dont feel to Bad I just went on vac and came back and had gained 5lbs, but last monday i refoucused and started to track my food again and the scale is going down. We just have to stay postive and focused, and it will all work out.

GOT MY 2ND FILL ON JUNE 25 AND OMG IM FEELINGS RESTRICTIONS. I'M FINFING THAT IM HAVING A HARD TIME WITH BURGERS WITHOUT BUNS AND PIZZA DOUGH. AND I AM FINDING THAT I NEED TO EAT ALOT SLOWER OR ELSE I FEEL TIGHTNESS IN MY CHEST. WITH MY SECOND FILL I'M NOT AT 5CC'S. I LEAVE TO GO ON VAC ON SAT AND IM HOPING THAT I WILL DO WELL WITH MY EATING. SINCE BEING BANDED IN MARCH I AM DOWN 26LBS

I THINK EVERYONE HAS ALL OF THOSE THOUGHTS. I KNOW I DID.I WAS BANDED ON 3/21/12. SINCE THE SURGERY I AM DOWN 24 LBS., AND TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH I ONLY WISH I HAD THE SURGERY SOONER. I THINK THE ONLY 2 TIMES I HAVE EVER QUESTIONED MY DECISION TO HAVE SURGERY WAS DAY 3 WHEN I STILL VERY BLOATED AND FILL OF GAS, AND THE FIRST TIME I HAD A FILL AND MY DR HAD A HARD TIME FINDING THE PORT BECAUSE ITS IN SOOO DEEP. AND ALL YOU HAVE TO KEEP TELLING YOUR SELF IS THAT YOU CAN DO THIS AND I FIND THAT GOING ON THESE BOARDS AND SEE THAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE GOING THRU OR HAVE BEEN THRU WHAT YO GOING THRU HELPS ALOT!

i just went for my seconf fill yesterday and i got 3cc's so i now have a total of 4ccs in my band, and this morning i can tell that i'm going to have to slow down my eating and really chew my food.

i was banded on 3/21/12 and post ope i have lost only 25 lbs, and my dietician and dr dont have me counting calories they have me eating between 20-25 grams of protein at every meal.i find it much easier to count proteins then calories.and i find that i stay fullier much longer

that was my concern tooo . i went for my first fill on monday the 21 and the dr could not find the middle of the port to fil it, so i have to go next week to have a Fluoroscopy band fill, that will show where the middle of the port is, the dr said it very rare that they cant find port , you will do Fine and if they cant worst come to worse you have to to have the same thing i'm having not a Big Deal

i get my first fill on Monday May 21.feeling the same way

i took 2 weeks and three days off after my surgery, and i have a desk job. My dr said i could not lift anything over 5 to 10 lbs. But i found that the first week back i got tried in the afternoon.

thanks Alex i feel better

did either of you have trouble with security?? i have to fly in july and i am getting kinda freaking out. My monm got a card that said she was banded i went to a different Dr. for my surgery and i didnt get one.

i was banded on march 21 and have not had my first fill yet. i will on May 21. does the needle hurt that badly??? and right i don't have any restrictions.is it common to have alot of them after a fill

i HAVE PAIN AROUND THE PORT ON DAYS AT ITS COLD. I STILL SOMETIMES CAN'T SLEEP ON MY RIGHT SIDE WHERE THE PORT IS

You are completly right, my journey soo far as also been Full of Surprises.Thank Good for Family and Good Friends, I thought people might feel that i was taking the easy way out by having surgery, but everyone i told as given me nothing but Love and Support. And i have to tell you that my youngest nephew who is 6 said to me the other night as he was getting ready for bed said Aunt Danielle your getting Smaller. I gave him a Big Hug and almost Cried.

Its Great that you Feeling Good. Thats how is was right after the surgery too. I Just wen to Dr Yesterday I am 4 weeks Post Op Tomoroow and I am Down 23 lbs. Every day gets Better and Better. I Went to a Wedding this Past sunday and everyone told me that I LOOKED AWESOME.It was the First time I FELT like I LOOKED AWESOME. . Keep up the GOOD WORK!

newme2012 i felt the same way i was down 19 lbs when i went my first dr vist and i had surgery on march 21 and just went to dr on monday 4/9/12. i went shopping to get aleast 2 new pairs of carpris and i was able to fit into a size 16. I felt soo Good.I too have sent a goal to be down 45 lbs by the time i go on vac the first week of july. So keep up the good work

what kind of bean are you eating cause i had baked beans.

i am post surgery 3 weeks today and i went ot the dr.s on monday and i have lost 20 lbs since the surgery. i didn't think that was bad but i see some people have lost more. my doctor has put me on mushy foods but am eating some solid food. does anyone have any idea on some great mushy food ideas? im still have some bloating and gas pain which the doctor says i will have for a couple of more weeks untill my belly swollening goes down. did anyone else have that proble?
