I have lost a total of 75 lbs to date, I am in a size 16 pants and they are getting BAGGY!!!!  I have to pick up the exercise and get back to eating healthier.  My worst is that I KNOW I am not getting enough water in daily....So my goal is to exercise 3 times a week, 8 glasses of water per day, get my protein and veggies in CORRECTLY!!!! 36 lbs to go BUDDIES!!!!!

Haven't posted in a while, been so busy, stressed....life is dramatic.  So I think its why I have come to a standstill over the last  2 months with my weight loss.  I am doing better with the life stuff, so I am about to get back to my exercise routine, and eating better.  I know I am tight enough, but I have been so stressed that I havent eaten enough I think.  So I am going to watch my protein intake better as well....stuck at 193...but am still so happy about it!!!!

Sorry I haven't posted in a long time.  Let's see...I reached my next goal of under 200 by my birthday!!! I am now 197, and my birthday is June 23.  I am fitting all my old clothes and these size 18's are really getting a little baggy.  But I am not getting into these 16's quite yet...I will.   I haven't had a fill since my fourth in February.  I think my restriction is just right.  I see Dr. Schuster next week.

Hey all sorry I haven't posted in a while.  About 2 1/2 weeks ago I got my 4th fill and Dr. Schuster gave me 1 whole ml.  I think  there is almost 7ml in my band now....anyways,  your girl has some serious restriction.  I HAVE LOST 10 LBS IN THE LAST 2 1/2 WEEKS!!!!!   Loving that.   I  am 212 as of today almost 50 lbs since surgery!!!!

I only got 0.25 ml on this fill...but it is enough, I have really good restriction.  I joined CURVES 3 weeks ago and I really like going there.   I don't ever feel self-conscious there.  So 30 lbs down and counting...I hope to lose 15 more by the end of the year, but the Dr. said I should only try to lost 8-10..so we will see....

I get my 3rd fill next weeek.  I am a little apprehensive because I have finally started realizing how I have to eat differently.  It is a learning process and I am still messing up and getting sick sometimes, so to get filled is a little scary to me...but I am doing much better and have learned a lot about what I can tolerate and what I can not.  For my 1st meal of the day I have to eat something like scrambled eggs, oatmeal or grits....anything "bulkier" does not go well.  And I have learned that I can usually eat more and tolerate more types of food at luch time....is that wierd?  Supper is fine, just taking it slowly.   I know that I can tolerate the food if I  SLOW down and CHEW well....but old habits are hard to break and this learning process is hard...but I am getting there...oh yeah and 29 lbs gone since surgery!!!!  I hope to lose 1 more before my next fill to make it 30....

On Wednesday  I got my 2nd fill...it was 3.2 ml...so  i have a total of 5.8 ml in my 10 ml band.  And i am so happy that i can barely eat anything....i get so full so quickly and i am so excited.  i am eager to see if my weight loss picks up...i have been averaging 1.5-2 lbs per week.  So fat gurl be gone!!!!   I would have never thought that i would be so happy to be unable to to eat...lol

I got a 2.6 ml fill on Friday....i thought at the time it was enough, but I think  I can still eat too much....No matter  iam still not eating as much as before the band.

Wow...I didn't  think  that  I   would be so nervous about getting hungry!!! I am 3 weeks out and am finding myself getting hungry...wanting to eat like old times....so I have really been watching my calories and exercising.  I have been discouraged by the decrease in weight loss this last 2 weeks.  Dr Schuster said I would level out before the first fill...but I am so ready to get on with this weight loss!!! Lets do it!!! So when I am getting hungry between meals, I am finding myself getting very nervous...fill scheduled for August 22.  Everyone at work is saying they] can tell I have lost some weight...I hope so...but are they just being nice??? LOL...

I had my incisions checked out today!!! All is good.  Those damn steristrips had to come off a little early--they caused a big blister, but it is all better.  Dr. says my sites all look good and I went ahead and made an appointment for Aug 22, for my first fill.  That makes me nervous...but excited...ready to  get on with it!!!!  Oh yeah...14 lbs down!!!!
