Could be all of what Kitt3000 said or your band could have slipped. I would go see my doctor to have an xray to make sure

You will not feel like you have a band for a while. Everything is going to be easy to go down until you start getting your fills. I could still eat the same foods I ate before the surgery until about my second fill. YOu just have to have willpower now to help you until you get your adjustment or as they hate for us to say feeling restriction

Its official my 18 are to big. Gave them all away today . Woooohooo in a 16 comfortably. God is good!!!!!

Hi. Welcome to the group!!!

Lol I never been stuck. I told that to the PA she said well your doing things right. I worked out last night and did some upper body workout. My arms were burning. I'm going to move up to 7 days a week. That 30 minutes 5 times a week the PA said was the bare minimum. So I'm going to kick it up she said I would see more weight loss.

My stuff always go down easy. You ever thought you might just be eating right? I have yet to get stuck and that's what they don't want. Didn't you have a fill last week?

Went for second fill. They were happy with the progress and I am a little. I got on the scale lost about 4 more pounds. I need to update my ticker. Hunger staying away a little longer but I find some says are different than others. Anyone else experience that? One day the hunger stay away longer than someday?

I can make the right choices for the most but its the people around me what makes it hard lol

Its not hard as I thought it was going to be. My thing is when I do start to get hungry I turn into the incredible hulk lol I'm afraid I would over eat but I still can't eat a lot and stop when the hunger pain.go away. I been 270 for t years and looking at the scale seeing 250/252 I'm like wowsers. Lol I go for second fill Wednesday. I know I'm not close to the green zone but we shall see.

I know one does not lose 1-2 lbs a day. I'm not stupid. Yes when I went to doctor on the 17th of July I weighed 258 and when I went for my well woman check up I weighed 251 the following Monday. That was this pass Monday. My math was off lol so that's 7 lbs. I weighed myself at home and on a friend's scale to make sure that it wasn't a mistake and the numbers were accurate. I work with my band and work my tail off every day burning over 600 calories twice a day and take In less than that when I eat. Yes I stopped losing weight because I am still 251 on the scale since last Monday. That's how I know I've stopped losing.

That's crazy to me. I got my first fill no numbing medicine and it didn't hurt not one bit. The numbing medicine would sting like heck and it is worst. Now unless your port is deep and they have to dig I can understand but if ones pot is right there and in plain view it doesn't hurt

Ok Guys and Girls, I have another question. I realize I must asked until I really become seasoned like most of you on the banding and fills lol. I lost 9 lbs since the 17th when I got my first fill and stopped. So does it work like that? you get fills weight loss start and when it stops it times for another fill until you hit your green zone? That's what I am getting. Can any of the seasoned bandsters respond and let me know? When I went on the 17th I was only able to get .5cc which I think is nothing I am going back on Wednesday to see if my stomach will allow a little more.

I am going to the true results out my memorial city for a fill on Wednesday. There you can get an appointment every two weeks if you need it versus going to the office on south main. If everything works out I may just continue getting my fills out there. I lost 9 lbs since the 17th when I got my first fill and stopped. So does it work like that you get fills weight loss start and when it stops it times for another fill until you hit your green zone?That's what I am getting. Can any of the seasoned bandsters respond and let me know? Thanks I am also going to post this in the main forum to see if I can get a fast response. lol

Good for you!!!!!! Let me know how it goes

OK thanks for the info. I have another appointment for 4 weeks but they said if I feel the need I can come back in 2 weeks so I think that's what I might do but as of now I still eat three times a day and a cup full of food. However, I do have some yellow zone tendencies like looking for food but I do not eat once I stop and think "hey im not hungry" lol

OK Thanks for your input. I was nervous thinking oh my is this all I am going to ever get.

I had my fill Wednesday and could only get .5 cc which put m at 3.5. She tried to get me up to 5cc but it was to tight and when I drank the water I can feel it gurgling in my chest. Now everything is still going down easy again ! ! ! ! ! I am not hungry though as much and sticking to the 3 times a day meal and only a cup full. The PA said that some people in the start stomach get irritated with fills causing them to get a little at a time. Any of the old bandsters had this problem? Let a sista know LOL ! !
