Jenn, are you there?
I'm here, kinda lurking because my freakin computer at home is super slow, you would swear to god that I had dial up. I think its time to invest in a new computer. Half the time it just freezes up on me so I'm lucky just to get on here and read what everyone has been up to.
I'm glad you got another appointment so soon. I've been doing alright but I think it is mostly due to will power because I don't feel any restriction. I still can eat whatever I want and if I really wanted to get carried away, I could eat more than a cup. I would love to call down there for another appointment but I am thinking it would be too soon since I was just there a couple of weeks ago. My biggest problem right now is taking 20 minutes to eat. I chew everything really really well but it still does not take me 20 minutes to eat, does anyone else have this problem?

Jenn!!!! 46 pounds in what? about 10 weeks!!! That is awesome! You will be at goal in no time at all. I'm hoping to be able to have it off by my birthday in April. That would be just short of one year since surgery. According to my scales I am down between 45-47 pounds (it varies) but that is since my first visit on January 22/09. So, I am losing an average of 10 a month and you are averaging 10 every 2 weeks!!! I think Charline pointed out earlier that our OLD metabolism just won't/can't keep up with the youngsters LOL Guess this should be a message to anyone considering WLS "the sooner the better" "don't wait 'til you are 50 something and decide to go for it"
I'm really happy for you Jenn! You are working that band to its full potential. Sometimes when the band just isn't providing enough restriction you do have to rely on good old will power and I would say you are doing just that. Keep it it and you will be there before you know it! How many more pounds until you reach goal weight?
I totally know what you mean about S-L-O-W I am on dial up. It has taken me 36 minutes to read today's posts and reply. grrrrrrr.
