So this is the reason I had to put up with chocolate.. YUCK>> lol... I like vanilla better cause you can add sugar free flavors to it... Oh well that stage is long gone LOL... On to better things...

I can not wait for another fill... I find I get full easy but get hungry just as quick so I think I need some more in there. And no I do not drink with my meals. I wait about 1.5 hrs later... Anyways I can not wait to get in there.... Rhonda if you hear this I am looking for a fill. LOL

I feel like I am plateauing.. Have not really lost any significant weight in the past couple weeks.. Feel I am eating well.. Oh well..

I have missed you on here... Good to see u back.... I hope everything goes well. I am crossing my fingers for you...

i have had my 2nd fill and at 5ccs in my 10 cc band and can feel it. But I think the swelling has gone down now cause i am starting to be able to eat a bit better. I am looking at another fill beginning of March.. I don't want to travel sea to sky due to the olympics unless I really have too.. It may get a little crazy here...

If you are only in Vancouver one day we should have lunch together... The hardest day on the liquid diet is the 3-4 day after that it goes smoothly... I hated the taste but if you say it taste like slimfast enjoy lol... I loved cuccumbers and viniger at that stage it was yummy... Have you started a blog yet.. Keep me updated and enjoy. 2 weeks goes by fast...

I wish in Canada that insurance companies gave you the option of having wls.... I believe we are further behind in times then US... Crazy stuff..

wow a 4 cc band.. I have never heard of a 4 cc band... Hope your fill is working for you...

Hey the fill went good. Got poked a lot and was a little tender the next day.. I feel like I am having restriction and have got food stuck twice learning as I go.. Small bites, Small little bits,, I mean little.. LOL... So when do you go in for surgery???? Don't you start the liquid diet soon????? Again are you right in Vancouver or somewhere else in BC????? Well keep us updated... :cursing:

We had chilli tonight and no sliding for me... Had it a couple hrs ago and still full.. I had it full of veggies, spinach, celery, asparagus, onions, garlic, beans, with turkey as well.. Yummy.. and now I am enjoying a cup of green tea...

You all have me curious so I am going straight away to the BMR site.... I have to figure out mine now.. LOL

Had a good day today.. I now have 5 ccs in my little band. Hoping I will feel the great restriction that is talked about.. I would love to make it to at least one of these meetings but find it hard.. Possibly spring or summer...

Second fill tomorrow.. I am down 30 lbs and down to a size 20 from a 22 since November. I also notice a difference in my shirts. Yeah... Cant wait for my second fill.. Hope I at least get another full cc to bring me up to 4.5 ccs..

Hey well I am two months since surgery. Since November 1st. 2010 I have officially lost on my scale 30lbs. I am so happy... I am down to 268 lbs. Yeah for me. Once I hit 50 lbs lost I am going shopping at Lulu Lemon.. So fun... LOL I have an awesome green tea that I am drink 3 times a day and I am continuing with my freshly juiced juice that I do myself so I can control what goes in there.... Todays was yummy. Cucumber, carrot, tomato, spinach, celery a few grapes strawberries and blueberries.. It was great... It also fills me so I have it right when I start to get hungry in the afternoon.. I have also started back on vitamins with a stress B because I have been having a hard time. I moved from my home town to be with my hubby where he works and I do not much like this place. I did it so my six kids and I can live with their dad as a family. I just feel really lonely here.. I miss having my girlfriends and doing things outside of family time. I need to get out more but find it soooo difficult. I go for a fill tomorrow and will be taking one of my husbands co-workers wives with me. I am sooo excited about this.. Again it is the little things with me.. Anyways got to run watching biggest losers... Happy yellow team is back...

i was told it is the feeling u have the first week after surgery...

Way to go and welcome back...

Yeah I get to go for a second fill next wednesday,... I am so happy... I am doing a happy dance and you can't even see me... For me it is the little things.. I feel like I am doing pretty good. My friend was here for a few days and brought me my favourite Japanese green tea. It is kind of a cool mix loose green tea leaves with with roasted rice and a few pieces of popcorn in it.. It is awesome.. So I have been drinking three cups of that a day.. Yummy... I have bought more lean cuisine meals for those days that I just want food now instead of eating the crap dinner with the kids.. I add salad to it. because I still do not have restriction. Weigh in on friday... Crazy nervous about that.. Keep up the good work all of us..

Well I am doing Fine.. And if any of you know what FINE really means then you know that it is not true. LOL I have been working pretty hard on losing but have slowed. This is where my weighloss usually plateus and I give up... I have vowed to myself that is not what is going to happen for me.. I am changing my plans with my personal trainer because of the pain from my Fybromyalgia... I went to one workout and was in pain for a full week plus some.. It made my symptoms flair up.. I also gained .4 lbs back.. Not biggy I am thinking it is from my time of the month. I had a hystorectomy 3 years ago but have one ovary left so still get the symptoms.. Anyways... I still would not say I am not in Bandster Hell.I am really doing my best to stay at under 1200 calories some days it may be a bit more but not many. I definatly do not have restriction but can feel some foods going through the band. I also have been trying to focus on slowing down my eating. That is the hardest part for me.. I am going to start using my phone for a timer... I put in a request for another fill so hope to do that in just over a week.. I really want to get to that sweet spot. Well goodnight all... PS I love reading all the blogs on here. It helps me with inspiration..

Yeah me five. I am on here once or even twice a day... I feel it keeps me even more motivated then I already am.

Welcome back Yosemite... Anyone else on Facebook here????

I guess I am not in bandster hell persay just working hard at keeping my calories at 1100. I do get hungry but make sure I have healthy snacks. I rarely go about 1400 calories in a day.. I find that I am satisfied with that much... For example today I had 1 piece whole wheat toast, 1 egg and 1/2 sausage a kids meal at a resteraunt... For lunch I had half a turkey sandwhich with a small chai. Yes it is liquid but it really fills me up.. Thats a skinny chai.. I have been working hard at thinking positive and keeping in my calories... I am so pretty sore from exercising and the fybromyalgia so I have been trying to not stress about that. Anyways looking forward to my second fill.. I definatly am in the same boat not much restriction... Again we can all do this.. Still so excited about it..
