You can do a Google image search for a picture that you like, and you can get the glitter graphics at glittermaker.com.

Hi-
Very happy to be a nymph! I was banded on the 19th, first fill was 1-3 and I'm down 36 pounds as of this morning. YOU GUYS ARE SUCH AN INSPIRATION! Thanks to all for your support.

Wow Lisa, you have me beat. I had surgery 11-19, first fill 1/2/08 and I am down 24 lbs. I did not gain over the holidays, which I am thrilled about. I am obviously one that needs the fills b/c even eating only 1/2 cup of the post-op diet regulated food and 800-1200 calories a day (and exercising) I haven't lost with that. I am already noticing a big difference with my first fill. Last night I was unable to eat 1/2 cup of soup. I am anxious for the scale to start moving consistently. What I have lost has been from the clear liquid diet post-op and 2 days post-fill.

Everyone is doing great! Let's keep it up!

Hey crispy!
Haven't talked to you in awhile. You sound like you're doing really well. I saw that your fill was 4cc's. I only got 2 but I have noticed a difference. I can eat but not a whole lot. I sure was glad to get off the clears and have solid food again-weren't you?? I'm still being careful about what I eat and how much. After all this I've finally decided to TOTALLY change my outlook-I finally feel like there's hope after all. You hang in there...you're doing great!!...and it's really nice to "talk" to you again...good luck girl!!!

I just stepped on the scale and am down to 357 from 360 last week and the week before that too. It feels good to be back on the downward slide again!

I swear! These jeans I just bought last week seem to be loosening up too. Maybe in another week or so, I can buy size 44 jeans! I cant wait to get past the 50 pound mark! I am hunting this weekend so that will mean LOTS OF WALKING! I will probably going to lose quite a bit by the time I weigh next time. I will probably skip a week because I am going to Denver next week and won't have access to my docs scale! Ya think Dr. K in Denver will let me step on his scale?

had my second fill today...so liquids for me. i am down to 304-305...nurse thinks this fill we hold me for awhile. i hope so.

I am down 31 since surgery - the scale has shown me down as much as 36 but i am going with the average weight - and I have not had a fill yet

bebers · 01-17-2008, 07:23 PM

I'm jealours. I'm only down 12 pounds since surgery (no fill yet). Is there something wrong with me? Or are you all just exceptional?

kickrmom · 01-17-2008, 08:28 PM

Looks like everyone is doing great.
I have lost 15 since surgery. I'm disappointed because I am able to eat way too much. Second fill is in Feb. So I'm really fighting the urge to eat more than I should. I hope I can get through this. Some days are pretty depressing.
Good to hear it's working for you all. Congrats.

bebers · 01-18-2008, 12:17 PM

Kickrmom,
Don't be down. For starters, when was the last time you lost 15lbs in so short of time and thru the Holidays? I usually gain 10 lbs during the Holidays. I understand it can take several fills to get good restriction. I'm in the same place. So I told myself, I will try to lose 1lb a week (on my own, since I have no restriction right now). For a short time I can do this, I am a professional dieter. However, I have the band because I can not be good forever and I always gain back. We will get there. The band does work. Just that some of us have to wait longer for the fills to work.

Hey Berbers,
thanks so much for your support. I really appreciate it.
I will try to remeber the things you've said.
I was down your way today. Went to see Cirque Du Soleil in Del Mar. Cool show.
Thanks again and good luck to you also.

I could not be happier with my success to date...40 pounds down and I made my first goal.....I wanted to be down 40 by the time I see my surgeon for my appointment on Feb 7th.

My next Goal is 199 by June 1st. I am hoping beyond hope that I can make this one too.....I am working hard to get there. I love my new life and my Best Friend BAND!! He keeps me on the narrow path of healthy eating and I never forget he is there. I want him to stay well and healthy too!!

I am thrilled with the weight loss to date!!

life_change · 01-27-2008, 10:46 PM

I have lost 24 lbs since surgery date. I had my first fill and it's not my sweet spot. I really have to stop myself. However, I am going back to the doctor on February 4, 2008 and I can't wait. Hopefully, I can get some restriction.
