Yes! I am finding it hard to stick to proper diet. I am a carb addict.Brickfish: In loving memory of Baby (submitted for "I Deserve $1,000 Because" Video Essay Contest)

That is so fucken encouraging!

Hey BJean! I'm really glad you posted about eating solids immediately after a fill, b/c yesterday I had my second fill. After I got home I ate the rest of my leftover calzone from the night before - I wanted real food! I hope this is ok.

I just had my first fill today , ( 4 cc's ) hooray! But, I just have one question. How do I know I've hit my sweet spot? What dose "having restriction" feel like? Can anyone describe the feeling of having restriction for me?

I'm getting my first fill tommorrow the 24th of september! Yay! I'm nervous that it will hurt, and also I am not allowed to eat after 7pm tonight, and can't drink or eat after 7am tommorow, (fill day). My fill time is set for 3:40 pm, I wonder why I have to not eat and drink so far in advance. Any words of wisdom?

Lizgroover- 8/16/2007-Philadelphia- Dr.Williams Whats up, whats down everyone? My weight is down 17 pounds!:clap2:

This is very disturbing! I will never go to france if this is true.

I have lost 17 pounds since my surgery, 1 month ago! I eat a lot still, but get full quicker than before I was banded. I definetly eat much slower!

I totally agree!

This is what I ate yesterday: Breakfast-2 hardboiled eggs Lunch-2 cheese sticks dipped in ranch Snack-2 more cheese sticks dipped in ranch Dinner- 3 meatballs Dessert- Jello and cool whip

Yes! Pets ARE kids!

I agree with the advice the guy gave you, ( I am a personal trainer ). That is the key to burning fat, not training your heart for "cardio" workouts.

Michee- Thanks for helping, It's good to know I'm not the only one. Also I will try bringing treats on our walks.

Dog walking problem-Help! My 95 pound dog pulls only when other dogs are around-its a problem being 2 weeks out of surgery. Last week I walked him ( 1 1/2 weeks post op), and he pulled as we passed another dog enering my building, it really hurt! Tonight was worse! I hope I didn't tare my stitched-I don't want band slippage! Imput please.

Thanks for helping. I went to the whole foods store, and trador joes and both places did not have protein bullets.

I was banded on the 16th, and I totally gorged on reeses Peanut Butter cup icecream! I am so depressed!

Hi Julita! We are both able to eat what ever we want-I thought I was the only one. Also I am so hungry, never feel full, and its hard to get in all my liquids while avoiding drinking 1/2 hour before and after meals. How do others manage?

Hi everyone! I was just banded on 8/16/07, and I'm already starting on pureed today! Hooray! It's good to chat with other bandsters like myself, I'm glad I found this site.:clap2:

I am starving! I just got my band on th 16th.
