Thank you so much for your response. She is a lower bmi. I checked the PM. Please let me know if I can give her your info. Thanks!

Thanks guys!!!! You are all awesome!!!

It is herbal, so yes it is okay!

I am pretty much done! I am going to stick to the 145ish range so my body's set point can adjust to this new weight. I had learned that our body always wants to go to the weight is held the longest. That is what plateaus are sometimes. But, if you can hold within 5 pounds for 3-6 months, you re set the setpoint!!! I just need to start exercising. I think that my results are a combo of a couple things. I had a tummy tuck and lipo 3 years ago then quickly gained 30 pounds. Swelling doesn't go down for about 6 months so I never got to see the real results, until now! I also take a supplement called QuickSlim30 that helps your skin tone and muscle. It has special herbs in it that aid with weight loss and the weight loss process.

Thanks guys!! You are so encouraging!!!! No, I need a push to get my butt in gear to start exercising!!! Help

That is awesome!!! I had a tummy tuck 3 years ago and lip. Then I gained 30 pounds!!!:faint::faint:Big no, no. You are not supposed to do that. So, I am barely really seeing the results of that surgery 3 years ago because I had covered it all up with fat. Try to lose as much as you can before the surgery so they can take off as much lose skin as possible. Congrats!!

I weighed in today at 147!!! I have lost a ton in inches. I noticed when I added the 24 hour QuickSlim30 weight loss patch, things started really moving. First the inches fell off and then the pounds followed. I will never regret my band, but I never did reach a "sweet spot". I was either too loose and could eat anything or too tight and sliming, getting stuck and pbing. Then I guess my metabolism dropped so eating less was getting me no where. My band will always be there to aid me in keeping it off, but I know the QuickSlim30 is what helped me lose the weight. I could never tolerate a tighter fill than I have. I slime on almost everything and get stuck almost everyday. Thank you Jesus!!!!! :clap2:

I wanted to share with the group that I originally started out with!!! I was supposed to have my surgery Dec 06 with you all, but had to be bumped to Januray! Do you remember me? I reached my goal!!!!!! My goal was to get near/at 145 for my 34th b-day (yesterday) and I weighed in today at 147!!!!! How are you all doing????

I just wanted to come by and say hello to some of my friends! I was originally scheduled for Dec 06 so this is the group I started with. I have an update!!! I made it to goal!!! My goal was near/at 145 by my 34th b-day (yesterday) and I weighed in today at 147!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for all of your support!

My all time goal was to hit near/at 145 by my 34th birthday (yesterday) and I made it!!!!! I weighed in at 147 today!!!! I have also lost a lot in inches!!!! Now, I feel very compelled to start an exercise program. I have no excuse. I am working from home now and have a new bike and a new 21 mile bike trail near my home, elyptical/stationary bike at home, workout CD, an IPod with all my favorite songs!!! How are you all doing???

I am asking for prayer for a friend named Cathy who I met through this board. She has surgery yesterday and I got a message from her that she is in a lot of pain!!! I am worried about her. Please keep her in prayer!

I weighed in at 147 today!!!!!:clap2: My main goal was to get as near to 145 by my 34 birthday (which was yesterday), and I made it!!:faint: I can't believe it! I have lost a ton in inches and none of my clothes are fitting me anymore. My all time favorite skinny pants are baggy now!

The same thing is happening to me right now!!! I did lose 2 more pounds, but my pants are hanging on me! I am getting a lot of people telling me that they fluctuate from weight loss to losing inches as the body is stabalizing. The good thing is something is happening!!!! I'd rather lose inches and shrink than lose weight, but I am glad that I am doing both. So, that puts me to 147!!!!!!!!!!!!! My all time goal was to get as close to 145 by my 34 birthday (yesterday) and I made it!!!!!!!! :clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2:

I love you guys too! I don't even go and try not to read some of those threads! They are so mean and unrespectful of each other. I know I can come here for good advice and for daily motivation. You guys are awesome and I am glad to know you all! Audree

:clap2::clap2::clap2:You guys are so encouraging!!! We will all get there together!!! Welcome to all the new folk and some I have not heard from in a while!!! Nice to hear from you!

Yeah, I know how you feel! I have 3 cc in a 4 cc band. I still slime and get stuck, pb if I am not careful. I definitely will not be getting another fill!!

I actually have not taken up regular exercise. I walk and clean my house a lot, but that is it for now. I take vitamins and supplements that help your skin as you lose weight.

Yours is on the way!!!! Thanks!!!:clap2::clap2::clap2:

Where are all my Lower BMI sisters at???? Let's do a shout out!!!!! Even if you just read and post, say hi!

I guess it is going around!!! I had a fever on Monday and now my sinus are bothering me. On top of that my shoulders and neck feel super tight and nothing I do is helping with the discomfort!!!

I love this thread!!! I am in Rancho Cucamonga, CA It looks like some of us are practically neighbors! Audree

Yeah, that is how it has been for me too. I am working on the strangers who cross my path.:clap2: It helps that I am around it a lot due to the type of church I am in. My pastors will witness anywhere, anytime and I see people getting saved left and right! It is awesome!

You need to know what your post op diet is and than stock up on those things. Maybe like broths, watered down juice, V8, protein drink, etc. I didn't have any depression. I was actually happy!

What happened?? Are you okay?

Yes, I do have him as my fill doctor. I have gone for 3 fills and am at 3 cc's in a 4 cc band. I would suggest going back to him if you can. He always does it under fluero and they are a little more aggressive than they are here. I would suggest doing the toast test afterwards. After getting filled, they give me a piece of dry toast to see if I can pass it. Then depending on how I feel, I ask them to see is under fluero again to see how the food is passing through the band. So than I have the choice to add or take out, at no extra cost.
