Question I have a band now not happy with it probaly my fault but i was thinking of a sleeve any one done this let me know thanks

yes the first few hardly anything after the a week but now i am up to 7 cc in a 14 cc band i am there . put it this way me and my wife can split a 6 inch steak and i be eating around 2 1/2 inches of it ful till the next day

Weight loss is differnt for evreryone i was stuck a 319 pounds for almost 3 months now its going down again. all i eat is mostly meat and if i do it right i can eat some vegs but vry little . i do drink protien shakes for the good stuff i can not eat.

Well i get the hipcups and if i go on my mouth will fill up with slim i guess thats what it is called then off and running to the bathroom nor a good feeling but time goe on you learn what it is and then u know to stop.

Good luck it will all be worth it

was a Breakfast sandwich minus the bread only ate the egg and little of the sauage. and for information i did not glup the Water was a small drink probaly a fast one thought LOL

Well probaly not that bad but let me tell you this much, Wife and I had a late lunch, I only had a plain hamberg. which filled me up, around 8:30 pm I thought I was hungery so grab something small to eat and a bottle of Water, holy cow what a Big mistake that was it felt like the water I drink got stuck and would not me do anything felt like a gas bubble. like if you drink a real cold soda fast. for a split second could not beather which was not true but i did gag and vomit my water up. so lessson learn again which is a on going thing for me and problay a bunch of others

Bread for me is also a no no but like we have to try once awhile and ooops there goes stuff like a tomato, had a peice of chess and peprione bread last night thought i was gonna bust. That be last of the bread now,

Been there and still struggling and i think i also going back my protien shakes for aweek or so liquried diet maybe

i am now at 7 cc of a 14 cc band and i do think i am just about there i stay full almost all day from the night before. Only thing i need to do is stop drinking coffee after i eat my dinner because doing so i am no longer full . i think it is it is washing down my food. As i am sitting here i can still feel full, but i am craving for something sweet, as i read in other formuns that will pass i am hoping soon. Also as far as my weight its been staying close the last two months has not changed much. i think i gained a pound since my last fill and fill before that was i gained a ounce. but now i think i am going to make it right, another reason is i am getting discoreaged because my wife told me i lost the weight she would also and quit smoking but she gaining and i am sorta losing

Same problem I had but learning to a slower, also stress has a lot to do with no6t eating slow, I have 7 cc in a 14 cc band I am almost there but time will tell it takes about two weeks to see how much food you do eat. Also I did the unfill at first mistake very discoveging because youeat twice as much. you remmber the band is a tool

Well I know that feeling chicken was one of my favorite foods to eat now if i eat any it must always have to be the dark meat, white is out to dry, as far as being full up i think i am starting to undrstand that part. most times when i think i am full i stop eating and wait, most times i find out that i am full and then i stop. if i do not stop i be running to the bathroom and food does not taste the same second time around..

You will find that after a week or so you eat more then u think you should biggest thing is called will power and get the fills right. myself been finding that out my self i also go on the 11 for a another fill, i should be getting close now since i am half full already but no rush, any case good luck in school and keep smiling it will all be worth it

Weight loss back on track again starting to see some weight loss, but a funny thing was happing up til now i had no clue why i was feeling full and was not able to eat, i thought my band was to tight the problem was that i can only use the bathroom like once a week pass my bowl so for some strange reason was giving me pressure and tell me that i was full. it happened a week ago and never dawn on me that was going on. yes i tryied Fiber and no help. so i found out if i drink hot coco i can use the bathroom. just figured i share a strange thing since i had my band the longest out of the people on this posting thanks for linstening

Well i am glad all is good with you as far i am going weight is at a stand still, had a check up and fill today and i gained 2 ounces which i was not thrilled about. so Dr Marker which was there today put another 1.5 cc in for a total of 7 cc in my band hopefully it works better. now i am half full i was told. The scale is not anyones friend for the first few months we all go on it hoping for a micreal happens to some but not others i be happy if i can start to lose 2 pounds aweek or more,
