Wow you guys have done great with your weight loss. I was banded 2 weeks to a month after most of you. But your stats are so good. I'm hoping the weight loss will pick up with my first fill next week. My nutritionist thought I was doing fine and didn't want to schedule a fill until now. She would have had me wait another month but I asked for it saying I can eat way too much. Anyway...congrats on your awesome jobs...you all are doing great.

Depressed! All I feel like I am taking 2 steps forward and 5 steps back. I lost 6 pounds in 3 days Fri, Sat and Sun well today is Saturday again and guess what??????? I have picked back up the 6 pounds. I am sooooooo very close to being less than 200, now I have 10 POUNDS to go. I am so disappointed in myself that I ate lil Debbie snack cake and subject to go out and eat all day!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just really want to be less than 200 and it seems like I am never going to get there.

Jay, don't get bummed out...it could be just Water weight. I gained like 4 pounds of water almost last night. I took a water pill to combat the effects and it is already working. I know how you feel though...I saw 201 this week!!! We will get there...I know we will.

Cissy, I hope your fill went smoothly! Are you afraid of being too tight?

Tricia, you are rolling right along. Great job!!!

I am more of a lurker here, but thought I'd post some of my NSV's and weight loss. I was banded on 9/30/05, I have two fills and I've lost 41 lbs. A big NSV I had today was I went to Sam's Club and bought a size 16 capri pant without trying them on. Got home and they are too big, I have to take them back for a 14, woo hoo. I am noticing more size loss than poundage loss. I have a hard time mentally with the fact that I am not losing more pounds, but when I try clothes on, that mental struggle goes away. I like to hear all the positive stories from everyone.

That blows me away also! I could never shop at Sam's Club (for clothes) as they don't have Women's sizes. Now, I can but I am afraid to purchase (no fitting rooms). Although, I can wear size 16's and XL, I still feel it is a fluke! Maybe the garments were made "big" and I just "happen" to fit in these sizes. My head needs time to catch up to my real size.

You've done wonderful on your weight loss. Congratulations!!:clap2:

My fill went good. He only gave me an additional 0.2cc, which brings me up to 2.6cc. I was afraid of being too tight, and although I haven't had a full-blown PB yet (knock wood) I have gotten food stuck, and I have gotten the slime once.

He told me not to come back anytime soon because my fill level is high for being only 5 months out.

HI, all. I decided to call March, March Madness. I have decided to get mad and get off my a- -. I need to walk 2 miles every other day, get my Water in, my Protein and my meds in everyday. I see so many other people losing weight. I realize its me and only me that can decide what goes on with my weight lost. I jogged a quarter of a mile Sunday and walked 2.5 miles. I felt great, my first time ever jogging since being obese. I walked 2.5 miles today and toted 3lb hand weights. I feel better about myself. I am 203 and cant wait till I see 199.5 or less. To all of you that have reached 50 or more since Sept I applaud you over and over again.

Ladies and gents of September. I can eat less than 8oz of food and I am full well 2 hours later I am hungry again. Is anyone else experiencing this. I am stuck between 200.5 and 201 for 2 weeks, do you think a fill will work.
