I am down 30 as well and don't see a change. I was speaking to a close friend that also has been banded and she had lost 150lbs and SHE doesn't see a difference either. I think we let ourselves go for so long that we can't see a change.

Really? Do you feel hungry too? Or is that just me?

Hi friends! Hope someone can help me here. I've had 2 fills and both times I've had horrible gas. I'm also having issues with my stomach growling all day. Has anyone else experienced this? How do I make it stop? Ugh! Not sure if its digestion or hunger. I'm currently eating mushy foods.

How many cc's is a normal first fill!? Can anyone help!!?

Thank you Wildrose! I thought I was drinking too much or too fast or even because I was using milk for the protein shakes. I appreciate the response!!

Hi Friends! I am on my second week being banded. First week - all clears I lost 14lbs. I started my 2nd week Thursday with the protein shakes and blended foods and I haven't lost 1 lb since. Is this normal?? Anyone having the same problem?

Thanks Floridays, I will def try that!!

Thanks soooo much! I was afraid. I know what you mean about "missing". I won't mention what happened already. Lol. But again, thanks for the reply. I didn't think it was normal, considering I haven't eaten!

So I was banded 11/8 (3 days ago) I am on my all clears for a week. And I suddenly have the runs. Is this normal? Should I be worried? I hate to be descriptive but it's like water help!

I was banded yesterday and I feel the exact same way. I thought there was something wrong with me. Can't tell if its gas or hunger. It's driving me nuts.

According to my drs instructions I am supposed to be drinking a minimum of 48-64 ounces daily. I was banded yesterday. You don't want to get dehydrated.

I got banded yesterday too and my pain is starting to subside. I've been drinking low sodium chicken broth and I think that's what is bringing up the gas for me. Try it!
