Where is everyone?

Where is everyone? I hope you are all too busy exercising to give us an update and not because you are all frustrated in bandster hell!

Juniper?

Unforgetable?

Bobbie?

that's all I can think off the top of my head...

Everyone else? :biggrin:

Seriously, hope everyone is doing well....

I'm still here....just really busy lately. I haven't had much time to post.

I finally had my first fill (& I have to wait 8 weeks for another!), and it seems to help some. I am losing weight, but ever so slowly. I am so close to getting to ONEderland. That will be a great milestone for me. Haven't seen that in a while!

Anyway, before I had my fill, I could eat anything. I mean ANYTHING! Now, I notice I am having a harder time with bread, and I am starting to have to slow down and chew more. Had a couple of stuck episodes. I had a couple before, but they were over quickly. Had one on Saturday that went on for about an hour. No matter what I did, it just stayed there. I sure don't want to do that again, but I have to remind myself to eat slowly and chew and chew and chew!

I hope everyone is doing well. I've been kind of following all you 7/7 bandster sisters, and haven't heard much bad, mostly good stuff. I hope that means we are on our way to HEALTHY!!!!

Happy Monday. I am going to post my weight in the weigh in thread. I've not been very consistent about that, but I am going to do better!:biggrin:

Hola! I have been MIA for awhile...they changed something with the firewalls @ work and it was a restricted site for awhile! :smile2:

Doing well! I have signed up for a 5k this saturday and another the following saturday. I have had 2 fills now...man do they hurt! But I haven't had any issues with the PBs, port pain, or bandster hell...and I am trying to be optimistic that I wont!:bored:

The hardest thing for me lately has been eating habits...when I get stressed and busy during the day I tend to forget to eat and then am starving when I get home. And work has been BANANAS!! So I am trying to get better and remember to eat lunch and drink my Protein Snacks...this really is a complete lifestyle overhaul and I'm still proud of me - and ALL of you - for accomplishing what we have so far, even if we screw up once in awhile

Hi!!! I'm here - i was posting all over the place at one point..i wondered how everyone was too~~~I had been voicing my frustration at things going soooo slowly..up down up down by a lb or so....

Anyway...i got my 2nd fill this afternoon...i have an 11cc band..first fill was 5cc - today he put in 2 more cc's. The good thing is...he told me not to wait 6 weeks..that if i need to come in at 4 weeks, to do so - so i did schedule 4 weeks out. If i see after the next few weeks that the 2nd fill is working, i'll hold off and put the appt off - but at least its made.

I keep thinking at 7cc's in an 11cc band..you would think i'd feel something...lets hope so!

I guess i expected to eat..and then feel very full and unable to eat any more...and i just have never felt that.

Get this..the other day i went to red lobster..and for the first time since 6/23, i wasnt very good - i had 2 of their cheesy killer bisquits...1/2 of my shrimp caesar salad (they're big there)...a couple of motzarella sticks...doesnt that seem like wayyyy to much to be able to eat????

Luckily i was at the fair all that day--very active..i didnt gain..lol.

Hi, I'm here too. Been MIA for a while. But doing ok. Had a few complications and upsets, but hopefully everything is fine now! I too find I can eat too much. I don't get a 'full' feeling. Maybe that's my problem. Never really had itbefore, hense the eating problem.... hope all you other bangsters are well... will be back more regularily soon.

Promise!

I don't think I've posted in any of the July 09 threads. Anyway, I'm having trouble remembering to eat slowly. Ever since my fill on 9/10, I've had small PB episodes almost every day, even on Soup, which had some tough meat in it. I went up a bit when I ran out of some of my meds, but now I'm back to where I was, down 69.3 pounds. I'm eager to get more recipes and plan better, so I can use the crock-pot more often.

Good luck everyone!
