  1. Congratulations! That is awesome! Keep up the good work!
  2. Hello, I had my band placed in 2007 so its been a while :-). I had a complete unfill last June because I was pregnant and having a lot of trouble with it and lost 14lbs in the beginning of my pregnancy. My total weight loss since 2007 is 35lbs. (not good at all)... I think I may have been too tight before because I was not able to eat anything. (no veggies or meat) I was very very bad and lived on things that would easily go through the band. I FINALLY had a fill yesterday of 4ccs. (I had 5ccs when I had the unfill.) I am ready to do this right this time. It has been so long since I started this journey and I have forgotten how everything feels. I met with the dietician yesterday and she told me that I should be full for at least 4 hours after a meal. I was on full liquids for 24 hours and then test the waters with what I could eat today. This morning I was still on liquids so I had a Protein shake, yogurt smoothie, Water, and some coffee. I had about 4oz of tuna with a little mayo at 3:00PM and by 5:30 I was starving! I am so afraid of getting stuck or eating too much! Do I need to give it time to tighten up more? or does it already sound like I need another fill? Thanks! Leslie
  3. I hadn't heard it used about restricted food until last night. I was searching around the internet last night and found a Dr that said it isn't about the tightness of the band but about the restricted food. I guess it is used both ways.
