It truly is a journey. Hopefully, the time you spend making sure of your decision allowed you to mentally and emotionally accept all that comes with it. Just know that our bodies are all different; some of us lose alot quickly, while others of us lose at a much slower rate. Stay focused and committed, YOU'RE MORE THAN A CONQUEROR !!

I am. It seems as though my progress is slower than most, but it's progress nonetheless !!

Slow and steady, but at least I'm moving in the right direction. -
I'm starting to see a little progress. Thank God for a picture journal, it really helps !!

November was a slow progress month. Down 25 lbs total, but thank God the scale is still moving in the right direction.

Just had my 3rd fill. Now at 7 cc's. I can truly tell the difference. I think I may be in the "green zone" as hours can pass before I realize that I need to eat. Hopefully next month will result in major progress !!! -

You have truly inspired me. It may have taken you 2 years, but the end result looks like the journey was well worth it. CONGRATULATIONS !!!

This was my 40 & Fabulous Cruise. I though I was so cute just after losing a few pounds. I exercised everyday on the cruise ship !!!

Do the fill's hurt

OMG, do not stress over this. I had my first fill TODAY, and like you I was nervous. It was over so quickly with no pain, I didn't even know my nurse was finished. You'll be fine. God Bless !!! -
August Rush in bandland!

Just had my 1st fill, 3.5cc's. Waiting to see what my restriction will be!!! -
So excited. I had my 1st fill today, 3.5 cc's. I've lost 20lbs and 1 1/2 inches off my waist. No issues, whatsoever. All is well !!!

Girl, things are really going well. Still at 14 lbs so far, but I'm excited because I managed to maintain even after a 7-day cruise last week. The band is doing just what it's supposed to, remind me that IT IS THE BOSS and that I can't do what I use to. I'M LOVING IT.

How did you wean yourself off caffienated drinks?
msdeneen2004 replied to roxyc's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm not a DC drinker, but I was a Mr. Pibb "feen". I had to remind myself that this procedure was a HUGE decision and that NOTHING is worth me screwing up this "last-ditch" effort. It's been a full-month post-op. Last week while I was on a 7-day cruise, I thought I would jump overboard to tast a soda. Guess what, I ordered 1, took a sip--- I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED. The hype behind the crave wasn't worth the cheat or the $2.50 for that little aluminum can. I learned a valuable lesson: Continue to CONQUER cravings as most often it won't be worth the cheat or extra calories. Hang in there !!!!! -
How do you know when you're full?
msdeneen2004 replied to kentx05's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's been 3 weeks since surgery for me. I'm pretty much eating whatever I want, after chewing the "heck" out of it. I've realized that I can't eat as much as I'm accustomed to, I get the uncomfortable "full" feeling and I just stop. I can't tell you how much food I've had to either throw out or save until the next day because of this. I figure my brain has to catch up with the band's ability to restrict. I'm so concerned about making sure I don't do anything to cause the band to move until I make sure I don't overeat or overdrink ANYTHING !!!!
