So that's where they went...

MsJoy had her 3rd fill today. Since her second one, she has been convinced that she was doing horribly. She could eat ANYTHING! At the bandster meeting the other day, she was a good girl (according to the food police) and had only a cup of Soup and a little chicken. Usually she can eat almost as much as me. Even though a friend had asked her where the truckload of farmers had gone that use to live in her slacks, Joy just KNEW........KNEW that she hadn't lost an ounce since that last fill. More than likely, she had gained a little, even. We go in and they gave her another cc, for a total of 9...and the news that she had lost another 8 pounds since the last visit. :faint: WOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!!!! We celebrated with another bowl of brocolli cheese soup at Chili's and a trip to the gym for some cardio........

Hey Diane, thanks! We don't even own a scale so we had no idea. It was a good day...:grouphug:

Ms Joy - Yee haw! Good job! I think it's better if you're eating a little bit more anyway.... I worry about my body thinking it's starving and not losing.... or worse yet screwing up my metabolism so bad that if the band was ever taken out I'd be in HUGE trouble!

I'm so happy for you! We'll look forward to seeing another cute top at the next bandster lunch! Congrats!

I see that you were banded in january 2006 and has lost quite a bit of weight in such a short time. I was banded march 2006 and havent lost so much as 4 pounds. I am due for my 1st fill on May 4. Please dont ask if I'm exercising b/c i am 2 times a day!!!! tell me your secret. Help!!!!

Thanks Kim, I'll make sure that she reads that. We had a blast at the luncheon and we're looking forward to making it to another one. There ain't nooooooo tellin' what that woman has hiding in the back of that closet. LOL

Well 1slowloser, I can tell you this much. Joy has NOT been exercising until recently. She HAD been following the doctor's instructions to the T. After surgery and after each fill she has been put on liquids for at least a week and she feels that is when she has been losing the most.

Just stick with it and get your fills when you should. Some times starting an exercise routine causes your body to bulk up and retain fluids. Just hang in there. It ain't fast, but it's good.....
