If it makes you feel any better, I think the more weight you have to lose, the quicker it comes off...with you having not too much to lose, it might take a bit longer. ((hug))

How are you feeling? feeling pretty good. Still have some wond issues from a large hematoma from my blood thinners. I can eat just about anything. I'm thinking about not getting a fill if I continue to lose and feel full like I do now. Not ddue for a fill until last of May so we will see if my satiety holds.
This is the best thing I have ever done.

How Am I Feeling? I have been having a rough time adjusting to life with the band. I have not experienced more energy yet but I'm looking forward to that day. I have been having a lot of chest/abdominal pain from gas (I think). I just bought some GasX today and I'm hoping that will help.
