Recent complement that made me LMAO..."Your so pretty, have you ever thought about getting your boobs done?"

I am doing okay. I have not lost anything in the last week due to TOM and MAJOR water retention. I am okay with it though and I am just being patient and waiting it out. I am already at ideal restriction so I cant go back for another fill any time soon. I know I need to drink more water. Good luck on your 3rd fill.

LMAO!!! Never thought of it that way, but it does ROCk doesnt it?!?!?

Congrats Tristessa!!! That IS the BEST present ever!!! Hugs to you!!

You are not rushing and should NOT feel guilty about going back for another fill after 3 weeks. It is your body and you should be the one to decide what is best for you. If you have no restriction then you need another fill, period. This is YOUR investment - not anyone elses.

No, actually I got it from www.lapbandtalk.com, from the WW group.

I drank it. I had the tomato & tamato parmesan. The rule of thumb I went by was if I could drink it without chewing I could have it. Especially if I could drink it with a straw in theory.

Thanks for the props!! I am enjoying the 50s like you wouldnt believe! way too many keylime pie martinis and a lot of compliments (even if they are from men at bars...did I just say that?!?!) The size 12s are getting a bit baggy on me. Can't wait for the size 10s!!! You will be here with me soon enough. Once you have restiction there is no going back!

Yep, yep, yep!!! Work those abs! I still do not do ab work perse but there are a lot of excercises that work your "core" without having to rely on crunches or sit-ups. Do yoga and/or pilates to target your abs without the impact of crunches or sit-ups.

Sorry to hear about another bad experience. It sounds like this guy is too scared and paranoid to do anything. Glad you are going to the doctor Sabrina mentioned and cant wait to hear about it.

Are you in pain? Is there a noticable difference at all? How unusual for a slippage. Take care of yourself. & keep us posted.

OMG!! What are you going to do about the slippage??? Is there anything you can do that does not involve removal? What kind of band? Did you get it at the OCC? Are they going to fix it?

LOL!!! Your funny! Thanks, the keylime pie martinis have been great for detox the morning after

Thanks Odette for the pat on the back. We need all we can get considering we have to work for every single pound

Thank you! I am so excited and cant wait for the next part of this journey to begin! I have decide just to take it 10 pounds at a time and see how I feel at each interval. I am not focused on the end result anymore. Very liberating.

Thanks you, I know I am still far from goal but it is these little ones that make the journey so much more bareable.

Angie,

I just got done wathching your video you did today for proofwlsworks and I have to tell you that your eyes and hair look AMAZING!!! WOW! You have lost a lot of weight in your face recently!! You are one hot momma!

Thanks! I am glad it kicked in too but still debating whether or not I need slight unfill. I am doing good though so I think I will let this one ride.

Me too It must be something in the air...I was chating with a friend on facebook last night and she said she had the blues really bad too. I actually felt like crying last night but didnt. I just prayed to feel better. I will pray for you too

Soooooo? Did you go get your fill fixed?

A "good" first fill would be 4cc, however, most people do not have restriction at 4cc. Some people have reported restriction on their first fill with 5cc. If you want restriction (even a litle bit) I think you need 5cc. He should be making you drink water as you are being filled, then when you notice that the water no longer goes down easy that mean you hit the limit.

Jojo darling, you make me want to scream! You have an 11cc band & therefore 2cc is NOT enough! In order for you to feel any type of restriction you are going to need at least 5cc. I would have asked for 5 myself. You need to go back and get another 3cc at least.

Thanks! I needed something to lift the spirits and it sort of worked

Darling, first of all welcome to Onederland, second, You know what I do when my son has pizza like tonight? I literally lock myself in my room, get on youtube and watch bandster videos for inspiration. It also does not hurt remembering that pizza is a major OUCH when you have restriction like I do. I took a bite the other night and thought I was dying.

Nothing much, just enjoying my quiet, clean bedroom.
