I just started the DVD's this week! It is fun, not real pretty but a lot of fun. Hope you enjoy it:)

After being a nurse in Open Heart Recovery for 5 years, I decided that being fat wasn't what I wanted to be when I got old. There were also personal things like getting kicked off a ride at an amusement park because I was to fat for the safety latch. That was when I hit rock bottom and knew that I had to do something. Now, 8 months later I have lost 35 pounds, gained back 7 and am now down 3. I have had a horrible summer. I was given a 90 day trial period with my doc..... and I totally fell. I went back on JUly 27th and I now have restriction however, the scales are stuck! It is so frustrating to know I have went through so much to be thin yet I am still having the same battle!

missyms Who are you going to? I am not doing very well. I messed up and gained back about 7 pounds. I am so frustrated. I just can't keep it together. I have restriction, but I want to eat everything that is bad for me. I even quit exercising. I need to get myself back on track. I do ok for about 2 weeks then I fall of my rocker. I know what I need to do, but how do I make myself do it???

Bellyfatgone I have that same problem, 2 pounds since 2/9/10. I lost 20 lbs in the first 6weeks, and I dread the question of how much weight have you lost now? UGGGHHHH!!!! I go for my second fill on 3/19. Good luck:tongue2:

Melinco, an 18 that is AWESOME!!! You are doing terrific. I am at a stand still I have only lost 2 pounds since 2/9/10. I am frustrated. I have went from a 24 to a 22. That is rewarding! I am determined I am going to lose 15 pounds by 4/1. :w00t:

I'm in, I am aiming for 20lbs. I am at a stand still and need a challenge to get me on my game. I am so disappointed that I have not lost in 3 weeks!:sad: I got a fill on 2/9 but it was only 0.9cc because I had lost an average of 3 lbs. per week. I need to get this weight loss restarted. I didn't really suffer from bandster hell :crying:the first 6 weeks, so I think I am there now! I am down to a 22 from a 24, but I want to be a 20!LOL! Good luck guys:):w00t:

Thanks, today is a new day:) Here is to the next 20! Cheers:thumbup:

I got my first fill 2/9/10. It was only .9cc. I have lost 15 lbs since surgery. A total of 21 since preop. My doc wasn't going to give me a fill at first then I said well I am getting hungry and snacking. I was on liquids for 2 days now I can eat anything. I do pretty good if I go out to eat. I ask for a to go box and put half of my food into it. I know the weight didn't come on over night so it will take time to get it off. I now have 104 pounds to go. I am getting discouraged because I haven't lost any weight in 2 weeks;(:thumbdown:

I have the opposite, I never really feel hungry. I am only 3 weeks post op and I have to make myself eat. I have began to eat some soft foods and have gotten food stuck. Ouch!! Burning chest pain that stops me in my tracks!

Hi everyone my name is Janet. I got banded on 12/29/09. I had minimal pain from surgery. I went back to work yesterday and it wasn't so bad. I only worked for 5 hrs. I am a nurse and on my feet non-stop. I am on full liquids moving to soft food on Friday. I can't wait. I have lost 14lbs. so far. 8 since my surgery. I don't really feel hungry but I am starting to miss food. I am so sick of liquids. I am thinking very seriously about starting the soft foods sooner than Friday. I need to get started with exercising and I know it, but I can't find the motivation. My husband is out of town working and I need some support. I knew it wasn't going to be easy but it is way to soon for me to feel like this......HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!:thumbup:
