Road to "TWOterville"

[waterlily1072 5]

My surgery was July 20th, and I weighed 247 the morning of surgery. I am on my way. I am having a big party at 299!

I am assuming you meant 347 to clear up any confusion and grats on your great start!!!

Add me to the real close list

wahoo!!! go to tickerfactory.com and follow the prompts, select and copy the link they give you and paste it into the signature under user cp :Banane23:

LapBandit, I hear you girl. I had tortilla chips tonight Starting to do some things for me though which is good and I see my regular doc on friday about changing my happy pills for something stronger. Planning on starting an excersise routine with some of my new found free time :Banane23:

UGGGHHHH!!!! I'm still stuck at 300.2!!!!! It's been a week!! I'm having an incrediby messed up menstrual cycle. I'm spotting and not "actually" getting my period. I wonder if that has something to do with it. I'm also sick with a sinus infection. I just wanna break into twoterville beofre my fill on Friday...:faint:

Hey Libra,

Got my first fill yesterday,owch. Poked me twice and had to palpate my port(it had tilted a bit). The scales at the Dr.s office are three lbs lighter than mine at home, but even on mine I lost a few. So I'm back on track and shooting for twoterville. I have no idea how this fill is going to be, but I'm back on liquids for a few days. I found out that I did have 2.5 ccs in my band already and he added 2. He also said I have a 10cc band, I misunderstood the Doc in mex, he was trying to tell me I had about 7ccs left in my band. Other than that I guess all is well with my band and I was worried for nothing. I also went to my first support meeting last night and it was great.

Have you tried the fresh lemon in warm Water thing? I did it on Saturday and didn't think it worked, then yesterday I spent the whole morning peeing and lost 3lbs in Fluid. I know lemon is a natural diuretic and it might soothe your throat from all the drainage too. Feel better soon.

Thanks Candy! I'll try the lemon thing. I know I'll lose it after my fill but I just want to do it before. It's like a personal goal for me. I have to get on the treadmill now...ick!:phanvan

I made it to Twoterville!!!!!!! Woo Hoo!!!:bump2:

Okay so where is that Margarita flavored Isopure? ??? I'm at 298.5!!! It's so good to know I'll never see the 3's again!!!! Yay!!!

(I'm not getting on the scale again until next week!!)

Way to go Libra!! Congrats!

I have an appointment with my band surgeon tomorrow. I am thinking of asking about a fill. This is based on whether or not I even get to see him...I'm having insurance referral issues!! Who knew that referrals could "run out". I've been seeing him for several months now but apparently I need a fresh referral but my regular doctor's office is a mess and I doubt they'll come through and have the referral faxed to his office as requested. We'll see. Wish me luck and I'll let y'all know what happens!

Yeah Libra! I think you have the right idea, I have been weighing myself everytime I walk past that darn thing. I am down a few more 323. Maybe October will be my month to get my passport to twoterville. I'm so confident I think I'll fix my ticker. What a victory,298.5, you didn't even stop at 299.

HI guys,

Well i've had my first fill today 3mm's, and i had maintained my weight so i'm happy with that...but twoterville seems more within my sight now that i've had the fill, do you think if i work real hard i could get there in a couple of weeks???

That is my challenge to me...to be in twoterville by 14th October...watch out here I come...chooo chooo (hopefully!!)

It is so hard to not eat more than you are supposed to when you go out to eat. The food is soooo good! I have a hard time. I just hit 219. I am looking so forward to being back in the 100's. I was banded on 3/31/06 and have lost 53 pounds.

[waterlily1072 5]

YAY LIBRA :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

I am so excited for you :confused:

Indianlight, you can do anything you set your mind to, work your fill and come on over :eek:

[LapBandit 5]

Well guys, I had my appointment today and my doc was still pleased. Even though I haven't done my best this month I still managed to lose 12 pounds. I also got a small fill-1CC. I'm up to 7CC's in my VG. So, I'm officially back on track!

I'd like to join the Christmas challenge.:confused: I have no idea how fast or slow my weight loss will be after surgery. I'm hoping to drop at least 10 pounds on my Optifast preop diet. I know a lot of people don't lose any weight during the first few weeks after surgery so I'll set a conservative goal of 1 pound per week for myself.

Please add me to your list as:

Aza 317 299

My Christmas gift to myself: Membership to Twoterville!:eek:

[libra 13]

Whew!! I have almost 25 pounds to lose by Christmas!!! ***Libra gets her jiggly butt back on the treadmill***

Candy and Indianlight...YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!:gluck:

Labbandit...good for you. 12 Pounds is nothing to sneeze at. (yet another expression that makes no sense, LOL!!):confused:

[waterlily1072 5]

I hate first bite syndrome, lol as I sit here and eat my lunch. Went and got my Dr's note and a new Rx, so am officially on leave from school till after the holidays and on the road to better mental health. I am hoping to have my usual chipper, supportive, happy, hopeful, every cloud has a silver lining self back SOON!

Treadmill? excersise? hmm maybe I should try that :confused:
