I went from 5.3 to 5.8 in my last fill so a .5 fill. I ate ok after it over the weekend etc but the last 2 days have been brutal - my friend (fellow bander) thinks my stress level is also causing some of it but I just want this to be a healthy wls journey and not get sick because I am not getting my protein in.

You and I are in the same boat - I feel like an unfill is saying I was wrong for asking for more but I can't get my protein in and I don't want to be unhealthy in my wls journey.

I am at 5.8 ccs of a 10 cc band and I am a week out from my last fill. I am having trouble drinking my Protein shakes and Water - I can sometimes get things down just fine (over the weekend I ate what I needed) but for the last 2 days I have had multiple spells of throwing up even after drinking only water. Need some guidance all

Checking to see how we all are doing? Fills? Lbs down? Story sharing?

Isn't it the best???? I bought my first medium this weekend in Lerner NY - I could barely fit in their xL before surg!!!!!

Hey so your words def spoke to me-- so how are you eating as you get to green zone- I have days where I can eat but others like today that I can barely keep broth down. I am at 5.8ccs of my 10ccs band and lost 50lbs since surg in Dec 12

I have PCOS and plan I go back soon to see if I have changed at all since getting my band. I do have some diff occurrences with bacterial infections now that I don't eat as much so I am ready for those to go away!! My cycles have been consistent. Banded 12/19/12 Wt @ surg 264 Current wt 224

Awesome job, CONGRATS!!!! So I am 6 mo in and down 46 filled at 5.3 of 10cc band and seemed to have hit a plateau- any advice?

Awesome, CONGRATS!!!!

So I usually choose the low carb options for my Protein drinks but this morn I didn't have that option and my asst had one of the instant breakfasts.... So my question is do you all ever get sick when you drink something super sweet- I mean I drank one swallow and got sick!! Still understanding my band! 4 1/2months and 41 lbs down

Congratulations - Seems as if we are both on the lose 10lbs a month journey - I am 4 months post op and have lost 40!!

What determines the band size- I have a 10cc band and currently at 5.3 ccs which is where I finally feel restriction.

Is stuck different than throwing up mucus after eating something you shouldn't? Still learning

I noticed it in my waist line and back first -- I have also gone from a 42ddd to a 38ddd so get ready for some changes!! I also was a size 18/20 presurg and I bought a size 12 last weekend!!

I drink the vanilla premium protein from Sams and they are great!!

I love the MyFitFoods protein powder and I mix it with chocolate milk or Milk and apple juice- it is a great whey protein!!

Hello - I am from Dallas as well. I was banded in December and I am more than happy to be your buddy Send me a message and we can exchange numbers if you want to. Also this site really helped me learn about things! Where are you having your surg?

I wanted to know if we are still on for today or do we want to reschedule? Let me know

Well I think we could all meet around 2p and go walking and then stop by Starbucks for some tea after -- We could meet at the Shops at Legacy as there are plenty walking trails around here. I am excited - please let me know if you can come!!!!

I don't know how to do the weight loss ticker - can you do it via the app? I guess during this transition phase I just am concerned I am not getting enough to eat -- and I am going to always have a sore throat if I keep this up. A little about me Surg Date 12/19/12 Starting weight 264 Current weight 5/6/13 225 5.3 ccs full of a 10cc band

I travel this week but home on Sunday...... Y'all interested?

I really appreciate you alls comments - this really helped I have had people just tell me that's needed to get ccs taken out but I think it is more education and me learning. The main thing is I just cough up slime (I know gross) some episodes are worse than others .... i just need to take it slow I guess.... I am so glad to hear others experience this and I am not doing it wrong.

I am still getting stuck- had my last fill on April 25. I need help in understanding......some days I can eat fine while others I can't seem to keep anything down. Any experience in this would be appreciated.
