I am pretty sure I am now in the green zone. It has been a long hard road. The Dr said I am right on target with my weight loss and that I'm doing great. I spoke to my nutritionist for a while and explained to her how I can't get it trough to my head that I no longer eat like I use to. Half of a sandwich is enough and I don't have to finish what's on my plate. I just can't seem to get use to this. I never dreamed it would be his way, but I'm happy and dealing with it well.. Jamy

Even though I'm within my 900 calorie a day allowance I don't feel like I made the best food choices today. I feel heavy and blah..! Just wanted to vent that, I know some one else is going thru the same thing.. Your not alone!

Yeah , I'm going to take a hot shower and hopefully it will ease off. Thanks guys

But I'm 3 months out... I'm hurting again right now, after dinner.

Is so intense the last two days.. Anyone else?? What the hell is this.! I'm in pain..!

No I haven't, but I would take some Benadryl and if that did not help seek medical attention. Feel better..!

When I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and knew that if I wanted to continue to have a hand in raising my daughter by being able to move longer the weight had to go.!!!! There are so many, but that was the actual ah ha moment! Great post.. Thanks

Perfect?? Definetly not, however there ARE some people on here who think they know EVERYHING about eating healthy. If that were true then hey would not be on here..! I eat what I want just small amounts, I'll choose grilled over dried every time but if I want a piece of chocolate or a glass of wine then I have it OCCASIONALLY ... That's the key..! Good luck.!!

I was banded in April. I have lost 30 pounds, my life is very different now. I eat only when I'm hungry and in small amounts. Some times I don't chew well and food gets stuck, it generally comes back up but it's not horrible. I'm happy with my decesion it has changed so much for me.

I totally got that you were joking, keep your head up and stay focused.. Keep your eye on the prize..! I always ask myself, will this taste as good as I will feel when I am 30 pounds lighter?? The answer is usually no..! Good luck.!

Oh my!! You must have been miserable.! I was only over filled by about .07 and it was hell..! Your stomach is more than likely swollen and irritated.. I'm sure you will need a full in a couple weeks..! Hope all is well now..!

You will get better! As this way of life becomes your new way of life you will settle in and get to know the signals the band sends you. Trust when people say you WILL KNOW when your in the green zone because you definetly will have no doubts when it happens. Have some Fluid added, if it proves too much then have some removed.. You will get the hang of it and do great..! I just hit the green zone after three fills and one infill I'm finally there..!! Good luck...

Had a slight unfill today, man is it misery when you are overfilled.!!! Dr says my stomach is inflamed and swollen.. Hot liquid like my coffee this after noon just burned all the way down.. Hopefully I will be good again soon..!!

Getting an Unfill tomorrow morning. My fill yesterday was too much. I'm in misery right now. I can't imagine trying to eat food right now. Ugh, this hurts.!!

Who has had this happen and what did it feel like? Where exactly did it hurt? Help please, I think I may be filled to tight..!

I just never realized how much food played a role in my life.. I feel like I've lost a best friend.. Tomorrow is a new day..

I'm almost ashamed to admit this, but i think I'm mourning food as it was before. It just goes to show how much of an addiction it was for me. My husband is deployed, tonight I miss him and I can't sit down and eat candy or chips. The sad thing is if I hadn't had a fill today I think I would try it . I've been told we ( bandsters ) often go through this at some point. I'm almost ashamed to post this but I'm sure some of you have been where I am tonight.. Have you ever crave that full feeling you use to get ? JDuran

.. Got my 3rd fill today and for he first time Dr Uchal had a problems finding my port, turns out my port has tilted. He says it's normal for this to happen and I should be ok. Anyway I'm down six pounds in three weeks so I'm happy and content with that.

Wrapped a towel around me last night for the first time since high school.. ( and im 33) Regular size towel.. The scale is not moving much but something is certainly happening..!! Just had to share with you guys..!

Definetly, you will know when your stuck trust me! Restriction you feel full rather quickly Stuck you feel the urge to vomit and usually do. At least this is my experience..

Or did my band get tighter almost three weeks after my last fill? I'm scheduled for another full Tuesday because I thought I needed it but the last 3 days have been green zone all the way..
