What is the feeling of something getting stuck? I know when I have enough or don't chew well, my chest hurts when I swallow. Is that supose to be the full feeling or what?

I have a 4cc and I have 1.5cc in my band, I felt some restiction after my second fill. I have to eat much slower and take smaller bites.

I Wish I Would Have Done This Long Ago. I Feel So Much Better About Myself. I Had Put On 95lbs In 11 Years. It Is So Awesom To See The Scale Go Down Each Week Instead Of Always Going Up. Good Luck With Your Choice!!!

Well I got my 2nd fill on March 15th. I could feel some restiction this time. I had an appointment already for March 29th, so I am still going to go to that one and see how the weight loss did and then I will decide on the 3rd one.

I put 2lbs on and noticed my jeans I have on are really tight today, so I guess it is because of TOM! I never really noticed before that I retain fluid at that time because I was always gainning anyway, but I know what I eat know, I did not gain from that.

I think a lot of what feels like hunger pains is gas and when the liquids pass through your stomach. My stomach is always talking to me and it could be right after I have ate my meal. I think now we have to pin point out what is Gas or Hunger. So it may not be hunger.

I am feeling the same today, today I ate pizza, more than I should have. I felt so depressed all day and feling so bloated. I looked at the calendar and it is that time of month anyday now. I feel a little better now. I just wanted to pick at everthing today. This is the first time it has happen so I guess thats what it is. I am glad to see I am not the only one going through this right now. I guess it will get better for us in a few days.

You are doing great! Look I have had 2 fills and lost 27 lbs. YOu have already lost 22. Keep it up you are doing great.:clap2:

I am not a big fruit eater, I use a half of Banana in my protein shake, but that is the only fruit I really have eaten since banded. My Dr. said to stay away from coconut and grapes. It makes a flap over your stoma and stops you up. The grapes you can peel the skin off and eat but I would guess the skin on any fruit wouldn't be good to eat. I know I don't eat the recomended amount of fruit I should. Is there anyone else out there that dosn't eat much fruit?

Your not supose to drink 30 min before and an hour after you eat.

I had 2 fills now. The first one I could not really tell much difference but the 2nd one I can really tell. It takes me a lot longer to drink a protein shake and I have to take tiny bites and eat much slower. You will know when you get to the right ajustment. Good Luck!

Its my 28th birthday tomorrow and I am going out with some friends, does anyone have any good suggestions on mix drinks? I do not want any wine, that just puts me to sleep.lol I am a grey goose & abosoute person!

untill the next morning

Well I had my 2nd fill today, I have lost 2.5 lbs in 2 weeks, I don't guess that is too bad being I had some Margaritas over the weekend. I find I can really tell this time that I have restriction. I hope to loose a little more this go round. Good luck to everyone!

My weight loss has slowed down also, I am going for my second fill on the 15th this week. I didn't loose anything since my first fill. Hope you do well with your fill.

Tomorrow is 7 weeks since surgery. I had my first fill on March 1, 2007. I am going back for my 2nd one March 15. I have lost 2.5 lbs since the first fill. I don't guess thats too bad for 2 weeks.

I had bad shoulder pain and it could take days-weeks to all come out. Mine lasted nearly 2 weeks.

Is she eating enough protein?

I am stuck on 23lbs lost this week, I don't know what the problem is. I am eating a little less since I got my fill but don't know whats going on. I just can't get off of 219.

I really don't miss eating the way I use too. I feel so much better the way I eat now. It feels so good to leave the table comfortable.

I have a bad habit of gulping water down but it does not do me anything. Maybe after a few fills it might. I am really doing well, never had a problem yet. I find I eat about the same amount of food since the fill but I stay full longer.

How are you doing with your fills? I think I will need my second one soon.

I had mu surgery 1/23/07. I had my first fill March 1st. I find I am eating about the same before the fill. I am going back March 29th for my second. I don't have any problems eating anything. When you say you can not eat bread, what kind and how are you eating it? I buy the whole wheat buns andI just eat the top part with chicken salad are turkey breast. I can't eat the 2 pieces together. I am find with pasta, I just try and chew everything really well.
