    Finally A Fill I Can Feel

    I had my surgery on 3/1/12, my first fill 6weeks after (my wt 217 down from 245). From the first day of my fill I never felt restricted. I could eat whatever with no restriction on how much,however once I was done with my meal I was full for a while, which lead to me eating twice a day(I know not good). My eating was still not bad and I went to the gym 5 days a week (1hr cardio with strength training). Two weeks after my first fill I went for a 2nd fill still nothing. By now my eating habit is getting worse the will power is not so good, my weight is the same 217lb.(I'm still going to the gym) On 6/7/12 I go for my 3rd fill OMG finally I understand what restriction really is, i understand 4oz of meat is enough, I understand sipping my fluids. What a wonderful feeling! now just maybe I can start my weight loss

    Finally A Fill I Can Feel

    Thanks guys for the support. Jim I have I think 8cc in a 10cc band. I know it's really close, I don't understand why it takes 8cc for me to feel restricted. I'm just going to stay positive with the 8cc getting me to the 60lb i want to lose. Good luck to all of you
  3. Hey Sophie, I've started my pre op on 2-16 and I must say the first three days was not that easy. I had a really bad headache, but now no headache. Now I'm trying to figure out the difference between me being hungry or my addiction getting the best of me(help). Overall it does get easier as the days go on, and keeping busy helps. I have my surgery 3-1, I just keep thinking I don't want to do anything to jeopardize my surgery. Good luck
  4. Hello everyone I'm soooo excited about getting the lapband (scheduled for 3/1/12). At first I was a little nervous, but after reading so many of your stories about the amount of weight you guys are losing has me feeling like I made the right decision. Thanks for your posting, it really helps the beginners
