I am in...starting weight today 218... Hope 2 lose 10 lbs. Good luck everybody...

I have a 4cc band and had a fill about one month ago. I felt restriction and then in about two weeks it went away. Well guess what? I feel like I am too tight. I have vomitted twice within 3 days and I never threw up before. Can this happen. Has this every happened to any of you? Please let me know what is going on. I cant hardly eat anything.

This is a great idea for nurses to come together like this. I am a RN also. I am a Lead Nurse at a prison in Georgia. I know this is a little different from what everyone elso does, but I actually enjoy what I do. It takes a special person to do this type of nursing. I do the same task that I performed in the hospital setting, just on inmates are my patients. I had surgery on August 17th and have lost 26 lbs so far. I would have love to have lost more, but I know it is a slow process. My plans are to be lost 50 lbs by my 6th mth anniversary. (Feb 17th)

I down 8 lbs so far. 17 more to go.

I am staying on plan today because, I am worth it!!!!! Also, I want to see the scale say 224 by next Saturday, Sept 22.:clap2:

:whoo:I accept your challenge. I go for my first fill Thursday, Sept 13. I will start walking a chalk line tomorrow, buy making sure I eat the right foods, drink plenty of H2o, exercise daily, and weight once every 2 wks. My starting weight before starting challenge 230, by Halloween 215. (boy that looks good - 215)

I am having the same problem. I had surgery 8/17 and I have no restriction. I have lost about 14 lbs also, but I am eating more and more. I am having a fill on 9/13 so maybe I will begin to lose weight then.

I was banded on August 17th and have lost about 14 lbs including pre op diet. I am having a fill on Sept 13th. What can I expect as far as weight loss after fill? I have no restriction now so I can still eat a good bit although it is less than what I was eating before surgery. On average how much weight do yall lose a week? My goal is to lose 10 lbs a month. Is this realistic? I do lose weight pretty fast, although I am at a standstill now because of my eating more. I exercise everyday (walk 2 miles at 5:00 am before being at work at 7:00 am.)

I was banded on Friday and have been messing up ever since. I was in so much pain the first couple of days that I couldn't eat hardly anything. Today and yesterday I have truly F@#ked up. I have been eating everything but the kitchen sink. I still haven't been able to eat much, but I eating things that I know I am not suppose to have. I ate mashed up peas yesterday and 1/2 cup of fried rice from the Chinese rest. today. Can someone please help me !!!!!!!!!!!! I did not go through all of this for nothing. I have 60 lbs to lose and and my first 2wk follow up is Wed 8/29. I don't know what is wrong with me. HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHelp:help:

I had surgery Friday, August 17th and I am having painful gas pains. The surgery sites are fine except for a little sore when I try to lift up or turn my direction. Does anyone have any suggestions. Also, the morning of my surgery I weighed 230. I weighed this moring and I weight 231. I haven't hardly drank anything yesterday because of the tight feeling I get. I am going to start on my protein shakes today. Can anyone help me?:help:
