I went out and bought the Magic Bullet also. I used it it a few times while on liquids and it works great! I bought mine at walmart for about $50.

WOW!! What a beautiful story. I teared up some when I read how ya'll found each other. Both of you look amazingly wonderful!

I had them once, but I didn't eat the skin.

Yay! I love to hear everyone's stories....I knew you would do great! I also had diarrhea for a couple of weeks after I was banded. I guess it stems from liquid in and liquid out. I am so glad to hear everything went well. Welcome to Bandland!

Cathy~ It is hard, but I just eat what I would think I would if I had restriction! LOL I am sure my stomach itself has shrunk in the past 3 months. I eat a slim fast shake for breakfast, a protein bar for lunch, and a small supper. I don't drink any liquid calories and get my water in. My next fill is hopefully gonna be July 10th if I can get in, but I am scheduled for August 3rd so we shall see! If you are still getting really full with a few bites when it is time for your fill, you may want to wait. If you are still that restricted and get a fill you may not even be able to swallow. Just wait and see how your restriction is closer to your fill date. By the way that is great that you have good restriction from the band itself. Not everybody gets that. I had it for 8 weeks and that's why I dropped so much so fast ...so you can look forward to that too!

You are gonna do so great! I can't wait to hear your story. Be careful and once you get back you will be "on the other side!" LOL

Great post, Jann! We should all print it out and hang it on the fridge door.

You have nothing to worry about..it will all be fine!

I hope this fill works for you Mona!

The surgery and band alone gave me major restriction for the first 8 weeks or so. My restriction was almost gone when I got my first fill and now I have none.

Jim, I am so very sorry for the loss of your son. I can't even think of the words to say to help comfort you. Please stay close to your loved ones uring this time and know that we are here for you. God Bless your family.

You will be fine and do wonderful! My only advice is don't expect a miracle..you have to work with the band and be determined! You can do it!

What a wonderful new way for you to feel better about yourself! Way to go Paula!! Now if I can just start exercising more...

It will show soon. Your body may be in starvation mode. You are doing great..just hang in there!!

That is wonderful!! Way to go! I have been struggling to get in the 180's myself, and this morning I weighed 188! I almost fell out from excitement! This is a slow process, but it works!

Wow! That is a huge difference! You are looking marvelous, darling!!

Wooo Hooo! Sugar Daddy, for sure! <~~~~Lovin me some WillT!!

Welcome to our group! Congrats on your sucess and I wish you much more!

Maybe most of them don't have a myspace? That's what I figured anyway.

LMAO!!

Amber that cracked me up!! Haha..So true!

Hi Mona! We have missed you around here. I hope you get a good fill this time!

WOW!!! You look HOT!! You should be very proud of yourself!

Congrats on such a huge step! I promise you won't regret it!
