You are working out a lot! Give yourself some credit for that -- I couldn't do that and I consider myself a driven woman lol (no make that a driving woman -- I drive a lot to and from work). Keep up the great work!!!

Thanks!!!! It's getting easier now that I have lost weight but at 388 it was so hard to workout!!!!

Thanks Marw! I am excited about going back to the gym in the morning! I love the eliptical!! I guess I just needed to get started...

That's awesome!!!! 388 was my starting weight also and I can't wait until I get in the 200's also!!!!

Congrats on everything! That's amazing going 29 days without cheating! Whew!

That's funny!!! My doctor told me to have liquids for the day of the fill and soft foods the next day and that's it. Everyone is different I guess but I am on my 5th fill and I take it easy on those two days as prescribed.

So, I got in 60 min of or workout time today! I could only do 15 min on the eliptical but it's only my second time getting on it so I hope by the end of the month I can do 30 min! I am glad I joined the gym because doing the tapes at home was boring and I was slacking! Having the trainers in the gym stopping by to encourage me really helps. I hope I can keep this up! So far my new fill is working good.

For me, eating is an ADDICTION. Telling you to stop eating after 1/2 cup is like telling an alcoholic to stop after 1 sip. WE have to eat to live, we need food. it's not like just stop going to the liquor store. I got the band because i needed HELP. I agree with you that if you're not feeling restriction, whats the use having the band? I couldn't do it on my own before. I really really need the help. I'm not losing much, but i'm always looking forward to a good fill that will give me restriction and actually make me feel FULL after that /2 cup of food. i beleive it's out there, i just need patience and not lose my mind when i'm having a hard time with no restriction. hang in there with me shurmeka, we're truly in the same boat. we'll get there eventually!

I agree with everything you said! I do believe I will get there. I am on day two of going to the gym and that eliptical is not a joke!!! I am sure if I stick with the gym it will help me burn those calories!

Thanks everyone! I only lost one pound at weigh in today and they all looked at me so disappointing. I am never going back! They kept asking me why was I eating more than 1/2 cup of food and I kept saying I only feel a little full at 1 cup and she said to stop at 1/2 a cup regardless. I had the surgury because I can't stop if I don't feel full Lady!!!!! If I can stop at 1/2 cup without feeling restriction what was the point of the surgery? After my 5th fill today she said I am at 5.5 cc's which I thought I already had that amount. Well, I scheduled another appointment in Dallas next week.

That time of month is the only time I feel "real" restriction!! Yea, he is completly wrong!
