LOL!! We are so funny!

I love WillT...nuff said!! LOL

Thanks so much for the compliments!! It really keeps me going. I don't know what I would do without all of you and your support. Callicat~Yes girl, send me that info! I am SO sorry!!! >

This is very common. My bestfriend who was banded with me had no restriction at all from the band. As a matter of fact, he just felt his first restriction after his 2nd fill. Just be patient and don't get upset. > The restriction will come!

Yeah what they said. LOL Good luck to you!!

I had a problem with vomitting and I would call the OCC and Dr. Martinez would always call me right back with great advice.

I am glad you had fun. You are gorgeous!!

For the first week or so you won't want anything to eat at all so don't worry about that. The last two weeks are harder..the last week will kill you. LOL You can do it if you set your mind to it. It takes some willpower, but if you are willing to have this life changing surgery then you have already made up your mind that you CAN do it!!

I waited 6-7 weeks to get my first fill. I really needed one too! I couldn't tell much restriction about my first fill either.

I never even feel the needle go in. You will be fine!

I hope your fill brings great restriction!!

Hahahaha Julie! Thank you!

Me and my husband, Tommy My sweet Brady and Isabella Continued on down!!

You are showing remarkable detemination. The pounds will start to fall off soon.

I know it a little sad, but overall it is a happy feeling to make such healthy choices for yourself as well as your family. I come from a huge eating family myself so I know how you feel.

We are going to the Grandparents for a BBQ and then going to watch fireworks on the beach.

Oh and I forgot to say your new camera is fabulous! The difference in the color is amazing. I bought a Canon Rebel SLR when I had my kids and I am obsessed with it. It is one of the best purchases I ever made. A good camera makes all the difference!

Lori~ Does this message board have the option to turn on chat? The one I own does so I thought this one may too. That would make it very easy for us to chat.

I was supposed to send my size 20 clothes to someone and for the life of me I can't remember who it was! I am so sorry! Please send me a PM and I will get them off to you if you still need them. It is mainly jeans and shorts. I gave all my shirts to my Mom. Also, I had to share this news! I bought some size 16 jeans at Old Navy and wore them once about 2 months ago. They were very tight. I rarely wear jeans cuz it is so darn hot, but I put them on this morning and they fell to the ground! Off to a size 14 I go..who would've thunk it? LOL I am on cloud 9!

For 3 weeks straight now I have been sitting at 190...sometimes I get down to 188 or 189 and then Bam...it's back to 190. I am eating 1200 calories a day, drinking my water, and getting my exercise in. I know it is just a plateau, but how can I break it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Gum doesn't bother me at all. Just try it and see.

Excellent info. Thanks!

Great post! Happy 4th of July everyone!!

Michelle, you look so awesome! I just want you to know that you are my inspiration. I think you do such a wonderful job with your band. Keep up the great work!
