Well it is now three days after my last fill and it has slacked off a little. I guess is was just a little bit of swelling from the fill that made me feel the restriction! Hopefully next time it will be back to where I was a few days ago.

Fill number 4.... not sure why i got ahead of myself and said 5.

This is a question for those of you in your green zone.
I received fill number 5 today. I am now at 6.1cc in a 10cc band. Was it like an "ahh ha" moment when you reached the green zone? I know it is only the first day since my latest fill but it feels like it made a huge difference!
Just curious if it is my brain playing tricks on me or could the green zone be possible???

Thank you ladies for your comments! I feel like I am a failure because I am not sticking to the rules and not losing any weight.
I need to kick myself in the butt and start doing what I should have done all along. I also haven't been checking this website which gave me a lot of motivation prior to surgery. Another downfall on my part.

I was banded in July 2012. I lost 20lbs prior to surgery, it felt great! I have now had three fills, with 5.7cc in a 10cc band.This past fill really made a difference!
I am still hungry every 2.5 hours though. I feel like I am failing big time! I haven't lost anymore weight since surgery and even gained 4 lbs since my last appointment.
I just feel like I have lost all my motivation. I am an extremely picky eater, which is what got me in this position in the first place. I need to do a little soul searching to kick start my process again.
I am just venting.... thanks for listening!

Yes, I can eat just fine. I have never been stuck before but I would imagine it to be somewhere near my chest. I, of course, could be wrong but the pain was right under neath my left ribcage. This morning when I woke up it was gone, so hopefully it will remain that way.

I am 3.5 weeks post op and have been eating slowly, chewing my food and having no issues. Today I had lunch during a meeting and I guess I got caught up and started taking to big of bites.
I have this horrible pain under my left rib cage. It’s a shooting, stabbing pain. It has been going on for about 4 hours now. What should I go? I actually almost buckled from the pain in the hallway at work. I have taken some papaya enzymes just to see if it would help, but no luck. I have left a message with the nurse just waiting to hear back.

I had wine at about a week and a half. No problems but I sure did feel it a lot quicker.

I just started my mushy phase today... had refried Beans with salsa for lunch. Not sure how well its going down. Seems to be a bit sluggish. Anyone else experience that? I am trying mashed potatoes tonight. I can't wait until I can eat real food again. I have been craving my favorite restraunt.

I have an awful taste in my mouth as well. It makes everything taste bad, I never have an appetite. Hopefully it goes away soon.

You both look amazing! I hope to have s success story like you.

My doctor said when they start cracking I can start pealing it off.... But it won't go anywhere. I even tried alcohol.

Has anyone else experienced a feeling like they have a ball or something stuck in the back of their throat? I am only 1 week post op and everytime I eat (drink my liquids) I get this feeling.

I started taking them yesterday, 5 days post op.

You will do great! It's amazing the difference a week makes. I'm a week banded and you were still waiting to hear back from Trus Results. Good Luck!

Every time I took my pain meds I ate another gas x strip. I must have had 6 a day because I would she up through the night in pain and walk and take more medicine. I'm still depressed.... Home alone today while everyone is at a BBQ.
