This is what happens to me when I eat: When I get toward the last couple spoonful's on my little plate I eat extremely slow and I can pretty much tell when it is going to happen. I love getting hiccups, it's my sign that I have had enough!!! Sometimes I can even put those last couple bites in the garbage. Listen to your body and you will do great!!!

Jean, thank you for taking the time to share this much needed information with all of us!

My hubby of 34 years knows that I get on this site to gain knowledge from long time banders. I thank and appreciate every post and blog that helps keep me in check with reality. To do this alone would not be as rewarding as reading other peoples post or looking at the success pictures. I love this site!!! No, he does not get on this site but if he ever wanted to I would have no problem with it. He is fortunite to have never had weight issues. Thanks for everyone taking the time to help new banders, you all have helped me tremendously!!!

I had to wait 6 weeks

Congrats, makes me smile!

You look fantastic!!!! Your hard work sure paid off!!! Congrats to you

It took me 3 weeks after surgery before I could sleep comfortably on my stomach and now I have no problem at all.

OMG, you are awesome!!!

how many weeks after surgery can we get in chlorine?

I asked when I went to get my first fill (6/12/13) and was told "never again". From what I have read on this board some dr's say it is ok so you might have to ask yours when you go for follow up visit.

That is fantastic!!! A person who has never had weight issues could not understand the feeling of pride you must be feeling!!! For us that have had weight issues think that a medium is awesome!!!!! Congrats

WOW, that is fantastic!!! Congrats to you on all your hard work, happy for you

My surgery was 5/15 and I had my first fill on 6/12 and not scheduled till 7/3 for my second fill. I was told no core exercises for 60 days after surgery. I do walk, work my arms and inner/outer thighs for toning. No weights at this time but maybe I will be allowed very soon
