I have a question if anyone can comment, I have a 10cc band and have 5.75cc in. I KNOW everyone varies, but I'm wondering on an average, what is the typical amount of fluid in my size band when the green zone is reached!? Thanks for your comments!

My chest pain went away about 8hrs later

HI everyone, I had my first fill today 3ccs in a 10cc band. I'm having some mild chest pain every few minutes. Is this normal? Will it go away? Thanks

I have a great idea for you all I made last night! Make turkey meatloaf and put it in muffin tins. Perfect serving size, and lots of protein!! Just use your faviorate meatloaf recipe with turkey delicious!!!

HI everyone! I have a question, I am 11 days post op and am eating about 800 calories a day. My first week I lost 11lbs and then gained 2lbs back in the last 4 days. But lost one of those again yesterday. I'm feeling like I'm starting to fail??? Any thoughts? Thanks and yea I'm eating the correct things no junk

Congrats!!! This was me a few weeks ago I started the exact same weight is you and am down to 288! Keep it up, your doing amazing

Mine itch too!!! Just scratch around em with CLeAN hands!...lol good luck

I really needed my husband for two SOLID days, have Hume there the day after for sure! You may feel a little lonely the day of surgery, but u will need help!

I was on clear liquids only day of surgery, and now for two weeks I'm on full liquids including pudding yogurt and some hot cereals creamy soups of any kind just strained. I can have a lot actually, but I sure can't hardly ANY!!! It's frustrating cause I wanna stay hydrated but I always feel "full"

I also banded the 18th and am NOT hungry at all!!!!! I can't hardly eat like 2 tiny bites of pudding or yogurt and I'm stuffed!!! At least I think I am, it's been hard to differentiate between full and tight from surgery, hope in a few more days I will be able to get some protein in!

I everyone I was banded on Wednesday July 18th, and I'm having difficulty feeling if I'm full from the sipping of liquid or just tight from surgery. How often should I be sipping? Every 5 min? 15? Thanks!

Just had surgery yesterday and this is HELL! I never imagined the pain would be this bad, and the gurgling of my stomach makes me so nauseous!!! I'm over this band right now....lok

I'm being banded today, but have lost 38lbs pre-op and ppl have noticed already so that has been nice! But I think in about 20 more lbs it will be noticeable to many more. I work in a nursing home with all women, and they all know I'm doing this so they look or it, and comment a lot! I love the compliments! And have inspired others to consider surg

Good luck me too!

Good luck! I'm on my way to the surgical center too! My car dies this morning but that won't keep me from my life beginning today!!! Hope all goes well with your surgery today! Can't wait to chat laters
