I am just checking in! I started doing Herbalife yesterday. See how it helps and if it helps me to get the rest of the weight off. I don't want to get another fill since I get stuck and had a pb last week. I supplement breakfast and lunch with a health shake and eat a good dinner. I will let you all know how I do! Audree

Nope! Mine was 30!! I went to Mexico and Dr. Ariel Ortiz did my surgery!! It was fantastic!!

Hello fellow Christ followers!!!! I have not been on the site much lately. So many new faces!!! I will probably visit this thread for encouragement!!! Audree

How are you all doing??? I am at a plateau too and yoyoing the same 4 or so pounds!!!!!:faint: I definitely need another fill. I also had my first pb today. YUCK!!! I don't even know why! I ate a bite of cream cheese in a cold cut and it got stuck!! I eat steak and chomp it down so why am I tight now!!! Audree

<p>I am just checkin in to say hi!</p> <p>I have been yoyoing the same 4 pounds for over a month. I go from 166 or so to 170. I definitely need another fill.</p> <p>I pb'd for the first time today and it was very painful. I did what you all say to do, just to bend over the toilet and it just came out! I felt instant relief. Had some soup for dinner. </p> <p>How are you all doing? Baby

Hello! My friend had her surgery in Mexico and had an awesome experience. She has had no complications and has lost 50 pounds so far. I have been yo yo dieting my whole life. I am 33, 5'5 and currently 180 pounds. I am wondering if they will still do the lapband on me at this weight. I know my bmi is considered in the obese range. In order to maintain this weight, I have to constantly be watching what I eat and exercising. I was even replacing two meals with shakes. I have two small children and never have any energy. I have struggled with my weight all my life. I was 220 after my daughters were born and lost some weight, but it always comes back. I was thinking about going to a weight loss clinic, but just wonder if it will just be another diet in the many I have done and I have done them all! Please let me know if you know of a doctor in Mexico who will do the lapband on someone with only about 50 pounds to lose. I will also be paying cash, so if you can let me know how much it cost. I prefer to have a doctor with a lot of experience in a medical facility or hospital. Thanks, BGB

Just checking to say hi! How are you all doing? I am doing good! Just adjusting to going back to work. I feel like I don't have that much time to myself anymore. But, I am getting a schedule down now. I was up from my lowest of 164 to 169 during TOM. I am now back down to 165. I was eating too many carbs and felt soooo hungry all the time. I had a second fill 3 weeks ago bringing me to 2.4 cc's in a 4 cc band. I am still able to eat pretty well, but a little less than before this last fill. I was still able to eat 2 hamburger patties for dinner and a small salad. I am not exercisng right now either. Just wanted to say hi!!! Audree

You know that I did the best when I was using them. I have not bought them and tried to use some cheaper ones, but I am at a standstill. I am just going to have to break down and buy them. Congrats!!!

Sorry that I have not posted in a while. I went back to work and don't get on the computer much anymore. Here is where I am: I had a second fill a few weeks ago putting me at 2.4 cc's in a 4 cc band. Believe it or not, I didn't feel any difference really till a few days ago. I don't know why for me, I don't feel my fills for about 3 weeks. I felt a pressure in my chest a few times when eating too fast, but no pb or sliming. I am at a standstill with my weight, fluctuating a few pounds up and down. I last weighed at 167 a couple of days ago. My lowest was 164 but somehow I gained 3 pounds back. I have been eating what ever I want. But, I have been thinking lately that I didn't spend this much money to just eat whatever I want!!!!! I have started having a nice salad for lunch and dinner on most days. I also upped my protein. I was eating far too many carbs and those make my hunger go haywire for some reason I feel like a bottomless pit! I want to go back on South Beach. I am pointing more in that direction in my eating again so let's see if I start to lose again! Besides that all is well!!! The site looks cool. When did they update it? Anything really different or is it the same? How are you all doing?? Audree

I was a lower bmi patient and they put me on preop with Dr. Ortiz. I had one shake in the morning and a South Beach Frozen dinner for lunch and dinner, plus plenty of water.

We will do this together!!! I can't wait to get to the beach this summer. My goal is to lose 15 to 20 in 2 months. What is Touristas about?

They are some weight loss supplements I have been taking that I believe really helped me lose better. you can go on quickslim30.com and they have a lot of info about them there!!

I am so happy to meet you!!! I went for my 2nd fill today and have 2.4 cc's now. I had 1.2 cc's. I was able to eat, but very little. I had a piece of toast after the fill and took it good. Dr. Romero had me eat some carne asada before at a local place before I went home. I had a small cup of beans for dinner and was FULL. They do all of there fills under fluero. I had 1.2 cc's and he pulled out a full 1.2 cc's so I kept the whole amount that was put in. Thanks for encouraging me!:biggrin1: Please let me know how it goes with you. I love to have buddies to lose weight with and keep me going, accountable, etc. Keep in touch!!! babygotback

I went for fill number 2 today. I was at 1.2 cc's and now I have 2.4 cc's. He made sure I could pass food which I was able to pass 1 toast and about 30 minutes later, some carne asada. I will let you know how it goes. I was definitely fuller a lot faster. Audree

I go on Wednesday!!!! I am ready to start losing again!!

I can't wait to hit the sweet spot. I am ready to start losing again. I am eating too much, but still less than I used to.

I pay $60 at my doctor. I still have not been able to buy them and I am up five pounds. I am also premenstrual and majorly bloated, but bummed. I am able to eat more. I go for fill number 2 this Wednesday.

Hey guys!!! I am just checkin in!!! My kids are on easter vacation so things have been busy! I am going for my 2nd fill this Wednesday. I have been able to eat too much lately. I am premenstrual and I know I am up because of that, but I am up 5 pounds!!! BOOOHOOOO I will let you know how my 2nd fill goes!!!

Hey guys!!! Just checkin in!!! I weigh in tomorrow but I have stopped losing. I am going for my 2nd fill next Wednesday with Dr. Ortiz. I also ran out of quickslim30 and it made a huge difference. I need to get some more. I eat as much as my husband and he is 6 feet tall and 200 pounds. But, I eat less than I used to pre band. I also have been working out. If I lose this week, I may hold off getting the 2nd fill since I do like being able to eat what ever I want and I have never pb'd or slimed. How are you all doing???

there is a website I found Quickslim30.com I was getting them from my chinese herbalist. I ran out and need to buy some more. I can tell a huge difference when I don't take them. I am a lot more hungry and I don't lose as fast!!! I need to go get me some more!!

I am right there with you. I have lost about 4 pounds or so I think since my last fill 5 weeks ago. I do eat less than I did pre band, but it is still too much. I can also eat anything and can eat as much as my husband!!!! He is 6 feet tall and weighs 200 pounds so I shouldn't be eating the same servings as he is!!!:faint: :faint: :faint: I can eat as much as I want with out any pain or discomfort, have never pb;d or slimed. I am going for a 2nd fill next Wednesday. I also have started exercising too. It seems really slow on the boards lately. I haven't been on like I was just due to my step daughters wedding and trying to get my house back in order and my life back. Planning a wedding just took so much out of me. I have been trying to get better organized and better with my time management and that means not too much time on the computer. But, I still want to check in once a day at least!!! How are you all doing??? I can finally type again!!! Got those darn acrylic nails off finally!!!

I actually need to restart. I went off and didn't get back on. I eat mostly South Beach but have had croutons in my salad and some small quantities of rice. I gained 2 pounds and I am pretty sure it is water, but if I don't show is off tomorrow, I am restarting for sure!!! Now who is with me???

They are gel caps and go down well. They really help me and they aid in weight loss, rev up metabolism, etc. My pants are really starting to hang on me now, the ones that used to be tight. I am getting down to having only a few pairs of workout pants and I am giving all my clothes away. I showed a 2 pound gain but I am sure it is Water retention since I have only been eating salads for dinner with tomato, red onion, swiss cheese, croutons and balsamic vinegrette dressing. I have coffee with soy milk every day for Breakfast and the only meal that varies is lunch and I don't eat much. I have been drinking my water, taking my supplements which are quickslim30, Biotin, and liquid Vitamins. I am working out 3-4 times a week for one hour and hope to increase it next week. My goal is to lose 20 more pounds in 2 1/2 months which is summer!!!

Hey guys!!!! I am back!!! I finally started going back to the gym. I went last Thursday, walked on Friday, Gym yesterday and today. Treadmill for 1 hour. I am feeling really good and am loving my Ipod!!!

We are all different. I personally can eat anything I want but choose to make healthier choices. I have been eating more salads lately too. I paid $8500 and had one of the top doctors in the world do my surgury in Mexico. It was very easy to make arrangents. Dr. Ortiz is affiliated with FillCentersUSA.com so you can see a fill doctor near you. I had an awesome experience!!!
