such dramatic results! Now my question is how many needed TT to remove the excess skin from the large amount of weight loss.

I'm just shy of a full 6 months by a few more days. But i was banded 12/30/2011 and i'm now down 36 lbs! it's been slow coming off but at least it's still coming off and not going back on!

I had the fill on may 9. They removed .5 cc on the 16th. So I'm about a week and half out from the unfill

Well I had Chinese food for lunch. Which is a pretty small portion bc I'm picking around the things I can't eat. I did well with holding down their chicken bc it was cut very very small and their grilled shrimp (3 medium shrimp) I chewed and chewed and everything stayed down and I was very satisfied. Which there is still enough for at least two or three more small meals. I remember when I could eat a full plate in one setting and now it takes me 2-3 meals to eat the same amount. I'm about 80 lbs from goal. I dunno maybe I wasn't chewing enough or maybe there are foods I just won't be able to eat again bc they are too tough to digest. We are in the process of moving. Hence why I'm eating takeout. I can't eat bread anymore and it is one thing I miss the most. Ty guys for all of your feedback. Maybe I should try different ways to prepare the meat to make it easier to eat and digest. I'm just so used to baking chicken or grilling chicken breast and keeping it super moist. So maybe I should chop or dice it up?

Had a fill at the beginning of may. They gave me 2 cc in which I could barely hold down water. After a week I was finally able to get an unfill but she only took out .5 cc. Afterwards I was able to eat some solids but not much. I'm wondering if I'm still overfilled or if I'm maybe taking too big if bites or not chewing enough. But it's really uncomfortable when I eat. And if I eat chicken even if it's super moist I can only handle a few bites before I feel like I'm going to get sick. It's more of a stuck feeling. Slider foods go down fine but even those I have to eat in small portions or I get sick. I'm no where near 1 cup. I'm more around half a cup of food or even a fourth depending on the food. I also found after this fill I can't eat broccoli and I love broccoli. I have issues with pickles and apples too. I keep hoping that maybe I need to just chew more but I really do try to take small bites and chew a lot when it comes to solids like this. Should I schedule another unfill or just keep trying to eat and be more aware of my chewing habits ?

I know I'm going to sound horrible but oh well! I haven't been excersizing that much. Just walking when I find time. Between work and kids I'm exhausted by the end of the night. But food wise I try to eat healthy. I eat more salads and soups and try to push myself to drink a protein shake in the morning. I eat two eggs for breakfast that has become my routine. I try to push for 70 g protein a day. But it doesn't always happen but I do make sure I stay under 1300 calories a day. I got over filled at my last appt and I couldn't get back in for a week. So now I'm at 5.5 cc in 10 cc band.

Feeling

Ty guys! I still got a long ways to go. But it feels great just losing what I have. The best feign was shopping for clothes and I went down three pant sizes and two shirt sizes!! I'm looking forward to when I can fit into size 14 or lower and not have to shop in specialty stores.

Well there needs to be an edit button on this iPhone app.
