I wanna see someone at goal.
I think whoever gets to goal, should be an online party.

I have had a minor setback!!
, I am at 194 with 14 pounds to go, but my doctor higly suggested taking all of my precious fluid out do to the reflux and complaications I was having, from a streched pouch..as Im lieing there crying,, he tell me not to get discouraged if i GAIN weight over the next 3 weeks.. Its my goal to stay in onderland, but he said 10 pounds is normal.. so for now a minor set back.. good news though He tells me after all things have gone back and I get a new fill that it should be easier for me to lose weight dut to a normal smaller pouch 4oz insted of the streched one I Have now,, so I am excited and hopefull!!

I went for close to 3 weeks with less than 1 cc in my band after getting stuck on something and having a lot of swelling. I vowed to not gain any weight and actually lost >8 lbs. Yes I did let myself have a few things I normally can't easily eat (hamburger with bun) but didn't have fries with that etc.
you can do it!!!!

Vegas, do you have to go on liquids or anything while you’re defilled to try to shrink your pouch back?

If it makes you feel any better, when I was last (and first) defilled, I gained 10 lbs in a glorious 2 weeks, BUT once I was re-filled, I lost it again in less time than that. It's no biggie. Enjoy your 'time off', just not TOO much. :)

Will I go for another fill? It is a question I keep asking myself over and over again. I have only had the 1 initial fill a year and a half ago (10 weeks post op). This has meant I have had only minor restriction... but that is fine as it is a tool. But... I might just need that extra kick to get to the finish line... we'll see.

Deltadawn, Tonks, I was stuck for 6 months. I went in for a fill.
At this point even a .1 or .2 fill will make a difference.
I was vomiting for a day and half. Scary experience, posted on the support board. So anyway, puked for a day, didn't eat one thing, never lost an ounce...... 
Focusing on rehydrating today and bleaching every surface in the house. DH had it, I got it next, 3 kids still healthy, knock on wood.
Stay healthy folks.
