I never thought about too cold and band tightening.Thx:)

As we lose weight the restriction is less and just recently in August my band is filled at 5.75 and sitting in green zone with some good weight loss after feeling a little too tight the first week and a half after fill. I had to really concentrate on mushy and protein afterwards. Now I'm feeling great. Surgeon said to come back in October and looking at 6cc should be the tweak next time. I'm just about 25 pounds or so to goal.

It's no fun to fill like life is not normal, let us know how you do and please take it easy.

Unfill a little. You must be miserable:(

I have trouble with eggs in a huge way. Try poaching them instead.

There is a great container that keeps ice in it all day long keepin water and beverages cold, this has helped me. The name is called Contigo. This water/ coffee cup is sold on QVC but also online...and spill proof. I love this and carry it around all the time..I just need to remember to drink! Check it out.

Just remember there is light at the end if the tunnel (life dear and a healthy one). I also went through a small depression of reality. But it is so worth it for you and family. Please know you have support and people are not always going to understand what you have gone through or feel (often it may feel like sabotage) just concentrate on the winning prize:)

Had same problem but it was actually my iron and water intake. I was getting light headed. Also make sued you are getting enough protein too. Good luck ( I still go through this about two weeks after an adjustment than I feel good again) I just need to concentrate on what I need.

It sounds like our lives are getting busy that we are forgetting to take care of our needs too! I'll get back on track and finally concentrating on water intake and exercise again after getting kids situated to school again.

Did I make it? Did I do ok? Is the band in? Did you talk to my family? That was the first things I said.

Vita coco or coconut water has major potassium I've used it for leg cramps.

About 3.5-4cc started the process.

Amazing and inspiring!!!!

You are so right!!! I've been so busy and sluggish but have also had less water and protein up until today. Feeling so much better and band is not being so finicky today, finally feeling better.

I have had skinny girl margarita or other light ones. Maybe one per month.

I always say my band is like a toddler!!!! You just never know what may make it get out of kilter!!!! I find the heat can do it, laying down, excitement or tension, eating too fast, too much, too big of bites, or sometimes just because....a toddler. Today is rough for me, I think my navy bean soup is troubling me maybe the skin on them doesn't agree but I just need to take it easy. Who knows tonight I just might be able to eat my baked chicken....Scwanns is so tender!!!

Also to add, it seemed that the first two weeks after those three full liquids days, I needed those stages as I'm getting to the 5.75/6 cc fill. Not everything goes down like it did before doctrinal and error as well as smaller bites and more chewing and taking it slower.

I stayed on full liquids 3 days and slowly worked in foods this last fill...best advice my surgeon gave me:)

Roll dice stay December.

How yah doing????

Keep your eye on the prize....and that is becoming a healthier you, enjoying the lighter body, enjoying your family as you become more involved with lots of energy!!!! Food will not be your MAIN focus. Yes you may grieve at tubes and your emotions may be a little wack. But overall you wint regret this life change. Embrace it and empower yourself to know that you are doing this for YOU!!!!!

I miss pizza too so I'm interested in this pizza crust made with cauliflower...do let us know!!!!

I drink two Keurig coffee cups per morning with quite a bit of creamer. I'm not changing unless they come up wit the most awesome sugar free and fat free creamer. I drink it every day. I will never touch carbonated drinks again and have not since one month before my surgery.

Absolutely do it again!! 17 months banded...down to 179 from 267. Now I foget fat I even have a port, it's just part of your body like dental work or knee replacement that can stay in your body. This tool takes work but that's ok!! I'm very happy with my lapband and my surgeon.
