    What Vitamins Does Everyone Use?

    I was told to take prenatal vitamins because of the extra iron.

    Banded With No Fills.

    There are different sized bands, and depending on the choice your surgeon made you may not need a fill. Also, sometimes they will add Fluid during surgery like mine did. I have no idea how much fluid I have in my band or what size it is....not important to me as long as it's helping me achieve my goal! I was banded Feb. 10, 2012 have lost 120 lbs, and have only had 1 DE-fill (0.1cc) [sharedmedia=trackers:tickers:2163]

    February Bandsters?

    I'm feeling a little discouraged for various other reasons then the scale. I was banded on Feb 10, and have lost 74lbs, with no fill!!! I'm extremely happy with this result, but I have no desire to eat. One poster mentioned dehydration can result in nausea, so I started being very conscious of my Water intake. Before I do anything in the morning I sit down and drink 4 cups of water! And then I'll have another 4 cups in the next 8 hours. I find that since doing this, I am able to eat more, and was actually feeling hungry and not nauseous. I guess the reason I'm discouraged is, I've lost my passion for cooking and eating!! Eating seems like such a chore! I hate wasting food, and throwing it out. So I will eat the same thing for days on end, and THEN end up throwing it out because I'm disgusted by it! I'm so confused, I used to love to cook, and obviously I had a food addiction, but now it's like I have a total food adversion! And at times, I tell meself, "ok, you HAVE to eat now" I still try to make healthy choices, and get my Protein in, but I wish I still had that desire to cook and enjoy my food, not hate it.

    February Bandsters?

    I was banded Feb 10, 2012. I have lost 67lbs so far. I have not had a fill, as I still feel the restriction. I do not get hungry, or thirsty, in fact, I could probably go the whole day without eating or drinking. I count my calories and exercise, but I rarely hit 1000 calories. There are many times that I don't feel well, and not sure what to contribute it too. The first couple weeks after surgery I was extremely nauseous. And still, there are many days that I can't even think of food, but I force it down because I know I need to, to survive. I am pleased with the weightloss, but discouraged in the way it is making me feel. I just want to feel great and lose weight! If there are any others that are feeling this way I would like to hear from you!
