I still do that from time to time old habits are to hard to breck but that's what this trip is all about learning....Thanks for reminding us about the beginning

pooping is the best thing u can do to feel better also use a heating pad that also keeps thing moving

no one will take it out unless causing you added health problems I would have complained long before this. The nurse is wrong and they r there for you, you paid them a lot of money for this and you should be able to use it right. Call Monday and ask for the manager and tell them your story if they don't do something right now for you tell them you want a referral and you plan on call the better busness and the AMA they need to learn how this band works and use it correctectly.. make it a big fuss.. M<y doctors office hired a new nurse when I was due for my first fill and she was giving me the talk that your nurse did I felt some pressure but I told her I wanted my first fill like promised she agreed but couldn't find the port so had to call the doctor in. I started asking him about what she had said and he corrected her right ther e. The next time she had a whole different view I havea 10 cc band with 6.5cc in it and its doing the job and I could have gone in in 14 days for a bit more. Do read every word here cause she isn't telling you the right thing...

I feel just because I have a band doesn't mean to toss out all other basic rules for losing weight. I eat every 4 hours wheather hungry or not the body needs food..i have a Protein Drink b4 going to the gym, body needs calls to work out. I got by calorie intake and of course Protein. the band helps me not feel straving or really hungry but common sense says I need fuel. Do what works best for yu and what you csn do forever.

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

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.

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

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 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 .

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

It taskes more then one meal to gain weight. Gather the leason you learned and prepare for Christmas and get your fills before then...it was a life saver for me I couldn't eat more then a few bits cause the turkey/stuffing got stuck for a long time....the right fills is the answer for me...I had to thank my band for a job well done.....If you were the cook get rid of the food.< /p>

almost all diet programs tells you to track and you proved it worked for you. most doctor aren't dieters so they don't really know the daily problems we have. The know how to make a living on helping us but often don't know how to do it the long way. People on here do know and are living it so they can help more. Get back on your tracker and clean your house out of not so good food...you can do this along with us

Gave all left overs away and only cooked a breast not the whole bird and froze the other half. I love turkey,mayo,cranberry suce on white bread twice a day till the turkey is gone. not one snadwitch this year I am so far ahead.. also first bit of turkey got stuck so the meal was over for me until the next day and I just save a 1/2 c potoes and 1/4 c stuffing (357 cals) but tracked it and I am fine specially after going to the gym before I ate that...I am so proud of myself I think I am going to do it this time. yippppeee
