I am such a yo yo...down 1 pound today from last Monday. Go to get a fill tomorrow. I think some of the exercising for the last 2 weeks may be adding some muscle weight, because I actually zipped the size 14W jean yesterday...but still had the belly roll, but I got them zipped. My husband has said my twins have gotten smaller, which has never happened before with losing weight. I too might lift and enlarge them, but will wait till I am a lot further along. Exercised 4 days in the last week.

I must be really tired tonight... You guys have me in stitches...

Oh my...I also fell off my chair LMAO... Too funny... This definitely made my day!!!

I'm so excited...lost 3 pounds so far this week. Guess not having those cookies help...

I feel like I have hit a plato. Been flucuating between 216 and 220 for over 3 weeks now. Just started back to exercising last week, hope this helps. Last week I also noticed that my hair is falling out pretty bad, and I don't have much to lose. Any suggestions other than those nasty protein shakes?

My starting weight is 218.

I'm in on the next challenge also. Only lost 18 pounds for the Christmas Challenge, but was very bad during the holidays and didn't exercise for the last 4 weeks. My starting weight is 218. :clap2: 251/218/150

I too went for a fill 2 weeks ago and was told I only had .5cc left from 1.5cc. That might explain why I didn't lose any during those 5 weeks. Two weeks ago the doc put 1.5cc in and tomorrow I go to see how much is left. I have definitely felt the restriction the whole two weeks. Have had more PBing than ever before. Find the first 2 bites really don't go down well and end up PBing. Then I am able to eat. Sounds crazy. Overall I am down 33 pounds since beginning and down 3 sizes.

MOM Still the same, no weight loss. Kind of stuck right now. Doc wouldn't fill me 2 weeks ago (2nd Fill), said weight loss was on track. Now it has stopped. Go back in 21st Nov. Definitely need a fill. Hungry all the time.

Monday weigh in 225.....-1 pound this week.

Someone told me to try the Giant Supermarket brand decaf tea. I really cannot taste the difference and it doesn't keep me up at nite.

I woke up this morning another 1.5 lbs lighter :omg: for a Christmas Challenge total of 9.5. Current weight 226.5. :clap2: Go for my second fill tomorrow. Hope it goes a little better. Took 25 minutes to find the port hole. Was very bruised. Still have most of my fat around the middle which I think makes it harder to locate the port.

I am kind of new to this website...could someone tell me about the Christmas Challenge. I really want to be involved. I was banded on September 6th. Had my first fill on October 17th.

I am currently one month and 1 day post op. I have been stuck at a weight loss of 19 pounds for almost 2 weeks. I hear this is normal. Can anyone tell me how long this will last? How much am I suppose to eat in a day? :noidea: Banded 6 Sep 06 Walter Reed Army Med Ctr-Dr. Carmody 251/232/150

I have not had my first fill. Next Tuesday. How do I know if I am eating enough calories? Mainly trying to ensure I get enough protein, which I don't think I do. Don't want to lose what little hair I have.

I too was banded 6 Sep. 251/234/150

I'm new at this but would like to sign up for the challenge. I weigh 234 today 30 September. Banded 6 Sep 06 No Fills yet 251/234/150
