Jenny- my goal weight is 175 I started this journey at 410 and I am currently at 340. I have 10cc as of yesterday in my band. I never really felt restriction until now. I can't even finish my protein shake I am still working on it from this morning I have had 8oz total today I think. I am getting a lot of conflicting information from my surgeon and my trainer so they settled on something which was 3 small meals and I can snack but right now I had a 1/4 of an avocado for lunch I feel comfortable right now so I am stopping, but some of my coworkers brought cake and sandwiches, but it makes my mouth water but I'm not hungry. There's I guess the head hunger. What was your initial weight and how much have you lost total?

Hey mike! congrats on taking your first steps that is great. I wish you lots of luck in your journey I started at a BMI of 65 and I am down to a BMI of 58. I had surgery Feb 29th I figured having it on a leap year would bring me luck. Lol

Jenny- definitely not. I had to lose 50lbs in order to even get the lapband. What's your goal weight? How is everything going for you this far? When was your surgery day?

Good luck! it is definitely worth the life change.

Thanks! I did a happy dance for a bit now I need to lose a bit more to get the encouragement I need. When do you feel exactly when you feel resistance? I feel like something is stuck in my throat.... Is that resistance?

Hi all, My name is Betty I got my band feb. 29th of this year. I have yet to get the results I want. I got the 14cc band and I just got my 4th fill today. I am up to 10cc right now. I wonder has anyone had the problem where you feel a little short of breath after fills? The band has helped me shed 40lbs, but I feel that it has not helped me a lot. I am still always hungry and I try to figure out when I am satisfied. My biggest hurdle is the over eating. I am almost at my 5 month mark. Does anyone have any particular signs of fullness? I know all people are different, but it would help to know. Thanks!
