Erin Marie, don't worry, we all go up and down. It's becoming a weekly thing for me! I spoke to my doc about it, and he said that's the way everyone is. No one stays at the same weight (or loses weight) every day. The important thing is that we stay aware of our weight so it doesn't go too far up or down. What he said really made sense to me. I don't know why I always assumed that naturally thin people just stayed right at one weight. lol

So, you're in good company. Cheer up, 'cause we're here for you!!! :thumbup::thumbup:

Finally made it out of the 160's. 159.6.

I haven't had a fill since before Christmas and I am sure I need one.

I had to save every minute of time for vacation, but I will have one when I return and can spare a few hours from work.

Have a good week everyone!

Congrats, Rebecca! It's fun when you break into a new "decade" isn't it? :thumbup:

No weight loss for me this week. Today is my one-year anniversary. Hard to believe it's been a year already! It went so fast. If you haven't noticed, we started a new thread for our bandiversaries. Please check it out. :thumbup:

I've lost about a pound this week. My weight has been teetering up and down a few pounds over the last couple weeks, but this pound puts me at a new low-- FINALLY!!!

I'm working out more than ever before-- just waiting for my body to catch up Feel like I should be losing more, but sometimes it seems like there's a delay. Anyone else have that happen??

The morning of my Tummy Tuck weighed 180. after getting home the dy after surgery I weighed 190, probably due to all the fluids they put in my iv. but slowely I have been losing it since getting home. Plus I have absolutly NO appitite at all. I eat each day by forcing a cheese stick a yogurt and a few mini rice cakes. Anyways, I just got on the scalee and I was 179. yay!!! Im hoping it will go down a lot more as my swelling goes down!! Hope everyone has a great week!

Congrats, everyone! :thumbup:

@Lisa, to answer your question: YES. Lately, all the time.

That's interesting. I thought it was in my head about the weight loss delay at first, but then I started tracking my weight/exercise better. . . I also notice I definitely lose when I have my monthly cycle!

Lisa, I've just starting noticing that happening to me right before my TOM. Very odd. Then during that week, my weight shoots up and I have to struggle to get it back down. It's frustrating. *sigh*

I haven't been on the computer much lately for various reasons, but where is everyone? I think I saw a tumbleweed.....

[bevanfranks 0]

Yes, my weight definitely reacts to my cycle. It's strange!

For the past 2 weeks I've been working out 5 x week and the scale is starting to move again. However, I'm not sure how it's going to go-- trying to keep up all the exercise. I'm hoping this will just help me through my plateau, and then I can continue w/3 or 4 times per week.

My body is stubborn!

Up a bit after vacation. I'm not suprised. I'm with you Ann. Where is everyone?. I know I still need your support.

I haven't had a fill since just before Christmas so I was going to schedule one when I got home from vacation. Now I am not sure and need advice. I noticed the last month that I am having some trouble with food going down real slow and I have to wait to take another bite. The strange thing is I can eat way to much in the evening if I want to. I mean way, way to much. Yesterday morning I had my first experience with something coming back up. Boy, that is not fun at all.

Fill or not to fill? I am really unsure. I have been so trouble free, other than fills, I have not seen the Dr. They do want to see me before another fill. I guess that is a good idea.

What do you guys think about the band acting different after a year?

[SpideyMom 1]

Somehow I have managed to lose 3 lbs. this week! I've made a couple of changes in the last two weeks: I've stopped eating late at night and I've amped up my exercise. I'm 1.5 from my doctor's goal and I'm 6.5 from my own goal (want to give myself a 5-lb buffer from my doc's goal).

Rebecca, I also have been having a switch in how my band is working in the last two months. I can eat way too much in the evenings also. It really slowed down any weight loss. (See note above.) I started having what I believe are esophageal spasms when I eat -- things start to cramp up in my esophagus as they go down, including when I'm drinking sometimes. If it is food, it will sorta sit there until the spasm stops, and then it will go down, but as it sits there, it causes temporary heartburn, which is no fun. So I've started drinking a little bit during my meal, which is probably not good.

But, I'm going to see my surgeon today and talk to him about it. He had mentioned at my last appt. that he likes to have all of his patients have an x-ray after one year. Perhaps he'll do that. My guess is that he will also take out a tiny bit from my band. I don't want much out, though, because I think this is a good spot for me! I'll let you know what he says/does.

And the rest of you, come out, come out wherever you are! :frown:
