Ill start by saying two months ago I had a fill and was at 8.3ccs and first couple of days couldn't eat anything, only liquids..then it loosened up enough where I could eat a little at a time, had horrible heartburn, night coughs, everything but lost 15 pounds that month. I don't eat healthy food I eat whatever I want. After that I got a little more put in because imstupid, so had to get an unfill the next day and they took two whole ccs out. Now I'm back up to 7.9cc and have a little heartburn, but I want to get like .2 at most put back in. Am I totally stupid??

Omg thank you so much for saying that, it was EXACTLY what I needed to hear!

i was banded on june 10th and after having 4 fills(6cc's), i can still eat a lot. i am starting to feel like i will never get that full feeling. the only thing i notice is that when i eat bread and dont chew it well it gets stuck, but after a minute or two it goes away. at my last fill appointment i even gained 4 pounds. my doctor keeps telling me to be patient and that i will get there but im starting to think he is full of crap. he keeps telling me how important it is to only eat 4 ounces at a time but hello, if i could only eat 4 ounces at a time i wouldnt be fat and i wouldnt need the lapband. i feel like im just going to be fat forever. i need to know there are other people that hve been through this but finally got that feeling, i need some advice desperately!

i buy them online, but i suggest buying them from GNC they delivered them a lot faster than when i ordered them from the muscle milk website. they are delic!

ill definitely let you know how it goes! i think he said he put in 3ccs at surgery, but i feel NO restriction yet...did they put anything in yours and do you feel anything?

everyone looks FABULOUS! i am only 2 and a half weeks post op so im far from being after picture ready, but im definitely inspired!

hey kitty, if you look on the true results website, it says they have a support group that meets at TR i believe every last Thursday of the month. im going for a fill on the 8th and was going to ask about it when i go because im a baby and im nervous!

ok i have 2 problems. i had surgery on june 10th and i feel great other than the fact that when i bend completely over, i have a stabbing pain that feels like its right behind my belly button. everyone has been saying its probably my port but my port is way higher right under my ribs..anyone know what it might be? problem number 2 is that i had i believe 3cc's put in at surgery, and i feel NOTHING. the second week i was eating whatever i want and had no restriction at all. im scared i might never feel anything!

hey everyone just checking in with you guys. good luck to all of you with surgerys coming up! i get my first fill on July 8th and i cant wait!

how long did it take everyone to start feeling restriction? my surgeron put in 3cc at surger on june 10th and i am still able to eat anything and everything and i am starving. im like a bottomless pit! im scared that ill never get that feeling!

hi michael! sorry i just saw what you posted. i LOVE dr hollis, and i am so weird when it comes to doctors, but he is super nice, he made me feel so good about making this decision. i really feel like i couldnt have picked a better doctor, so dont worry! and the nurses before and after surgery are fabulous! they are so nice, pretty funny as well. they made it such a great day, i really cant say one negative thing about them!

is anyone else hating the postop diet as much as i am?? i am starving to death! i am on day 5 of clear liquids and protein shakes and im about to kill someone! any advice??

im day three post op, and i must be honest because i feel like i wasnt warned. im in a lot of pain, but i think a lot of it has to do with i had a hiatal hernia that he said was the largest in a while that he has seen. getting out of a chair or getting in a chair is like torture. the day after was the worst. i couldnt even get out of bed on my own my mom had to pull me out. but on the bright side, its in and it will get better everyday. i just thought you all should know because at first it kind of sccared me because i had read everyones posts saying how they didnt even need to take there medicine and felt wonderful so i thought something might be wrong with me. now all i can think about is week 3 when i can have soft foods, chicken broth is on my nerves!!

leaving in 30 minutes for surgery! couldnt be more excited!!

hey, im 22 and having lapband june 10th, the day after tomorrow! time is moving so slowwww. but i would love to keep in touch

i cant believe the day after tomorrow ill be having surgery! ahhhhh i feel like time is going by SOO slow. for those of you that have had surgery now, how was it??? what is the pain like?

i am having my surgery june 10th and im not scared at all. my friend and i were laughing about it earlier becuase i was telling her im excited to go under, its like the best nap ever. plus the loopy medicine they give you before hand, its like the best margarita ever. im excited more than anything to finally start losing weight and keep it off. i wonder if i will get nervous the day before, but i really dont think i will. right now im more concerned about how i will look for surgery. i had to get my highlights redone, manicure/pedicure, and eyebrows threaded so i will look cute for surgery lol.

ive been thinking about this same quesiont. i am 22 so my friends and i go out drinking and out to eat a lot, especially on the weekends. i talked to my doctor about alchohal and he told me to avoid wine and beer as much as possible, but he told me it was totally fine to have liquor with diet mixers, like diet coke, sprite zero..all those things. obviously he wouldnt want me drinking liquor all the time because of the calories but once or twice a week he had no problem with. he also told me the whole rule about "not drinking while eating" was bs. there has been studys focusing on that, 10 people who dont drink while they eat and 10 people who drink as they eat, and there is absolutely no difference.

ive been on my preop diet for a week now, and i cheated bad last night! i dont think rum qualifies as a protein shake....whoopsies! but luckily my doctor is awesome and he calls it the "work hard, play hard diet" which means if you do well all week, saturday you can do whatever you want, so i just pretended like yesterday was saturday. BUT i think he meant for that to be AFTER surgery..which is getting close, 6 more days yay!

hey guys, so i went to my preop appointment today and i have lost 6 pounds in 4 days! but i was tramatized me cause i was weighed by the most beautiful man in the universe..i wanted to dieeeeeeeeee. but o well, 9 more days!

i am going through true results in houston, i love it so far, they have been really helpful and made me feel very comfortable. my preop appointment is tomorrow and surgery is scheduled for june 10th

ive been drinking the muscle milk light as well, they actually taste pretty good and they only have 100 calories with 15 grams of protein

wow mrs beebies! i couldnt have said it any better myself! i have become addicted to this website, and i love it so much! its great to have people to talk to about all this who UNDERSTAND.

hey! i am 22 as well, and i will be banded on june 10th. i know how you feel, TRUST me. but just think, we are doing this at such a great time, we are young and have our whole lives ahead of us, so we are lucky to get this out of the way, rather than suffering for more years. we are going to live our twenties the way we were always meant to do so! id love to keep in touch, both of you, message me whenever!
