oops, it must have been a freudian slip, cause i weigh myself a million times a day but today was my baby's birthday 29 yrs old aaahhhhh! so I jumped up showered and left to go off with her for the day and didn't weigh myself. will do tomorrow.

How stupid am I ??? I should have known.. but, of course, at my age, that was many moons ago !! . I guess I can't blame my problems on that anymore !! My progress is so slow, its like .5 to 1 lb per 6 weeks down.. but the good thing is that if I hadn't gotten this band.. it would have been at least 1 lb gained per month.. I will be approaching 1 year out in November.. its been a long haul, but, next year at this time, I should be at my goal or pretty near it.. I have been reading the posts and sounds like you guys are doing awesome.. slow is ok.. and also the trick is to keep it off.. I think that its been a success unless you need to get un-filled like a couple of you have, but as soon as you start with the fills again, you get back on track..all is not lost.. just stay healthy.. you don't need any complications with being over-filled..looking forward to seeing everyone at the next meeting.. there is one in october, isn't there ?

Ah... thank you so much that is it!

Sorry, I had an Nova proceedure yesterday, it is an ablation (sp), so bottom line is, I will still get pms type symptoms but chances are really good no more bleeding at TOM, or very light spotting. No more cysts or excessive bleeding. So we will see, either way, no more 2-3 week periods.

I love my dr, if this works, then I get to keep all my parts but if it doesn't then hysterictomy would be in the future, and I don't want that.

OK well have a great day, I'm getting ready for nutrition appointment and try to jumpstart the loss again

I went to the Olive Garden yesterday and ate A LOT. I dint think it was possible but I overcame.HAHA. At first the breadstick got stuck but once it passed I was able to eat pretty much my whole bowl of Soup and a whole plate of fettucine alfredo. And it was GOOD!:smile: I only had one breadstick as I think that was the initial problem. Oh well every once in a while its good to be able to eat like a normal person and not just sit with food stuck in your in throat depressed!

Good luck this weekend girls.

O.K. I'm up again 211.6. Up 4 lbs in 3 weeks, my appt is wed. the 7th at 3pm. he better give me a fill, i could eat a horse.... I had the Same procedure last year Jenn, actually almost 2 years ago. I still get light periods at times and none other months but i am menopausal. It was wonderful not to have the heavy loooong periods any more.....

p.s. MUAH!!!

How can we help you Vicki?? Your struggle with this band makes me want to figure out what we can do? You may be one that just needs a whole lot of Fluid for it to take affect I guess. Lets us know what Hoff says.

Rain, Just knowing you care helps me a lot, I am not even sure how to help myself..I feel lost, like I cant remember how I did the 80 lbs. I don't know what happened, except that when i started getting filled and unfilled everything went crazy. I am either too tight or too loose. I could cry.:smile:

Vicki,

Have they put you under flourscope again to make sure everything is OK. I would want to know that everything is in good shape.
