  1. You're doing great lady!!! Stay motivated!!! Keep exercising and start tracking your food!!! At least then you can be accountable for what u are eating!!! Protein!! Protein!!! Protein!!! I've lost more inches too!!! Stay motivated u are doing great!!!


  2. I had 5 cc in a 10 band. I did get fill 1 month later and still not in the green zone!!! Hopefully u hit it quickly! So far I'm going for 3rd fill!!! Think I'm extremely close but not quite there!!! Pre op wt 258!!! Day of surgery 248 and today 230!!! Surgery date was April 8, 2013 and right at 2 months out


  3. That's so unfair!!! I'm still proud of you!!! You've done an outstanding job!!! They don't know the band is just a tool!!! It doesn't make you work out like you have for 18 months to loose the weight!!! God will bless you in another way and your blessing will exceed $25,000!!!


  4. I understand you being discouraged!!! Don't be!!! You have started exercising 6 days a week! That's phenomenal.

    I was banded 4/8/12 pre-op diet 258. Date of surgery 248. Today with 1 fill 235. So I understand not a lot of weight loss but I hv lost a lot of inches... Clothes fit better and I feel better.

    Don't focus on the pounds. My mom said just stay on track. Track your foods and calories. Get your Protein in. I've been working out 4-7 days in a week. I don't regret the band. I know I haven't had the weight loss desired and actually lost more after surgery but stay on track. Get with nutrionist and see what you can do to boost your metabolism. A lot of people have drastic losses that I was hoping for but this is a lifetime change. Stay focused and keep your determination!!!!

    Good luck lady and stay encouraged!!!


  5. I was banded 4/8/13...I was filled with 5. On date of surgery. I had fill May 1, 2013. .7 for a total 5.7. Weight is fluctuating after off mushies. I was sticking to 1200 calories. They told me to change to 1100. So far I've kept 10-12 ibs off. I have a 10 cc. I was told I was eating to much sugar. Jello/pudding. I've taken that put and dropped back to 15 pounds. Still no real restriction but I have been staying full.

    I just need help with food choices. I've lost a ton of inches. I'm in jeans I haven't worn comfortably in years. Down to 16. But I hope to loose 60 -75 more.

    They scheduled me for another fill in 2 weeks.


  6. I got one yesterday. I was scared too but it was easy breezy like getting flu shot. Don't look and you will be fine.

    They had me lie down first. They then pulled Fluid out measured amount and then reinserted it and added a little more.

    They then had me sit in lobby and drink a cup of Water. If you can drink comfortably no problems ... Good to go.
