Hi Michelle, I am fairly new to the band also, 3 weeks post op, and new to this site. Seems that there are a lot of people that are in the same place as us or have been ther already. I have not lost anything since surgery. But am told it is normal. Excited to get my first fill on 9/6. The only advice I can give you at the moment is to follow the book the best you can. When you get to regular food, chew, chew, chew and chew some more. Small bites. I have only had a problem once with food getting stuck. Thought I was going to DIE!! Once I vomited I felt much better. But it took a whild to get to that point. Just follow what they tell you. You will do great I'm sure.

Well, I never expect to get full. That feeling is long gone. But what I have found helped was adding a 4th meal. Sometimes I will eat my lunch as early as 10:30 or 11 if I am really hungry. Then again around 2 and then dinner a few hours later.

Hello
I've actually been a member of the forum for almost 2 years but I haven't really been on the forum since I had my band put in almost 2 years ago.
I have not used my band to its full potential at all, and have not lost but 30 or so lbs and have about 150 left to lose I'm determined to get this right and finally lose some weight. I go to see my doctor tomorrow and most likely get a fill.
I need a support group and I think that my family members need to see me putting in some effort before they are jump gonna on board again. Therefore I'm here to get some support...if y'all are up to it!
I'm looking forward to participating and finally using the tool I'm lucky enough to have!
I look forward to getting to know everyone!
