Hey all. Been awhile since I've been on. Great to see everyone is doing well. I'm down 58lbs now. Lost a bunch when I was at 3.2 cc in a 4.0 band. But it was a bit snug and had a tough time having difficulty even getting liquids down in the morning after about 3 months so I went in and had it reduced. Well, then I stopped losing weight. Was losing a consistent 2lbs/week when at 3.2 but it really stopped after the release down to 2.8. Went back in and had it filled to 3.0. Seems to be a good balance. I have to work a little harder and have started consistently exercising and have started losing again. It's not as fast or as much as I would like but I know it's healthier and more realistic.

Melissa,

Love the Haircut!!!

Sunday I managed to get 64 oz of Water in.

Monday.....almost there at 60 oz.

Tuesday.....80 oz of water!!

Wednesday and so far 64 oz.

I am getting better at it....still not scale movement though....I really think I need to get another fill!!! I still dont think I got filled last time. Remember I told you I felt a cold feeling around my port. Maybe the saline went into my body not my port??? I have very little restriction!! Hell I ate a 2 slices (small)of pizza on Sunday!!

Hello all,

I have been absent for a few days as I have been sick! Still am...have the crud! I just wanted to say hello to everybody. I am too busy here at work to read back and see who all has been posting but, I am just glad you all are here. I hope this blog goes on forever. I always worry that people will drop out and once we all loose our wght..that we won't need each other anymore. I know I will.

NSV!!!! I had to go to Target yesterday to buy a presant for my daughter and I passed these cute Trouser Jeans on the rack in the junior dept. Well, I have been wanting a pair because they are the nice dark ones that look like slack that you can wear on Casual Fridays at some work places. Well, I really didn't have the xtra money at this time but I wanted to try them on anyway to see how they looked. I grabbed the 14's and went in and tryed them on. Too big! I had the sales lady go get me the next lowest size...a 12! They fit perfect! Let me tell you, it took all of my will power not to buy them just because they had a 12 tag in them. I figured that I could buy them after Christmas if they are still there. I am on cloud nine...a size 12! I am sure it was just the brand but...a size 12! Happy Happy Joy Joy..

Doin the happy dance

Merry Christmas and Blessings to you all and your families!

Melissa - I love you haircut! I am tempted to get it myself!

Sandra - keep reminding us to drink our water..everytime I see your post I take a sip!

Manatee - Did I tell you congrads on getting into the 180's. I am so happy for you!

Ragdoll - Your numbers are looking really good. Keep up the good work!

Laura P - I agree on the six month thing. I am not being near as careful about what I put in my mouth. A cookie here, a candy there...a brownie here...six months ago I was much more careful...yet, I am still not eating near what I used to and think I may have lost at least a few pds this month. Can't wait to wgh in on Jan 1 ! If I havn't lost...it's because of the stay junk food that I'm picking at and will cut it out if that turns out to be the case!

Rachel B - So glad you came back..we can't afford to loose any of the Maybandsters...I intend to keep coming back for years and checking in...Also, you have lost 58 lbs! I am so encouraged by your numbers. I am at 3.25 cc's and yes it's tight..I sometimes pb Water when I sip it too fast..but I love my band just where it's at.

Well, y'all have a wonderful Christmas.

Blessings, Weazer

Don't you just love the compliments?! We're heading to Texas in the morning to spend time with hubby's family. They haven't seen me since July 4th when I had just gotten my first fill. I can't wait to see the looks on their faces. They are all so very kind and I know won't miss a chance to tell me how great I look. :-) I've been looking forward to this for months already!

Dear Leg,

How great! A nice trip to Texas and knowing that you'll be getting compliments in advance! Good for you!

I am at work today..came in at 3:30am if you can believe it. I couldn't sleep so I thought, why not come early. That way I'll leave early and still get some time in.

Since I last posted I had one really bad day of eating...but yesterday I made sure and get rid of any sweets in the house and I ate very healthy. I feel much better. I only have a week to wgh in so I hope to have lost 4 pds...182...here I come (I hope).

Merry Christmas!

I was banded on My 29, 2007 as of this morning I am down 88 lbs. I relly thought this would be a struggle at times. It is the best thing I have done for myself my entire life:)

I read your message about the Hair loss I was banded in may of 07 and had extreme hair loss. My surgeon told me to buy zinc and it has helped
