Fab! Congrats

Ive 4cc's in a 10cc band. I think i'll be at green zone soon, i get satisfied from a small meal. Now for me this takes awareness because realisticly i could sit and eat slowly for an hour. So after 15/20mins i quit! If i rush my food it will get stuck quite easily. So never full, but satisfied, thats the goal right? Problem is i dont stay satisfied for very long, Doc thinks a small fill will give me this and help me not wanna snack between meals.

Yep went through this stage myself, im 10weeks out now and it hasnt bee plain sailing... Ive struggled to loose weight, felt like i couldnt do another diet, stressed out badly. I dunno what but something clicked and i just realised to hang in there until i get my restriction and it will be easier then. Its just not an option to fail, i have a wedding in august, my daughters communion next year and my own wedding in 2/3 yrs! I will walk down that isle slim and healthy My better attitude and relaxed approach has helped me loose 3lb this week!

I use to make really runny custard, if thats an option for you??

Ye we will lyd, its tough going esp when so many are loosing huge amounts of weight so quickly. It will be worth it in the end.

Can you all take capsules?? Ive been avoiding them but its becoming a problem lately due to long term meds im on

Oh i could have written your post, was banded 11/10! Lost 10lbs on liquids post op and since then nothing... My family and friends now i had it done so i feel like a failure known there looking at me weekly I also have 4cc's, due for another fill i 2weeks. At the moment i feel like im on a hard diet, im calorie counting and its hard to deal with the hunger, esp when im getting little results. I lost the plot with my weightloss consultant whos also my nutritionist on the phone the other day... I know it all takes time but its very frustrating

Great outcome, your on your way to the end result

Hey Lyd, i was banded 11/10 I lost 10lb from liquids post op but nothing since! Its very very frustrating and last week i began to panic that this wasnt gonna work, all my family and friends known it didnt work. Not gonna happen! Ive come to far to take that as an option, It'll take time, we'll get there. Btw ive had 2fills so far, my doc does them every 4weeks. Im at 4cc's, have slight restriction so im hoping i'll get to a sweet spot very soon. For now i have to calorie count, as crappy as it is! Im basically on another bloody diet!!

I was required to do low sugar/carb diet. Bmi was 37

Im from ireland, so not far away

Amazing outcome!! It makes me realise the 60lbs i need to loose is sooooo doable! I just need to shut up and do it. Can i ask do you ever have a bit of chocolate? Its the only thing i miss terribly, id love to be able to incorporate a small chocolate snack into my calories.

So do you? Im struggling to loose weight with not been at proper restriction yet. 9weeks post op! I calorie counted for a while and then stopped when my portions became smaller due to fills. Im back counting calories again, i use an app on my phone. The app tells me i need to eat 1200 or my body will go into starvation mode but ive seen some bandsters eat as little as 800 a day. So what is right??
