Manda checking in at 262 2 from goal

I was told four weeks. Wow there is no absolute rules hehe. Better check with ur dr

My dr does not do a liquid period after a fill. He says it can take up to a week for the fill to have any effect so why put urself thru that all liquid phase for nothing

Have u tried doing the liquid diet a couple of days to kinda shock your system? I hear some people do that. I don't pretend to have the answers

Mine hurt for a couple of weeks

I feel like for me at least, my weight and diet have always been very personal to me. Why would I change that oppinion now? I have told so few people. Who knows what the future holds as far as who I tell but I know it will never be something that I broadcast!

Mine is sore for a day or so after a fill and turns my belly turns all black and blue

Biggest thing for me is portion control and also unlike dieting, a stay full for hours!

I have bcbs of il. My ded was 250 and I also have no copays

Well I know it's tough but sounds like u just have to wait now. Unfortunately u will have some down times of just waiting (waiting for solid foods, waiting for restriction etc.) it will b here before u know it. Good luck!!

Do u need an EKG or a sleep study? Diff ins require diff things

I was having horrible reflux. Dr removed the fluid for a week then put it back in and everything is fine now

Good luck hopefully it goes easy for u

Feel free to add me

Also very important that u drink all ur water

This is also a sign that the band may be too tight

Black teeth comes from nerve damage yes? Could ur teeth have gotten banged during surgery? Maybe I'm totally off

Yes but here's the thing, if ur not having bm's ur gonna feel all bloated and gross and not feel like eating. Bad cycle. And if u are straining and bleeding an such then obviously u are backed up. U need fiber and milk of magnesia. Have u talked to ur doctor?

R u taking a fiber supplement?

Oh now I know the rules hahaha (that goes toward your jokes!). I am now at 255 (yay me) I listen to classical piano. What can I say? It gets me revved up!!

I'm not sure how successful u can be if I drink with ur meals as u r jst washing the food thru ur band.

I am down 5 lbs this week. Goal for month is 10. Sorry not sure how this challenge works

I take small bites but nothing as small as my pinky nail!

I use baby utensils as well. Bites the size of ur pinky nail? Seriously? Does anyone take bites that small for real?
