September Bandsters

BJean, it wasn't me exercising 3 hours a day - I am lucky if I can get in an hour a day! I'm trying to do three days of cardio and two days of weights...

I saw my Dr. today and I get my second fill on Fri morning at 10AM,:clap2: I am very excited about that. My food does not last 3 -4 hours after I eat, I am hungry after 1 1/2 hours. So he said it was time and Fri. will be 6 weeks since the last one.
Later.

OK I'm back. No loss but no gain either. And on reflection, that is a miracle. We took 3 teenagers and a 9 year old to Washington D.C. and have had several birthday parties, 2 directors meetings in Okla. that I had to fly to and stay out of town several days at a time, incredible job stress, Thanksgiving, and guests for the past 2 weeks and I have not gained a pound. WoooooHoooooooooo!!! You guys have perked me right up! Thanks. AND...I am ready to start again and keep going down. Katt

Not me! I just joined an exercise club, but haven't developed a habit, yet. As a matter of fact, I haven't been in over a week. Gotta get off the 'puter, and onto the treadmill!

Karey, I'm glad that water weight came back off so quickly!

I'll know today whether I'm still having trouble eating. I stuck with liquids the past two days. Unfortunately, they weren't necessarily the best liquids, though. I searched all around for a Smoothie place yesterday for lunch but couldn't find one. So, I decided that a milkshake couldn't be all that bad. OMG, my advice...don't EVER get a Chick-fil-a chocolate milkshake. When I got home, I checked the website, and that sucker was over 700 calories! And it was orgasmic! I'll never get my Chick-fil-a milkshake virginity back again, so I'll have to rely on good old abstinence!

Hi all-

I haven't been on-line in a while...so I thought I should try and get back into the groove of things.

I went in for my first fill on the Monday the 27th..
I have the V.G. Band, and I got 4.8 cc's

I was happy, I wanted at least 4 cc's
We'll see how much restriction I feel in a week or two..
Wish me luck!

2nd fill 6 cc's total 1/13/07

I was banded on 9/1/06...to date I have lost 25 lbs. My 2nd fill they over filled me. I had them draw .5cc out. It has been 3 weeks since they took it out and now I am trying to determine weather or not I should go back in and have them put maybe 1/2 that amount in? I do not feel that I am loosing the correct amount of weight each month. Any suggestions?

MOM- my weigh-in for the week is 297. I am so excited.

Second fill on Wednesday of last week and already 4 pounds down.
