You are looking GREAT!!!
I hear you on the bad fat days.
Just yesterday, I looked at the apants I was going to wear (and have worn) and thought, "Those won't fit me."
Most days the body image is much closer to the reality of the weight lose.
Keep on keeping on!!!

Wow, we must be twins, I have not lost anything for at least eight weeks, but I feel wonderful physically.  but mentally, I'm wondering to myself when is this fit thing going fill in.  I'm at 7.5cc, my doctor did a test on my band and at 8.5 I felt like I couldn't swallow a thing, so I guess we should hit that perfect spot soon...
Don't give up
We've come to far to stop

I had the realize band 3-19-08. For some reason my surgeon is going back to lap band now. I understand they are similar. I am at 8.9 ccs and still not feeling I am there yet! The fills seem to only work WELL for 1 week then I can eat 4-5 ounces with no problem!  Many times a day. My weight has been the same for 4 weeks. I feel sad it seems to have just stopped

Kandy,
Congrats on your success thus far!!!
I had to giggle when I saw your response to the "you look great"
I also tell people that I feel great and that is the most important.
I am not sure they understand, but those of us on this journey surely get it!!!
Jennifer
