14 weeks

[bburleigh 0]

Only one fill, 14 weeks out, 31 # and feeling good...exercise is working, not hungry much...can see the difference...50# to go.:bored: Eating mostly what I should but sometimes eating other things in moderation. Water aerobics helps a lot, treadmill is good but boring. Anyone else banded in March?

Hi there! I was banded just two weeks after you, I am 12 weeks out.

That is fantastic that you are doing well on one fill. I have had two and am anxiously awaiting my third which will be administered mid July. Hunger has been my constant companion these last 8 weeks or so!

I don't see a difference in myself, but others have commented. I have heard that it is harder for you to change your mental perception of yourself than it is to change your physical appearance. I just can't get out of the fat mindset.

I have been upping my exercise and have really noticed a difference. Normal daily activities just aren't as hard as they used to be. I am very happy about that. The greatest news of all is that I am off of all my diabetes medication! Whoo-hoo! My blood pressure is lower and I am doing really well! Great job band!....and me too!

I put on a swimsuit for the first time in 20 years...yikes! I made myself sign my little boys up for swimming lessons all summer long. Since my youngest is just 24 months I have to go in the Water with him. I am constantly wondering if people are staring at me. I know that I need to get over this, but how do you?

You take care and I am really excited that we are both doing well. Again, I am jealous about you not being hungry!

Howdy!

Banded March 2nd. Down 36 pounds since. Got my 3rd fill on Wednesday and am getting stuck on cottage cheese and yogurt. I think I need an unfill on Monday but I should lose a few pounds this weekend.

The treadmill isn't all that boring if you play music really loud.
