WTG cutie socks hows the class going it sounds like fun. Maybe I will check into skating use to do that when I was a kid.

hi welcome sounds like you have a great plan keep in touch a lot.

I was banded in Aug and lost 37 lbs but it wasn't till my 3rd fill till I didn't feel hungry any more.what makes the band work is the postion of the band and how long it keeps the food there so your brain get the message you have eaten so your fills are so important. Of course you have to follow your doctors eating rules it is a diet make so it takes work like anything else but now that I am not hungry ( in the green zone ) it makes it so much easier to stay on the diet and I don't feel like I am dieting at all just eating health. Ihave never felt that way b4 ( so this is what skinner people feel--cool).. I am thrilled remember the right amount in your band and the right foods make it a success....good luck

exactly

yes it is... burping is a good thing walking will help it also...stay on liquids today nd work up slowly you should feel fine tomorrow....gj

what a great job I know you must feel so powerful you will make your dream its just around the corner

OMG so sorry this has happened rest and get set up for the band...

good for you for coming here and be brave enough to tell us. We all want to to succed as we all do. This next they is very very hard and it will take all of your control. Empty your house from the foods not approved and you know what are. Try some different things to drink, chicken broth make your own, Snapple is my favotie, hot tea, coffee.after the third fill I m not hungry all the time, I eat but the clock and my tracker..The band works best when the fill is right and it will come for you. you also need time to heal and get rid on toxions in your body so this time is important use it for a new start on life. it is hard but I promise it gets better start setting yourself up...clean the house and go shopping you can do this.

what type of band shoudnt matter but whats in it should I have a 10cc band and after 3 fills have 6.5 in it and I am not hungry all day...it should stop the consistant thinking of food because you are satisfied...drink a loTrack you food and exercise and get your fills that is how the band works let it work with you.t helps of course..you should loss 6-8 lbs a month.

I did also but smaller bits chew and waiting between bits helped a lot. Now I burp but very little never did ffb4 so its a nice relief for me.. Gasx helps a lot also...your body is getting rid of toxions you have in your body from all that poor eating it will end.

it will work this time as long as you learn along the way and get those fill as soon as u need then specially in the beginning...it took me 3 and I never hungry any more the first time in my life and I love I will stay this way no matter what happens I am so worth it and so r u. u can get a fill every two wks if you need it don't wait if you need it I did and felt the way you do now and there is no reason that is the great thing about the band it really does help a ton.

the more u have to loss the faster it comes on in the begning you and men loss faster then us so keep up the good work.

I have a 10 cc band and 6.5 cc in it now and it has lasted 3 weeks I am very pleased. yesterday was the first day I got hungry and thought on no here I go again but today it is fine hopefully yours will to or go in for a .5 cc .

wow your family is perfect..........................how wonderful you look it gives us all hope thanks for posting

go in to the doctor talk about it get a fill empty you house of the no so good food.You could join weight watch even on line to get a jump start. Track, track, track everything that goes in yojr mouth and drink you water or Snapple, tea. hope this helps

I got my lapband on aug 20 and have loss 35 lbs so tell that person to go eat cake...your just fine and don't tell her again keep her guessing.

nice job

she right and it never ends gets less intents but you have it all plus the water gain so be sure to count that in.

get your fills on time every 14 days till you can go 4-5 hours with feeling hungry I didn't know that and suffered and felt like I always did on a diet then I got my 3 rd fill and it is great I eat like a real person never hungry and need to watch to clock and track every bit to stay health along the way.. gl on your road to wonderful.

I do line dancing twice a week at the senior center (all ages welcome) check yours out also on utube you can learn to dance any kind u like....good idea to get everyone doing it.

small bits and chewing is the key it cant be to small, get some infant ssilverware and put some in your pruse. clean you house out so there is no cheat food. this time of year is hard it takes a lot of work. After your fill drink your meals for a couple of days and broth give it time to to settle down...

I bought creamed soups then I made my own even when I could eat soilds I still made my own and did it twice a day and lost weight. It wsnt till my 3 rd fill did I feel I was getting help from the band now I do and just have to be careful on what I choice so it doesn't get stuck. Good luck

you should be getting a fill soon. the band doesn't work right away you need to heal and rest aft such a shock to the body. I have a 10cc and now after 3 fill have 6.5cc in it and I am never hungry in fact I have to watch the clock and track my meals to be sure I eat enough. this will come for you but yu need to do the work and this is the time to practice how to measure and solect foods that are right. Clean out your house so there is not food there you shouldn't eat. pack snacks and shakes with you when you go out so you have the right stuff with you. make this eork it tske seversl weeks to learn all this.

and use a heating pad, laxative and gas x to heat all the gas and to get things moving you will feel ton better it is so worth it. This part is hard but the rewards are great hang in there sometimes a tums or rolaids helped me give it a try.
