Went to my LB Doc today....was so excited to weigh-in but then my "monthly" came on this morning!!!!! that puts 3-5 pounds on me (temporarily) every time!!! :) but i still weighed in 18 pounds down!!! so that means I could be as much as 23 pounds down!! love it! I return to my general doc Fri (which is the original scale that I weighed in pre-op). So I can weigh-in there and get an accurate reading!!! BTW-the nurse made a mistake when she logged my weight originally (today) and ADDED 5 pounds!!:cool2: I was so upset when the doc read my chart to me that he let me weigh again and sure enough, I was right!!! :thumbup:He fixed her mistake on my chart!! everything else checked out fine. I'm exactly 2 months and 1 day post op. the doc and the nutritionalist were both pleased all around. I am going for a 3rd fill Wednesday (6/30)....just a little should do it b/c I can tell that I'm almost there! :thumbup: The nurse says that it seems like I need one more fill.

Great news. Can you explain to me how you know just a little more will do it? I just was banded last week and I am a little confused by the fills.

@ 2excited: well.... (I think) I know b/c right now i just prepare the portion that I should be having at each sitting (as confirmed by the Doc & nutritionalist) and I eat that, but i could eat more, I just dont. I make myself stop. the fact that i could eat more tells me that I'm not full BUT.... I'm not starving after and I dont get hungry again for the right number of hours (5).... So that tells me that I'm stopping very close to where my band (if adjusted properly) would stop me anyway..... The nurse pretty much said the same thing. she also asked me if anything was getting stuck and if i ever feel like "one more bite would make me vomit". Nope-----> So she also said that I need another fill to hit my Sweet Spot.

Nice! Congrats on the weight loss and feeling good :-). Thanks for your definition, too. I had my first fill today and wondered about "how you know". :-). Have a good night!
