Angie I think you are doing great. I went back and looked at my stats and I guess about 6 months is when it started really slowing down for me. I have not had a fill in almost 6 months and I am really debating getting a "tweek", is that even a word..lol....I did contact the local Doctor hear and talked with them. I am going to call back on Monday and see if they will take me this coming week due to my GB Surgery, I might not can see them until my Doctor releases me and I might out to wait anyway for the gas and swelling to go down. My sister thinks I am crazy for wanting another fill right now, she thinks I should wait until after the Holidays so that I can eat???????? Is that not just too funny!...lol Anyway just want to say Im glad that you are still kicking! I have LOVED the visuals that you have been posting, I think it will help so many people understand!!! Again you are AMAZING and I just LOVE Ya!

Carrie - Girl you sure do know how to perk a persons spirit up. My stats are not to impressive. For me, this has been something it has taken me time to wrap my head around. I knew going in this was a slower weight loss, that the tool was not going to do all the work for me. Still I had expectations of my success, which really messed with my head. For the most part I have gotten over that part. Still has it's flare up moments. For me, I lost 4 lbs on the liquid diet. That blew me away. Now, I look at it like this. ....that is a time of healing for my body.

When I lost the 100lbs before I did it in a year. No band to help. So I guess I figured my loss would be a little bit better. Reading how people can loose 6-8 lbs a week really was impressive. That has not been my story. I have however lost 40 lbs so far and i have 5 months to go to round out the year. Which is a pretty impressive weight loss, so what the heck is there to get my panties in a bunch for?!?

I am so glad we are friends, I really appreciate you so much!!!!
