Ditto! I am down 30 but nothing since a month ago. Still not satisfied after eating ..got another full Thursday ..hoping I can get up to 7-8 cc

Hope everyone is doing well...for those who had their first fill...any restriction! How many CC,s?

Congrats! What a motivation for those of us just starting our journey!

Today I am getting round two band fill. First fill was 3.76 last week ..hopefully some restriction will occur after today..

i wish I could help. New to band and just got my first fill. Been a lil back and forth about surgery since I have not lost anything in the past 2 weeks. I am sure some good advice is on the way, Just curious, have you had your band filled beyond 3.5?

I am going back this week for 2nd fill, 3.77 now, still feel hungry. Let us know how feel 2 goes for you!

!

Thanks guys..I just called my Dr to set up an appt...

I am on the way to get my first fill tommorrow. However, I noticed a lesion under my arm this morning. Freaking me out! I always get lumps this time of month. Anyone else Period is off post lapband? Lesion underarmpits... I use antibaterial soap and am almost ocd about being clean. Trying to stay cool before I make a dr appt...aaaaaaaahhhhhhh

Happy to hear you doing well! mine is on thur,,,did they ask if you felt full after fill? what determined the amount of fill?

Week 3 I felt no pain, no bloating..hunger kicked in, but can do moderate excercise

I AM SOOO HUNGRY!! HAVE NOT BEEN DOING WELL, AFTER FIRST 2 WEEKS MY EATING HAS NOT BEEN GOOD, EATING DECENT AND HEALTHY FOOD, JUST TOO MUCH. BREAD GETTING STUCK, VERY UNPLEASANT... FILL ON THURSDAY AFTER 4 WEEKS POST OP...ANYONE ELSE STRUGGLING BEFORE FILL?

Same here..I am 16 days post op and cheated today ..felt bad but the food was not terribly bad..I get a fill in less than two weeks and do not want to compermise my healing ...nor gain the twenty pounds I lost back..I heard beforehand the fills that hunger strikes with a vengeance! Everyone hang in there!

Hey gang..I think each Dr different..but mine set fill for 4weeks after surgery...good luck and hang in there! Water should help some in between meals

Went Back to work this past Monday..officially 2 weeks banded and 20 pounds down.. been super busy but wanted to say best wishes to those who are yet to be banded..or still getting through early healing stages. We are all in This together!

What flavor Isopure are you using for this? I purchased the punch but cannot stomach the taste...yours? Maybe the punch will be great with this recipe!! thanks for sharing!!

WOW! Thats awesome SpecialK! Thanks for dropping us some support and motivation!!!

Makes sense, as my belly is still pocking out and swoll! lol. One day at a time! Thanks!

Sorry to hear about your pains...these things will drive emotional eaters to food for sure, and very understandable! For those who love me, I explained to them that I am a food addict. The same concept as an alcoholic and smoker, or even drug addict..food WAS my go to drug. I explained that as a child a snuck and ate after hours..and that I binge eat when I am stressed, sad and bored. This seemed to help those I love understand and support me. I have only told my love ones about my journey, as I do not owe anyone outside my loving circle, an explanation.. which reduces me having to hear unwanted opinions. The decesion is not east and is yours to make. However, as a mom, I was afraid of not being here with my little one. But after researching over a year and understanding the pros and cons! Best of luck in whatever you decide!! You have support here on this site for sure!

Ok, so I am painless for the first time today. Had a bad episode of gas pains yesterday and took extra strength gas X chewables...it was a life saver! Hives and itching decreased when I removed the dermabond. Things are looking up. I am 10 days post op and still not feeling hungry at all. Feel full after drinking a water. Anyone else feeling the same? I am down from 303 to 284! I am not focused on loosing wieght that equals muscle and fluid lost... rather I want to loose fat! Was a little concerned when I getting full so quickly, but able to get in protien now.

I am was feeling sooooo nervous before my surgery...cried the night before and almost backed out 430 am!! This was far easier than my tosil removal, knee repair and child birth (as of I need to state that!) Wishing you the best! Know that your feelings are super normal!
