Oh I know ur pain all to well!! I started out a 38 J and am now a 34 J. I am like I'm hello... Even tho they have shrunk a little I wouldn't mind being back into an f or even a g at this point. Lol. For all th other wonderful women... I don't know what that feels like... But my friend does. She went and got her boobs lifted (adding some fakeness) and she is so happy. No sagging, dropping, and she says they still feel natural cause she had boobs before all they did was fill the lose skin. Not that I am suggesting for all women, but it's a thought.... We are all bless to be losing this weight and that is and should be our main focus... Congrats!

I just wanted to thank the owner of this group for creating this group. I have looked for LGBT bansters for a while and it is not an easy task...LOL! I hope many join this group in the weeks to come!!

Hey I tried clicking on your link and it is not coming up...maybe it is an old link??? but you did inspire me to look for this..thank you!

Thank u for posting this and thank u to everyone who is responding. I recently sprained my ankle and due to previous problems it is extremely inflamed and I go to the specialist tomorrow. I hope I am able to take something as well. And I have to say I understand wanting to eat everything in sight. I am feeling very depressed as well and my food choices have not been the best. I hope we can help each other get through this little bump in the road. Best of luck to u on ur journey.

I hear you loud and clear....after my band I lost weight due to liquids and slashing the calories, fat and sugar out of my diet, the min i started eating "solids" I was at a stand still... had my first fill 4 weeks ago and was still at a stand still....many docs fill slowly, I just spoke with my doc today he said it is perfectly normal to not feel much a difference until 7-8 cc's maybe your doc can add more next time your in there. I went from 3 cc's after surgery to 6 my first visit and now I am at 6.5 cc's they said they do it a little quicker than most docs in the beginning because they didnt want me to get discouraged... I hope this helps you a little. take care. It will get better give it time. you will get a fill and go oh wow yep I feel the difference.... that when you know u r going to start losing a little more then you are now.

I am not sure why but this is completely normal. I had the same thing happen. I even had a fill at 4 weeks and I am still not losing and I am also at 7 weeks out. I am very frustrated and depressed about it. I have talked with one of my friends and she says it's normal also; she went through it as well. I am waiting for my fill on the 19th to see if this lull changes. I hope it changes for u!! I know that feeling of I'm Doug everything right wth!!! I know we will get through this every banded person does... Maybe it's just our bodies getting used to what we r giving it.

I like to add more water to mine. I try to stay away from the yogurts because of sugar content. Try the nectar brand of protein. U can call 1866 333 7403 for a sample pack from them. I low them because they r not think and u can add as much water to taste. Hope this helps.

Am nervous because my doc had left 3cc in my band at the end of surgery. I went today to get my first fill and he went from 3 to 6 cc's.... Is this normal? I only have the standard band, which is 10cc max, right? I very nauseous tonight. Everything goes down just very slowly. Should I be concerned?

I wish I had some suggestions... I have been sticking with baked or mashed potatoes, Beans, low fat cottage cheese, sf pudding/jello, eggs, tried my first round of puréed chicken today not to bad, and cream of wheat. Oh and I always have a high Protein drink first thing in the morning, helps me stay fuller longer.

I remember my first bite of real food, it was eggs mashed up and cottage cheese...oh delicious...I am losing weight quite fast as well, I just figured it was because of the diet they have me on and the fact that I have cut my calorie intake over half of what I used to eat....am I wrong? These first few weeks how much should I be losing? So glad to hear you are doing so well.

Thank you for your feed back I will check out this drink..for the long term weight control. I will be checking your page... again thank you. Good luck and the last few pounds...you will get there in no time. just stay away from the sugar...I know how hard it is, but we will all support you. Take care
