Instead of cake put a little bit of Whip Cream on top of your protien shake. HAHAHACan you keep water down. I would call the doctor and get in ASAP.thanks Great start to the dayInspirationalthanks for the info on the card I was wondering how to get one.Nothing to worry about my Doc after a fill usually 6 to 8 week. I think it does depend on your progress and how you feel.I was just thinking the same thing so I went and researched it and it has nothing to do with the band but with rapid weight loss. Which was talked about at my first meeting pre surgury. Its is something that has been in the back of my mind everytime I get a pain anywhere I want to blame it on the band.I was doing great then fell back into old habits.Eating late at nigtht is my worst issue. I have maintained where I am at now which is over a hundred pounds from my highest weight, but seem to gain and lose the same 5 to 10 pounds over the last few months.I think it is pretty normal for some not to get a fill. I was frustrated also I was banded in Nov 2011 did not get my first fill till March 2012. I just wanted to get one to see the difference Its been over a year and 3 months and have only had 3 fills and one unfill due to my abusing my band and falling off the wagon.I also did the same think back in November had everything takin out then waited 4 weeks. I went back in everything looked good so started refill. So far has been ok but I did go back and refresh my eating habits.Same boat here also I did great then the last 4 months only lost 13 pounds my 1 year was last month. I did realize I was falling back into old habits. Eating late at night and grazing every hour or 2 not much food just a bite here or there but the PA told me it adds up. So back to being more focused. Just keep at it ..THis was the topic I was needing I was banded 1 year ago did real well down over 100lbbs but 50 to go... but last 2 months have feel off the wagon on eating. Still running 3 times a week but I went back to the old way of eating. I needed post to re focus on my healths... Thankseveryone add me please graumann34Love the color me Rad run I did one this summer. Itts fun when you are running the whole thing and getting hit with the color. Great Jobgraumann34Funny thing Try having a band and being a Delivery driver for a pizza place a couple of nights a week to help pay for my band....just limit my self to 1 slice or toppings only......I started walking the dog 15 to 20 minutes I am now up to running 2 to 3 miles about every other day and I also do some weight training. I have noticed the more I change it up the better the results plus it keeps it more fun. I have ran 1 5 k and going to run another 5k with my Lab in 4 weeks. Its more fun it find a partner that is willing to go at all times. I m over 100 pounds down in 10 short months.everyone can add me if you want I did not now you could add people my Username graumann34I also seem to have problem with white got stuck couple of times so eat mainly dark now.I was the same way I thought the band had already slipped them I talked to dietian and she set me straight. Eating real slow is a big thing for me . I was a speedster, now I am always the last to finish and I eat 1\4 of everyone else at the table. I ve evne had a waiteress ask me if there is something wrong with my order because I eat so slow now.My biggest thing on my list would be being able to run and exercise everyday and enjoying it!!!Ditto I read most of the post but do not reply at all. I have started to and it seems to help me stay focused. Good LuckBanded Nov 2011 lost over 100Keep at it.Everyone will have gains keep a diary and exercise exercise exercise makes a big difference. Good luck.
