3rd fill 01/25/11..Too tight ...lost 8 lbs since fill.. Unfill today 01/31/11... Only at 5cc and can not take another cc as of now..Removed 1 cc and grateful Lord that was a horrible feeling not eating or drinking in 6 dyas.

Change is good...Good luck!

You are doing great also...I was banded 11/18/10 and only at 25lbs...

I was fillledlast Tuesday and havent been able to keep anything down..Sliming a lot after drinking Water. I think i am going for an unfill on Monday scared because this is my 3rd fill and I feel it's to tight.

3rd fill on Tuesday January 25th.... Since my fill I was in a bad car accident inwhich my truck rolled 3times with me in .Nevertheless I was on my way back to the doctors after recieving a fill that morning because my band seemed to tight after leaving the doctor office. I have been in terrible pain from the accident and unable to eat or take meds. I can drink a little but find my self sliming afterwards. I havn't eaten any food since Monday the 24th. I am so discouraged at this point but first thing Monday i willl be making a trip to the doctor's office. I know everyone says

Thank you everyone....I FLIPPED TRUCK 3 times yesterday on my way back to the doctor to have fill removed.So i am now home with injured ribs and still filled. I am so grateful to be here. My life could be over but God showed his mercy.I will see how it goes I hate to have it removed and have no restriction

Got third fill this monring and the feeling is completely different form the past.. I had to vomit as soon as i left Dr office.Is this normal for the third fill I dont feel like I am going to be able to get anything down. I may be to tight but it did not seem that way in Dr office

You have done great so far.... I had no problem with the salad so you should be fine. I am surprised you was able to eat the meat it took me a month to get meat down.Good luck on yout journey I am stuggling.

The last couple of weeks I have not been able to get on track.. I am feeling like a failure ..I can not believe i have come this far to fail. I am just praying for strength to get this right. I hate trying to figure out what I can eat. I need a GYM membership but hate to commit to a contract. I am going to push myself harder than ever before ..Liquid diet one week and walk 4 times a week for the next 2 weeks. I have to forgive and move forward.

I am in 47lbs..... So hyped for sucess!!!Good Luck !!

Hi, Ladies can i still join your challenge?

I would like meal plan............I find it hard to follow the norm of meat and veggies only. I feel like I am failing at this and failure is not an option for me. I have to committ myself again to be sucessful. I have no idea the amount of daily protein needed. All this gram crap I dont understand so is One two or 3 shakes ????

1st fill December 14...2nd fill January 04.....No weightloss since 1st fill..... Really need to get it right..My BIRTHDAY is the 25th off this month and I need to see some change.

;)I am starting a liquid diet tomorrow until I get my fill on January 4th and will continue liquid as required... Do you think this is saf with me doing so without my doctor requiring it. I just need to refocus and loose some weight.I feel I am not meeting goal of weight loss expected compared to others.... What do you think?

I am so with you.... I need to do liquids for a full week and get back on track. The snacking is killing me. I go for my second fill on the 4th and I am ready. I really just need to refocus.My birthday is the 25th of January and I plan on having a blast so on that note I need to get back focused as we speak..lol Good look!!!!

I had restriction day one of surgery ..I just got a fill this week 2cc and feel the exact same. I felt something was wrong because I could not eat for the entire month with no fill... So we will see how it goes with the 2cc fill. Wish you luck

Hello November I had surgery on November 18th had my first fill on December 14th and I am only down 15lbs post ..... I am wonder what can I do to help with my weight loss progress. I have had restirction since day one barely able to eat or drink post op... Prior to getting fill I could not eat or drink much. I could only take 2cc in band. I think because i could barley eat i stuck in the mushy food stage and the mash pots didnt really help. This is so mew for me and I want to be sucessful please help me out.. I am considering liquid all this week to help in my journey. I need to be 35lbs by January 25 and NO i havent exercised since surgery i honestly have no energy.

Why can't I eat.... I got my first fill today and I had no idea I would be back on a liquid diet.... I dont like this.

It's hard to believe you can eat as you did before... I can barley eat but i dont feel that I am losing either. For some reason I honestly believe my band has a fill because I can tell a huge difference after a few sips of Water I feel it in my chest and can't drink anymore. I suppose to get first fill on Dec 14 but i do not know about that because i can't eat as is.

Wow this information is very informative for me.... I just have the thought that it''s carbs because my Dr. is so big on carbs... He wants 30 carbs a day which limits choices. I am even afraid of fruits because a lot are high in carbs. I guess if i avoid all sugars and make small portions than i should be fine. I really have not eaten much but i dont feel comfortable in my decisions. Thank you so much
