The Holiday Challenge

[kkf1979 10]

Hello,

I had to have my band removed today at the time of the hiatal hernia repair and am not able to get another band in the future because my surgeon said the hernia will reoccur.

I am going to work REALY hard to continue losing and to maintain my weight.

Sorry to hear about your band being removed are other WLS an option for you or do you have to do this on your own now?

got my first fill today. very informative visit as far as Protein, food etc. My PA refused to tell my what size band I have or how much Fluid is in it or going in it. She said she wants me to focus on how everything feels rather than how much fluid is in the band. I guess I can see where shes coming from but I really like to know whats going too. Anyway, turns out my doc already put fluid in at the time of surgery. She removed all she put in, then put that back plus a little more. So at least I know it wasnt just the plication that had me feeling restriction. So now its fluids only for 2 days, pureed for 2 and soft for 2. So, I should have a decent weigh in this Thursday It will be interesting to see how the next couple weeks go.

Weigh in time!! Didn't do much this week. I am at 162.6, so I am down .2 pds. Not much of weight loss, but atleast it isn't a gain. :-) Good luck everyone!!

I'm going to be very busy tomorrow so I'm going to weigh in today. I was 260.8 and this week I am 257.8. That is a 3 pound loss this week! I have lost 90 lbs total. I can't believe I am almost to 100 lbs. I WILL NOT let the holidays ruin this for me lol.

I am down 2 pounds at 239. That makes a 150 pounds that I lost this year. That is equal to carrying around 10 bowling balls everywhere I went.

[Cindy C 150]

So after having .5cc removed a week ago, I'm up 3 pounds to 174.8.
