I would have pulled hubby aside and told him "you better talked to your friends!" I would have been livid! Some men are clueless!

I eat out once a week (girls night out). I usually order an appetizer, if I do order a meal which is rare, I take 1/2 home & most times my daughter or son will eat it. I don't eat bread, or rice most everything else. Just smaller portions. I do however get an "drink". It has really affected me as I know my belly is smaller, it hits me quick. I need to be careful.

I think I have a 14cc band and I am filled at 8 1/2, I just had the 1/2 added on Monday. I wonder, does my stomach shrink so I need more fills? I am afraid to go any further fearing it will be too tight. I feel fine now and can eat fine, feel full much more.

I just had a fill a couple days ago, I am now at 8 1/2. I can't believe I am filled that much. Is anyone else at my fill level or more? I feel good.

I have been banded since May 22, 2012. I started losing before I got banded to get a head start, well 2 months later & I have lost 30lbs!
I feel so good, feel so healthy, I am in awe!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been so busy I haven't posted in awhile. The lap band is a wonderous thing!
I am a Diabetic & am already off 2 insulins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am also off acid reflux medication yaaaaaaaaaaaa!

I eat much more then 3-4 bites and I am filled to 6ccs! I eat all my meals on a bread size plate. I eat healthy foods. I have had much success! Don't count your bites! Just eat & chew!

You definately need to exercise, that goes along with this. I don't like it either but make myself and feel so good afterwards. You will see a hug difference!

I rarely feel hungry but make myself eat. I am always thirsty and am 8 days out of surgery. Shoot, I don't want to get that hungry feeling, I like being like this lol! Thats because I am still swollen? Still I would think you can only fit so much in that little pouch. My dr. doesn't fill his patients until 6 weeks out of surgery. I drink all day, I make myself. I don't really have any problem getting the liquids in me.

I am a week out of having my band. I am feeling great, I have lost 18 lbs, so far. I started losing on my own so I could make the surgery easier, I am so glad I did. Also if a woman is young and wants children some day, I would say get the lap band so your baby can get nutrients! Best of luck!

If your at all uncomfortable I would get an unfil. Its not worth pain. It just might be too early for a fill. My surgeon told me one of his patients lost 100 lbs, with no fills! It was a man too!

Just got banded on Tues,. I stayed overnight & I am home! Everything well perfectly, I feel great! I came home and successfully ate some Cream of Wheat, stayed down without throwing up!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am not hurting 1 bit!
I hope this great feeling continues! I hope you other May bandsters made out well like me!

Good luck girls!
Newme214 congrats to you too! I go in Tues. May 22 and am getting nervous. I am panic stricken that afterwards I will throw up or be afraid to eat. I hope not. You give me hope Newme!

I am getting excited to start my 10 day re op diet. I must be odd to be so excited about starving! Its just that I feel I get closer to my surgery day and closer to fitting into that bathing suit without wearing a beach cover up! I am looking forward to a healthy, thin body so much! Thinks postive!

Good luck girls!

Sue, that is awesome news! That is a huge thing being able to eat that! I can't wait!
I am in day 4 or is it 5 of liquids, I feel bitchiness coming over me......

Congrats to you LuvaMonte!! It should only get easier!!

Donna,
I see no problem of telling people what your bill was for the psych. eval. Your in no way offending me. You either pay the bill or you don;t. Most people pay if they want this lap band surgery bad enough,
