I relate to this post soooo much , I've been banded two years and have become very lax about food choices , my weight is up and I know it's not a fill issue but a food choice issue . Good for you for getting things in check ,it's a good motivator !

I lost a full shoe size,so they definitely change

I actually get very nauseous when I haven't eaten in awhile it is the signal that tells me I really need to eat

I was sick right before, my Dr told me as long as I didn't have a fever all was well, ask your Dr about it

I was with Dr .Cobourn in Mississauga and the deposit was non refundable

Pasta to me now tastes awful like a lump of goo

Some days I think , wow I wish I could eat more of that it tastes so good , then I think so glad I cant and remember the number on the scale and smile and thank my band, you will get there liquid is the hardest but its the first step to many changes you will make and eventually you will be glad you saw it through .Good Luck

Start tracking your intake , I am carb sensitive and if I eat to many I won't lose ,maybe you are not eating enough or are having tomany sneaky calories , like in coffeeext

Awesome!

I had my very first fill today , very very conservative which is how I want to go and I was in a panic sweating started crying ( super afraid of needles ) and it was a big nothing a tiny bit of pressure then he was done .I am so relived

I am just getting returned hunger now 6 months out so I will be going for a fill but the first six months I had a complete absence of hunger and had to remember and sometimes force myself to eat as I had zero interest in food my family eating my favourite foods didnt have me so much as take a sniff , I think for some of us thats just what the band does

Thanks so much everyone ,the fear I have is always worse then the reality ....always lol

I was banded just over six months ago and have been doing awesome so far down 65 lbs! but lately I have been very hungry in between meals cravings ext so I made an appointment for a fill Feb 18 , I am TERRIFIED of needles so I am very nervous about the fill and also being overfilled . I havent had a stuck episode or an adverse effects so far so I am worried ,done venting

I would add instant decaf to my protein drinks and found them to taste much better

Its sooo not worth it, in a couple of days the craving will go away or at least not be as strong you can do this ! and you will be so happy you didnt give in
