I had my first fill yesterday, didn’t hurt and the Dr. did it on his first try, I feel restriction now, hopefully this will help me lose more lbs., I’ll be on liquids for 72 hours, he only allowed water, ff jello, and crystal light, he wasn’t impressed with my 10 lbs loss and wants me to get to 18 or 20 lbs in two weeks.

Hi I've been MIA for the last couple of days, Congrats on your first fill Melissa and Taylor!! It's been a couple of bad days for me, I don't know if you know but I live in Mexico at the border, well two days ago I was going home from work and a car cut in front of me and my first tought was that they were going to rob me I was so scared, luckly nothing happened, but I started feeling so bad, nauseated, dizzy and like you feel when your BP is low, well since that day I’m not hungry at all, my Dr. told me if I’m not hungry I shouldn’t eat but, I think that is also bad for me, do you think the lack of hunger is normal and it’s because of the band or maybe is that I’m still in shock caused by the incident? Are you feeling less hungry? Have a great weekend everyone!!

I read in other post that sometimes when you swim the band gets tighter, maybe that's the reason, you got a fill and then went in the pool now you are just too tight

OMG all of you are doing this harder for me lol everyone is doing great!!! and I'm still on the 10 lbs :/ I have a Dr. appt next monday and I'm hoping for a fill cause I don't feel restriction anymore I was wondering if you have any good recipes to share Have a great day ladies!!!

I do the same things you do, I measure my food, I eat my Protein, and veggies and fruit, I'm eating 2oz to 3 oz each time, the only thing I do not tolerate anymore is the Protein Shakes but I think I just need a break, I'm active every day (I have a 2 year old and work) I'm not cheating on my diet, I drink a lot of Water (I don't like sodas or flavored water), and the stuck episode was because I forgot to chew that one time lol Today I'm going to start walking with my husband, I hope this helps. I know this is not a magic pill, I'm just frustrated that everyone (family) is watching me and asking me about it Thanks for your support ladies

good to hear that you are feeling better!! I'm still not losing weight, and I don't feel restriction anymore, I'm so frustrated and keep thinking this was just a waste of money I'm hungry all the time and nothing keeps me full, what am I doing wrong? my Dr. said that my first fill will be in a couple of weeks, I just need to know that I'm going to be able to loose the weight I don't want to be the exception

Congrats!!! I had my surgery on a Tuesday and was ready to go back to work on Friday

Slow and steady wins the race! I think this will be our motivation BTW I was eating lunch and food got stuck it was horrible!!! I thought I was going to die :'(

I'm sorry that you are still in pain, I did not suffer any pain at all, only the shoulder pain from the gas but lasted 2-4 hours for 2 days and that was all, I'm having problems with losing lbs. I'm still at 10 lbs lost. I want to start doing exercise, but I'm afraid that the sweat will infect my incisions, one of them is not healing well, but doesn't hurt. About the not losing weight, yesterday I was thinking that all of this was just a waste of money, I'm eating just as I was told and still I'm not losing weight, I need this to work for me, I paid for my surgery and I need to see results, sorry to vent I know it's going to happen but all my family is watching me and I'm getting anxious

My Dr. told me tht I'll have my first fill on week 6 since the surgery, I'm looking forward to it

Hi!!! I was banded on July 24, and since the surgery I'm down 10 lbs, I lost the 10 lbs in my first week and nothing since then, I'm starting to feel frustrated about it my Dr. gave me a diet of 800 calories a day and I'm eating solid foods already, I'm not cheating and I'm drinking a lot of water, I don't know why I can't lose more weight

2 weeks

I'm post op and no fills

We used to have that problem too Sasha but now we have 2 blankets lol I want boots that fit and be able to wear skirts and dresses again, I want to feel sexy again and go boxing with my husband, I just want to be able to have fun again

I don't know why I'm not losing weight, here is what I'm eating I do not know how to count calories and my Dr. didn't gave an specific diet 9:00 a.m. Protein Shake 1:00 p.m. Chicken Broth w/veggies 5:00 p.m. Chicken Breast w/veggies 10:00 p.m. Soup or ff jello I'm eating 3 to 5 oz each time, if you have any comments or suggestions I would really appreciate it. Thanks

I'm having a lot of shoulder pain and I feel really bloated, do you guys know any home remedies for this???

I had my surgery on Tuesday and wasn't hungry the first two days but now it's day 5 and I'm hungry as hell lol let me know how are you doing

This is my 5 day since the surgery and I'm down 10 lbs!!!! I'm so happy, I did not loose anything prior the surgery since I was not required to do the liquid diet, so this is big for me lol but still I'm so hungry at all times

I work as a translator at a legal office, I had my surgery last Tuesday and I'm ready to go back, I took one week off

I'm 26 5 ft tall and 240 pounds and I just foy banded yesterday

I had my surgery yesterday it all went great, I don't have any pain, but to tell the truth I'm sooo hungry , any sugestions?

Thank you guys I really needed this this really is a support group

Thank you all for your support!!! I'm getting the band there is no doubt about it, I already pay for it lol, and I'm going to stay positive and stay around, I hope I could be sharing before/after photos with you all next year

I'm getting banded in 2 weeks my surgery date is July 24, I'm so excited and can't wait, but friends, family and co-workers are not helping, they all say that it doesn't work, or that I'm going to feel so bad afterwards, that I'm going to vomit all the time and that I won't get rid of all the weight. None of them have the band but they'all have friends who are banded and this is why they are "informing me" of all the bad things that could happen. I'm so angry at them, I was so focused and happy about all this process.
