Heccat, I didn't set it at 900 calories..it says I should b consuming 1580 calories a day to lose 2lbs a week. I just got started on solid foods yesterday so it was just hard to get in over 900 on the mushie and liquids. I just put in whatever I was consuming and it just so happened to average at about 900. I am not trying to stay so low. I def don't wanna go into starvation mode. I have lost 13 lbs so far...it's been 15 days since my surgery so I fully expect that to drastically slow down very soon

WOW!! U guys r Truly amazing!!! Thank you so much for all your advice and for sharing your experiences. It has truly made me understand more about fills and getting stuck. Right now I am staying satisfied for three hour. I have been paying closer attention to the clock to see how long I am not hungry after a meal. I just started solids used yesterday so I still have some time to see how my restriction is and if it continues to b only three hours, I will def talk to my doc about a small fill. I am so glad I found this forum because without it I'm afraid I would b a little lost lol...thanks again

It's ok, I know u aren't targeting me. I thank u greatly for the info and advice. That's why I asked the question lol. I am starting solids today so hopefully by the 12th when I see my surgeon I will know whether or not I need a full. I just want to make the most out of getting my band without harming it or myself in any way. I really like that there r bandsters on here that are as knowledgeable as u

Don't get me wrong...I am VERY hungry shortly before meal time lol....I was hungry only a few days after surgery. Guess I will just roll with it and see how I am feeling hunger wise at my next appt

My surgery was two weeks ago on the 19th and I have an appt on sept 12th to see if I need a fill or not. U r right tho, I start solids today via my drs instruction and I should wait to see how solids affect my hunger. Thanks for the advice

I am on mushies and get to start solids today. I made myself some mashed cauliflower last night and WOW was it good!!!! I had never had it before last night. Anyone else had anything since banded that they had never had before and found it absolutely delicious???

I was just wondering if anyone on here has ever chosen to not have any fills? My surgeon placed 4cc in my 10cc band during surgery. I am still on mushies and after I eat, I am satisfied for 3 to 4 hours and I think I have decided that I don't want a fill. I am deathly afraid of vomiting or getting stuck. I have been logging my intake on MyFitnessPal and have been consuming less than 900 calories a day since I started mushies. I get to start on solids today. I think I would rather b a little hungry before my next meal than to run a risk of having a stuck episode or throwing up. So, I was just wondering if and when anyone has chosen to not get a fill....thanks..any advice is greatly appreciated

I'm so sorry to hear this. It really touches my heart. I lost my grandma last year in July. We were extremely close. She was more like my mother and best friend than my grandma and it still hurts to this day. I know that I don't know me but my heart truly goes out to u and if u need someone to talk to that understands the close relationship with a grandma....I will listen. Hearts & thoughts

I don't drink either but it was a question I asked my surgeon before surgery. I have been know to partake in the spirits in the past but haven't in the past two years. I just wanted to know I case I ever got the urge again lol

The sore throat is prob from the tube used down your throat during surgery. Cough is pretty normal too I've heard also from the tube and the anesthesia. If u start running fever u should call your dr. Don't know about the blisters on the lips tho...hope u feel better soon
-
My surgeon said that its never good to have a lot of alcohol because of the empty calories but if u r at a party or get together and u want to have a cocktail or two, it's fine. No beer tho
cuz of the carbonation.

Thanks...I managed to make it thru my meal without any problems. I just have this HUGE fear of throwing up!!! Scares me to death!!!! I actually ended up dumping out the puréed bowl and go a regular bowl of chili cuz I felt more in control I guess lol. Made me feel a little better about eating
-
My doc put me on mushies and I made some chili with ground turkey and puréed it and I'm scared to deaths to eat it!!!! I am taking tiny bites and I feel like I'm gonna cry!!!! Will I ever get over the fear of eating and having something get stuck?!?!?
