt get to see ya'll before I left post some pics, I cant wait to see how much you are ROCKIN IT!! Its a beautiful day here in Anacortes, like 63... OMG its so awesome tho. My first week of work went great! I think I am going to fit in just fine there. They all know already I have the band because I had a slight PBIng incident because I didnt chew good. I was sitting at my desk eating and working and yeah just wasnt paying attention. BIG NO NO!! So they all kinda wondered WTH I was doing lol. Oh well. Robbie and I are going to look at a place tonight, its someone his uncle knows who owns it and said if we like it we can have it for A$500 a month WOW.... IDK we will see it tonight at 5pm. How is everyone. I miss all of you so darn much. I might just have to make a suprise appearance sometime soon!!! Hubby and I were going to go for a drive along the coast this weekend and to Forks but we have to watch the doggies so we are going to go next weekend. YAY. I cant wait!!

I am trying to be down at least 9 lbs by the end of the month. We will see how that goes.. Ali, its a group thing. you are so lucky to not have to go all the way to Richmond. ALthough I did I was lucky enough to have John and Lee and my new found RNY friend Elaine in class with me so it was fun... Make sure to bring your Calcium chews and Vitamins with you... SPeaking of, does anyone recommend a nasty Calcium chew... Mine sure sets me in the mood for sweets and im over it. I need that and a new vitamin.. SUggestions....

Good Morning. Just wanted to tell ya Pat I am going through the SAME thing. I do good all day at work and then at night I am craving chocolate, candy, Ice cream and all NO NO stuff. I Dont go CRAZY but I havent totally resisted. :thumbup: I just finished TOM so hopefully that will help and I am back down 3 lbs (of the 5 I was up). So I feel your struggle. This is hard but like MO said it took us a long time to get here and will take us time to get it off. We are here for eachother. Today I started a 30 day challenge witht the girls in my office. We measured and weighed. I got some exercise stuff at Walmart since I cancelled my gym membership and I got some DVD's too. SO Im going to get my butt back into gear with the working out. So Pat come get on our 30 day challenge. We are weighing in Weekly and trying to work out 3-4 times a week. I have an appointment on the 3oth with the doc so I would like to be down 13 lbs 3 that im up and 10 since my last appointment. So I can do it!!! garage sale this weekend so busy busy. Have a great weekend eveyrone!! Happy Easter!

You are kickin butt and in onderland so just keep on truckin!! Im proud of you. Been busy and havent been able to post much lately. Riley hope you feel better lady!! Fluids fluids fluids!! Tam Tam, I am too back on track today. Started my 30 day challenge with the girls at work and most important (myself) I weighed this am and it says up 5 but its TOM so I will weigh when im done tomorrow or sat.
