    Happy New Years friends! i dusted off my elliptical and tried to do my 20 minutes... I only made 15 minutes before wanting to throw myself down the stairs! man that machine kicks my butt. i did about 8 minutes of stretching and my 3pound hand weights too but... its that machine i wanted to tackle. i bought a headphone extension so i can watch something on my laptop while using my machine. maybe if i give it a few minutes and try to get those last 5 minutes in ...

    Hapy Saturday friends! I felt really crummy yeserday - hubby asked about my progress and i told him. i had a gain the week before xmas and no change at my last weighin - so he very innocently asked "isnt that where you wre a few weeks ago"? and i bit his head off :angry He's about 120 pounds soak and wet so he doesn't really nderstand all thats involved with trying to shed over 100 pounds. i apologized tho and still feel kinda crummy. I was already mad at myself for the snacking and not exercising - i just took it out on him, But this morning the scale moved again! now i am refocusing and heading to trader joes for food stuffs. Have a great day!

    A blessing or a curse?

    i had some chinese today. the chinese place by us has the best sweet and sour chicke. i tok 4 nugget pieces and cut off the breading, put a little of the sweet and sour and some of the inside of 2 crab rangoon. It was heaven. i tried a slice and a 1/2 of pizza and i felt like crap so i will take that off my list.

    Upper GI question

    i think i had to pay almost 200bucks for mine. i was annoyed because I was told I had to go to Rush Hospital to have it done and not at the surgical center. so i make another appointment and go... and then get billed anyway. If theinsurance wasn't going to pay for it I wish it would have all been done at the same time as my pre-op testing. sillyness.

    Hi All! hope your holiday weekend was wonderful! Back at work today... YUCK. Didn't make the Christmas Challenge... lost 4.5... was kinda down about that but its still losing. Todays my 2 month bandiversary and 27 pound in 2 months still makes me smile. I kept saying my xmas present to myself would be cheekbones and I think you can see the difference in my face so all in all I think we're all doing great. My 2007 bring us all sorts of wonderfulness!

    1 cc feels really tight.

    i also have 1.5cc in a 4cc band. i don't know if I'm just right or not. i got real light headed during my fill so he removed some. he told me to come back this week if i wanted him to put some back... i haven't called and think i'll ride it out for a few months. i haven't had any pain but spitting goo over the weekend. just don' know... we definietley have to get to know our new tools very very well, don't we!

    Chicago friends

    Hello Chicago pals. had my first fill on Thursday - 1.55 in a 4cc band. Still getting used to things. I did some searching and i think I have pb'd twice - no food or pain just spitting out mucusy-goo. Gross. i need to be slower with the eating. I can call this week to go back in if i want to be readjusted w/o a fee but i just don't know.... Hope you are all well!

    Slime?

    Hi everyone! I got my first fill on Thursday and have been trying to go back to food, A couple of times I would get kinda phlemy and definitely spit out some grossness but no pain and no food, I tried to search on slime but didn't come up with anything that really talked about it. Is it just spitting up mucusy goo? So your body tell you Hey Now, No More Tuna! ?

    Jodi - speedy healing! hi all! well i stopped being a baby and went for my fill. It was OK except for the getting hot and dizzy and thinking I would pass right out. The Doc said that the patient before me had the same exact reaction so he took some of the fill out - i have 1.5cc... i can come back within the 2 weeks for an adjustment and it doesnt cost more so i have to wait and see if i need it... At least tomorrows friday! Have a good one!

    Good Morning friends! Hope u are all well! I have my first fill today at 4. last night tho i totally had a freak out - am i ready for a filll? Am i folloowing the rules well enough to put restriction into the equation?? can i really afford a $200 this close to the end of the year and Christmas?? I just don't know. Altho the idea of leaving work at 230 is reason enough to go! I just don't know. I feel like I'm eating more and have substituted my sweets and chocolate addiction with a need for those 100 cal packs of pringles or cheese-its (anything salty). The pounds are coming off but i'm worried i'm going to screw something up with a fill... i just don't know... Any one else anxious before their first fill? sonia
