Maris0l reacted to KristyT in How Much Weight Did You Loose At 6 Months?marci,
thank you for posting this, I was reading and reading those posts and I was thinking "good gawd, Im a failure" because im 6 months in and I have only lost 20 lbs since surgery, I did lose 25 lbs before surgery but not that much since surgery and I was also like you, I didnt have much restriction until about a month ago, my dr does things very very slowly. I was so glad to read your post and find some comforting in what you posted, I think its great that you have lost what you did and Im glad to know im not the only one to lose so slowly in first 6 months. kinda wish people would focus on losing and being more healthy rather than how much did you lose. even though I havent lost that much, I am thankful for what I have lost and how much healthier I do feel. god bless and thanks for your post

Maris0l reacted to angbutler0712 in Finally Feeling Some Restriction!I had my second fill on Tuesday, 2/28 of 2ccs. That puts me up to 4.5cc's total in an 11cc Realize Band. I was banded on 11/23/11 and have had a really super hard time with how hungry I have felt and not feeling any restriction with food. I know there are others out there like me, feeling so frustrated..
Immediately after my second fill I felt restriction. Sipping the water in the doctors office, I could hear the gurgling of it going through the band. I am now a couple days out and still feeling good restriction.. It's so exciting! FINALLY.. this is what it feels like! I ate oatmeal this morning and I could feel it sitting in the pouch, processing slowly.. and I wasn't hungry again for at least 4 hours. Amazing!
Now.. the doctor said that she would be very surprised if I felt any restriction with this fill.. Do you guys think it's just because I may be swollen? Or are there actually bandsters our there that feel restriction with less than a half full band?
I think it's going to be easier for me to have my band tight.. I've read that some people like it like that. I have NO willpower, I need my band to tell me NO! Going for my next fill on 3/29. Can't wait.
