  1. Although I weigh more, I am now wearing the same size clothes I wore in school. What a rush.

  2. Booked my first fill. Will be going to the NW fill center in Marysville WA on 9/30. More nervouse about this than I was about the surgery. What is up with that???

      oh its quick...I use them too. Yes you want lidocaine prior to your fill!

      How did the first fill go?

  3. Cannot beleive how much more energy I have. I am having the time of my life.

  4. Chemical peel went fabulous. Two weeks till Laser treatment. Total day of pampering accomplished - hair, nails, peel. Can't remember when I treated myself so well.

      Kudos to you on pampering yourself, you deserve it!

  5. Finally I have gotten back to reality. Holiday season really kicked my butt. I am now journalling my food and exercise and feel better for it. Luckily I only gained back 4 lbs through the holiday blues. It was not unexpected as I had lost my mother last year on Christmas day and knew that it would spiral me down for a while, but I AM BACK

  6. First day on solids. Had Shelly's Ham & Cheese Breakfast bites and LOVED THEM. Great way to start eating.

  7. got over 2 feet of snow last night, so my first exercise of the day was shoveling out.,

  8. Great job, keep it up. It only gets better.

  9. Had a consult with a licensed medical aesthetic practitioner this morning. I am going to follow up on her suggestions for reducing the effects of my weight loss from my face. First appt will be for a light chemical peel with extractions. Cross your fingers

      I've had great results with chemical peels - specifically TCA.

  10. Had Perlane injections to decrease my facial parenthesis today. Can already see a difference. What a great xmas gift.

  11. half way for my 5% loss for surgery and 13 days to go.

  12. Happy thanksgiving to all my wonderful WLS friends

  13. Have chosen to do 2 days of liquid diet to refresh my senses on what I am trying to accomplish.

      you look amazing, i am so proud of you. i have 30 more pounds to go.

  14. Hi, I'm so excited for you. You will love your journey. I was banded on 8/3/10 and am down 35 lbs from decision day. It is truly awesome.

  15. I also am wondering how long before the liquid bandage can be washed off, it is extremely annoying.

  16. I also make that decision about 3 weeks ago. It was basicly becoming a dust collector. Great job

  17. I caved and ate too much today and if the feeling I feel right now is anything like what I will feel if I ever eat to much after banding, let's hope I remember this and stop. Just whining, don't pay any attention to me.

  18. I want to own the mirror at my doctors office. It was the first time I looked in a mirror and saw smaller.

  19. I'm a newbie as well but have to say these wonderful people on the forums are the greatest support you can find.

  20. I'm excited for you, keep us all posted on how you are doing.

  21. i'm excited for you. I have 19 days before surgery and can't wait.

  22. I'm starting to "cheat" and not happy about it. Need to refocus

      You can do it! It's not easy but hang in there. Jump back on the wagon. :-)

      you can do it Em! I'm not far behind you. inadvertently cheated last night.

  23. It is very sad when the one that should be most supportive of you decides to choose another route and it does not match the one you are on.

      I am a bit confused by what you mean by this but if the one you depend on most to support you cannot, you are better off without them.

      it is the leaving that is difficult. Separtating is always trying, even if we know it is for the best.

  24. Just spoke to Dr So at the OCC and we determined that I still am not in need of my first fill. I think I was going to use it as an excuse to not make myself behave. Glad I talked to him.

      ok I just sent you an email from your profile page. I'm dying how you decided to wait till now also.

      I waited till now as i have been losing ~2 lbs a week or more since being banded. In the last week or so, I feel I could eat more but am learning to "eat just till satisfied not to full" (quote from Dr. So

      Lapband92410

      Oh oh! I wonder if I should have waited. I am still loosing but desperately hungry all the time. I eat about a third of what I used to eat and I am not even close to satisfied. Just afraid to overeat cause I don't know how the band will punish me.

  25. losing weight again. I can't remember when I was this calm about plateauing. What a wonderful gift the band has allowed me to have.
