Hey Sister Sleeve! How are things going with you? I had two periods of no weight loss and wow - it was tough getting past those points. I'm down 49.8 and feeling so much better but there are a few little changes in the past month. I get hungry - really after 3 hours and no food. And - my stomach growls - which didn't happen at all the first two months. Oh well - I never think about my weight like I used to - I know it will come off and just keep doing what I'm doing. Love you kiddo - Reb

I must be the only one who cant figure out how to add the weight loss ticker! I go to the Factory site and all I see to download is for the android?? Confused.

“@LapBandLiz: Cut 12" of my hair to donate to Locks of Love. Wept tears of pure joy! My locks of love literally. http://t.co/R5VnnKt5”

I'm scared I may get too skinny. I have never been one who wanted to weight less than 130. I'm hoping my weight loss stops at about 135...

Starting freak out. Hospital called, went over everything n surgery will last 3 - 4 hrs. Friday I will find out the time of surgery. Pure liquids only on Monday, great more weight loss

I didn't really plan on doing the gym thing until weight loss slowed down on it's own so I never asked my doctor how long before I could really start to work out.... How long did you guys wait (totally spelled that weight the first time haha) after surgery to do more then just walk? I'd love to walk outside but it is just so cold here in NY!

Feeling BLESSED Holiday season! I got the surgery I needed to have a heathier, happier life!! Hoping everyone had a Merry Christmas, and that we all are successful this New Year 2012 on our weight loss resolutions!!

My four year old opened EVERY single present under our tree this morning, today was the last day of school until Jan. 9 and my steroids have played out. Lord help me to have a hair left on my head by the time this is all over!

My bra was soaked. My hair was soaked. Yay! This means I worked out HARD!!

Today I caught my reflection in a shop window... and it surprised me! I think today was the first day I've been able to "see" my weight loss

Happy 33rd Birthday weight loss pills!

My dr and I have decided that we will be seeking a maintenance level of fill and not a fill level that will provide weight loss. I'm very happy with that! Feeling good about where I'm at with my band for the first time in a long time!

Extreme Makeover Weight loss edition is on tonight, been looking forward to watching it.

90 pounds gone, but the weight loss is definitely slowing down. any tips?

Hit 10lbs loss! and feel fatter than before surgery. LOL (still boated in the belly)

I am not cleaning house or paying any bills just in case the world ends. I am going to dye my roots so my hair looks in Heaven.

Went to the beautician's today for the first time in years. Realising I used to use the whole "I'm not a girly girl thing" as an excuse to hide behind frumpy clothes, unkempt hair and huge bushy eyebrows. I don't have to be a skirts and heels kind of girl to want to take care of myself and look good for me!

My hair is not only falling by the bunches but it is also changing???? WTH!!!

50% complete with my six month supervised weight loss!

loves the weight loss, but not all the loose skin that comes with it!

Yay I hit 60 pounds weight loss today. I am so excited, my clothes are fitting looser. Only 48 more pounds to hit my first goal.

SOOO--- YESTERDAY WAS ONE MONTH OUT AND REALLY FEELING LIKE I CAN DO THIS. I TRULY WAS NOT MENTALLY PREPARED FOR THE "LOSS" OF FOOD I FELT. I HAVE WORKED THROUGH IT AND HAD A LIGHT BULB MOMENT A WEEK AGO. I FINALLY REALIZED THAT I HAVE TO WORK WITH THIS SLEEVE AND NOT LET IT "GO TO WASTE". I KNOW THAT I DIDNT EAT ALL THOSE BIG MACS IN ONE DAY AND PACK ON THE POUNDS IN ONE DAY SOOO--- IT WILL NOT COME OFF IN ONE DAY!! AHA!!! I AM MAKING GOOD CHOICES AND WALK...

4 weeks today! Scars are almost gone!!! I just may wear a 2 piece someday! I am staying around 184 though iv gone from a 16 to a 12- my body is changing though not as big of a weight loss- thank you all for your support!!

3RD week of stall.. wondering how long my body can fight the weight loss. Would love to hear from others 1-3 months out and how you are doing..

Still stalled around the same weight since 7/17 keep bouncing around thru 2lbs up and down. My body was stuck at this weight for a long time and I'm really learning why I never could stick to a "diet" before. I could never outlast the stalls and my body must be super weight loss resistant!
