It's hard for me too. But I keep thinking I can't risk hurting myself or stretching anything. TJ is op far away lol... So ill suck it up and keep going (insert tantrum and feeling sorry for myself here lol) in another couple months this will all be a distant memory lol. So how are you doing then? Are you eating mushies?

hey Bos123. How are you doing? im only down 22 lbs. (banded 11/27). I really wanted to hit 30 by first week of January. The weight loss has seemed to slow down. I have eaten a few things i shouldn't have. But I never overate. So hopefully my stomach is ok. Hope you are doing well.

Thanks stiff! Thing are going really well! My date was dec 3, and I've lost 23 PDs... Granted I was sick for three weeks... A bad chest cold/ strep throat! Unreal hey... So cold up here stupid weather! Anyways Monday will be four weeks and I've started soft food. Had a stall for almost two weeks but started the food am lost four pounds. So I think now that my cold is getting better ( minus the crazy coughing) I am excited for the new year to come, get some energy back and start excersizing. My clothes fit better, I'm gonna take my measurements again Monday...
