Friday Morning Weigh In August 7, 2009

[Shamrockgirl60 1]

Been a crazy busy summer and haven't been here much. Not lost a lot of weight but 20 pounds from goal. Today my 1 year anniversary and I am feeling great. I am just taking it one day at a time. Must call for another fill soon. Having good restriction but want a bit better. Got to get the last 20 lbs. off by next March. Another grandbaby is one the way. We are very happy. Miss C is growing like a weed and I am having so much fun taking care of her.

I hope all you August 2008 bandsters are doing well. This year flew by.

take care

I lost 3 pounds this week due to an overfill. I got a fill last Wednesday and it was only .25 and they had to take out .2 due to the fact I could not eat anything solid.:wink2: So my fill was .05. I feel so much better.

i stayed the same this weeks due to not being able to eat last weekend (nothing would go down dont know why) but once i started eating again my body just latched onto all the cals so i put on a few lbs but by fri back to the same so im happy with that.

Haven't made a weigh-in in a couple of weeks. I am down this week especially considering the climb I made when the doctor took away my Water pill with my BP meds.

I am excited about the future. I noticed in the previous post something about not being able to eat some days. I have those and I don't understand. Then last weekend, I ate a normal small meal, everything went down fine, an hour or so later I was in a tremendous amount of pain. Sharp pains close to the band. They went away but I did liquids and mushies this week. Also, my port area stays tender just about all the time. Are those things normal or should I call my doctor???

I would definitely give your doc a call. You should be able to eat your meals without any pain. Sounds like you could be too tight.

I had some port pain last fall and went in and had it checked out. The pain was from running and it has since gone away. However, the doc was initially concerned that there could be an infection - so I would definitely get an appt and discuss both issues and see what they can do!

No reason to be living with pain! That's no fun!

Oh yeah! I stayed the same this week - but I can live with it since I am not 193!

Hi everyone,

it's great to see all those tickers showing great weight losses. And it's wonderful to see the support still here among the August All-stars.

I am not getting any more fills and am in maintenance mode. I now lose and gain the same 2 lbs, depending on whether I have 'tight' days or 'loose' days.

It's apparently normal, having a few days of nothing going down, and then days when loads manage to get through the band. But you shouldn't be in pain, and I think that needs to be checked out tutormom.

Last week: 177.4

This week: 175.8

Total loss: -1.6

Lellow and Pati, good to 'see' you both. You should check in more often. You're missed.

Claudine, sounds like you're feeling better. Good.

Kristen, so happy for you! ANYTHING but 193!!!

tutornmom, please call your doc Monday. Doesn't sound right.

edel, sorry you had problems last weekend. No fun, I know!

Have a great week everyone.
