Hello all,

Just thought I would let you know I have updated my avatar and posted a couple of new pics.  I finally got the scales moving again. Down 1 more pound.  Every little bit helps.

Hi Vera, you look great!!  Congrats on getting the scale moving again.  Just a few questions from one recent lap-bander to another, please.....Have you had a fill yet?  Are you keeping a food journal?  I was wondering approximately how many calories you are getting in daily. I've lost 31 pounds, but I think I have hit a plateau, tho the inches are coming off like mad!  I have not had a fill yet, and still have 3 weeks to go til that first one.  I'm definitely hungrier these days.

Cara,

I have had one fill and it really helped.  I actually emailed the PA in my dr office and told her that I seemed to be stuck and that I was getting hungry quicker and it did not seem like my meal was lasting more that 1.5 to 2 hours and I was ready to eat again and they moved my appointment up. Like the next day!!!  The fill has really helped.  I must confess that I have not been keeping a journal like I should.  I am trying to get in the habit but it is really hard for me.  I am working out more and I also feel like when the scales were not moving I was losing inches so I measured to find out and sure enough they were disappearing. 

I would call or email my Dr office if you feel that you need the fill early. 

Thanks for the compliments and good luck to you.

Annette,

Thank you.  I sometimes feel that I am not working hard enough, but I do feel a bit of accomplishment when I look at the pictures together.

I am glad that you are improving with time.  Hope you will be turning cartwheels soon.
