    6cc's in a 14cc Band

    I hope so too! Good luck and just keep doin' what we're supposed to be doin'!!
  4. How are you doing, Shiba? It is certainly cooling off and making walking much nicer! I work at a school, so this is heading into our busy, busy time of year, but my goal is to continue walking at least a mile each night. Have a great weekend! Rose

  5. Darn it . . I had a whole response typed up and hit the wrong button and lost it - arghhh! Anyway . . your pictures are amazing! I love seeing the progress in the green shirt - what a good idea! You asked about my surgery date on your post to my site . . it was 7/15/10 and since starting the pre-op diet, I've lost 38 pounds - as best I can figure . . I did not have any bathroom scales before surgery. I hit "Onederland" the end of August and am thrilled! I have a long way to go in the "onesies" - I am only 4' 11", but I'll just keep plugging along - just like you . . .it's great, huh? Best wishes... Rose

  6. You look amazing! Thanks for sharing your pictures, it is inspiring to see your progress and the changes! You had asked about my surgery date on your post to my site . . it was 7//15/10 and I've lost about 38 pounds, I think. I didn't have any bathroom scales at home before surgery, so it's difficult to monitor until I go to the dr.'s office and get an "official" weight. In any case, I couldn't be happier. I hit "Onederland" the last week of August . . .which is great, but I'm only 4'11", so I have a long way to go in the onesies yet. Keep up the good work and keep on blogging . . we all love reading your posts! Best wishes . . Rose

  7. Hey hawyn, thanks for the friend request . . looking forward to reading more of your journey! Rose

    Here I am!

    I was finally able to get a picture of myself in a format I could upload, so .. . here I am! Nice to see all of you :smile:
  9. Hi Bklynike, how are ya? How is your journey going? I am like you and have not had a fill yet . . still not feeling the need - how about you? My weight loss has slowed considerably, but is still going in the right direction and it's ok with me if it comes off slowly. How many days are you going to the gym? I am not able to get to a gym, so I walk as much as I can. My arms don't get much workout that way and I need to find something to do to help my "bat wings" - ughh!

  10. There you are!! Good to hear from you and I'm so glad you are doing well and losing so well. I visited your pictures and can see such a difference in your face - good for you! I work at a school, so we are just getting into my busiest time of year and my big fear is getting too busy to walk each night (that happened to me this same time when I lost weight on my own 2 years ago). But I'm just making the commitment to get in at least a mile each night . .. that has to be doable, right? I haven't had a fill yet . . .not sure when I'll be ready for that, just playing it by ear. Everything else is going really well and I'm thankful everyday for this decision and this tool. Have good days . . .Rose

    im pretty sure my surgeon is nuts.

    I am almost 2 months post op, harliquinn, and getting 600 - 800 calories a day, which right where my nutritionist says I should be . ..making sure of course to get 50 - 80 gm of protein . . . I don't know what your doc is thinking??

    Also. .. good to make sure your food is moist, that helps a lot. After a while, it just becomes second nature! You'll do fine. Best wishes.

    Confused

    For sure! As I read the posts here, I see so many different plans, but you know what? I figure you are paying a lot of money for your doctor to give you his expertise . . .either you trust him or you don't. If you trust him, it's best to follow his plan -- that's what I think anyways!!
  22. What fun! Enjoy every minute. Best wishes.

    Breakfast...just not staying full, need help

    Is he able to eat solids yet? If so, try Egg Beater's Egg Whites . .. 1/4 cup scrambled with 2Tablespoons of low fat cheese, then place it on a piece of well toasted wheat bread . . add 1/4 cup yogurt . . I have this almost every morning and don't feel hungry until lunch. I am 7 1/2 weeks post op and have not needed a fill yet. Hope this helps . . . best wishes.

    Happy Labor Day!

    Hello everyone and happy Labor Day. We are spending our day . . . well, laboring. We are going to cut wood this morning. I have laundry to catch up on and I actually brought home some work that I have put off doing all weekend, so I need to dig in and get it done and I need to get over to my mom's and do some cleaning. I will take time for a good walk and that will feel great. No cook outs today and that's ok, I'm really not missing it. How about you? Whatever you do to celebrate Labor Day . . .I hope it's a successful day for you. Be mindful of food choices and get in some exercise, you'll feel great for it tomorrow.:smile:
