By J_BandRanger

· 308 views

my 1st fill was 3 weeks ago...i got 3.75 cc but felt NO restrictions!!! I WAS STARVING!!!

today the doc put in another 5 cc (which he said was a "record" all at once)....that brings me up to 8.75 w/my 2nd fill!!!

I'm on liquids right now and everything is going down fine... i hope! hope! hope! that i feel some restrictions when i start my mushies & food! [my surgery was 4/27... i have a 11 capacity Realize band.... I havent weighed in yet....]

I can't "weight" to start loosing weight!! :eek:

    A total of 8.75 cc that's alot for your 2nd fill! You feel NO tightness at all? The doctor's say the band works for most, but there is a small percentage where it does not I hope you do not fall in that percertage. And you should get in the scale it my surprise you, you may fine out that you lost some weight, do not be afraid of that scale any more the scale is your new friend say hello to it and ask it to be nice.. LOL

    Am on the scale so much my husband tells me you on it again.. I live on that scale grins..Get on that scale.

    Best of luck to you! CHECK OUT MY BLOG IT MAY HELP WITH FOOD TIPS.

    my home scale broke when we moved (2 years ago). my bathroom is so small that i never replaced it - b/c i have no room for it! i only weigh in when i go to a doctor's ofc. i try to judge my weight loss by the way my jeans fit (doesnt seem like i lost anything). I'm afraid to weigh-in and be disappointed b/c Im kind of a perfectionist and i might give up if i havent lost any weight! i go to my Doc june 28th...... i'll see then....I can start on my "mushie/straw" diet tomorrow. so i should be able to tell if i feel any restrictions then.....
