It is wonderfull! Your so cute!!:smile2:

Yay Cutie!! That is cool!

I have been MIA too :smile:

Just realised it has been over a month since I've been on.

I haven't been losing for a while now (but at least I'm not gaining). I am around my sweet spot and finding it is hard.

I was overfilled, had the 1cc taken out....had 0.5cc put back in and I still am slightly too full! I have been feeling really uncomfortable eating after only a couple of mouthfuls. And that is eating slowly. I was not eating much at each sitting which was causing me to get hungry in between meals.

I had another 0.25 ish cc's taken out today.

We'll see how I feel in a few weeks. though I just had lunch and it went down great.

So fingers crossed it will be enough this time!

Ro! I was wondering where you were at! Glad you checked in. Sorry you've been having such a hard time. :smile: Sounds like you might be okay now. Hang in there and STAY IN TOUCH!!!

Hi Ro and cutie!

Nice to see you both back and posting!

And thanks for the visitor msgs you left me. I'm fine and recovering, but am still coming here to check on how everyone's going.

I'm hopefully getting refilled today because I'd gained a kg (3lbs) while i was unfilled and I suspect even more since then, and I really want to 'get back on the wagon', so to speak.

So it would be nice having my pals here to catch up with!

Ro, I'm sorry it's been such a tough time for you finding the 'perfect' spot for you. I hope with all the tweaking they're doing, they'll hit on exactly the right combination!

Lellow! You're back! How did surgery go?

You're my hero! I can't believe you've only gained 3lbs! Are you sure it isn't from surgery? Hope your fill goes well. Take good care of yourself!

heartfire, no it was definitely weight and not post surgery swelling. :( They weighed me just before I went in for surgery so I know it's all from being unfilled and eating more than I should have in the preceding week.

Though I imagine I've put on even more since then. After the op, my PS insisted that until I got refilled, that I was to eat 'heartily' so as to aid my recovery, so I have been tucking in without guilt. I figured that once I'm refilled (hopefully today) it's time to take it seriously again, but the week right after having major surgery was probably not the best time to worry about my diet. Plus, I'm swollen so I look about 4 months preggo, and so I imagine the scales would not be kind to me right now!

But now I'm ready to get my band working again and get back on track. I've made a promise to my DH that I will not weigh myself for at least a month (so not til the 1st of May) so as to allow the swelling to go down a bit. You know how obsessive I can be about numbers!!

So while losing almost 8lbs of skin, but then gaining wieght while unfilled, I'm hoping that on the 1st of May, I'll have stabilised at my 'official' goal weight of 154lbs, if not less. If I can achieve that, I'll be ecstatic.

Onederland and a body lift sound like a dream to me! You all are really an inspiration for me. I know that I can do it because I see that other people are doing it!

I will get there. My doctor really likes slow weight loss (I know I could be more determined to make it go faster on my own) so things have gone slower for me but if I don't make onederland by 7/4 (Independence Day in the US) then I definitely want to be there by my first anniversary (which is the goal approved by my doctor). I really want to do better than that because then it will leave 50 lbs for me to lose in the second year to be at goal by my 2nd anniversary (another one of my doctor's goals).

Keeping reaching for those GOALS!

Lellow~ Glad to hear the surgery went well and you are back! I bet you can't wait for the swelling to go down and get a look at the new you!

I am watching the scale and finding that 193 will not go away, not up, not down - just the same. I think it has been at least 5 weeks! Soooooo frustrating!!!

It's hard to believe the 200s ever existed at this point. I will never see that number again thanks to my sweet band. Yippee !!!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
