So I was banded on April 7 th . I had my first fill May 15. I have 2 cc total. I am always hungry. And I feel like I can eat normal portions!! Is this bandster hell !!

Ok just got back !! Wasn't bad at all. Just a pinch ! They added 1 cc now I have 2 cc.

So I get my first fill today. Very nervous ! Hope all goes well. I definitely need one I have been struggling with hunger last two weeks . May 7th was one month. Down 25 pounds. Hopefully this fill will jump start my weight loss

It does get better day 3 post op I was feeling somewhat normal. Sore but normal I was banded 4/7 by the end of that week I was already out and about. First few days all I wanted to do was sleep. Just take it easy. And congrats on your new beginning

Thanks everyone. I due for a fill on may 15 th hopefully that will help. For now iam trying to drink lots of fluids in between.

So iam almost 1 month post op as of may 7. I was doing fine as far as hunger. This week I feel hungry after 2 hours !! Does this mean I need a fill ? And is it ok if I eat a little more than the recommended amount?

Hey..so confused. I was banded on 4/7. I have lost 21 pounds 11 pounds was pre-op. This whole week the scale has not moved ! I started mushies Monday. I have been walking 1 mile everyday.

Oh gosh ok..glad this is normal ?? I guess lol. I was worried it had something to do with the mushies stage.. ohh fun

So today is day 2 of mushies..was doing great. But today I had the worst diarrhea attack..it seems after an hour after eating I have to go. Is this normal ? Worried

I was banded on the 7th . Just wondering what to expect at my first visit with surgeon. I know they will be ripping off the bandages. .oouucchh

So next week is three weeks I have been banded...and I start mashies/ soft food. Some examples on my list is tuna salad, eggs, runny oatmeal ect.. I am actually terrified to start eating. Did anyone have trouble with mushiness ? Or will it all go down easy?

I hear ya same hear. I think today is first day that I dont feel horrible gas pains. Iam in shock too ! I sit here and think wow I actually did it !. Cant wait to finally enjoy life
