I everyone I wanted to check in. I had my first fill about a week ago, I feel great I'm down 73 lbs and loosing quickly. I fill great, I've been exercising more and finally toning. I'm down three pant sizes and maybe working on the next size down. I do a lot of Water aerobics and walk a bunch. I hope everyone else is doing good. I had 1.4cc filled out of my 4cc band.
Eating about 1/3 cup and I'm full. Gotta eat about 40-60g of protien and fit in what else I can between veggies and fruit. I make my own own ton chicken wraps and been eating great. Finally I have left overs in the fridge. Feels so weird to have extra food. Guess my friend will help with that.

Hello all you banders out there.
I was banded two weeks ago Saturday June 28th
I am doing great and I am down 38lbs not including my pre op diet this is all after surgery.
I'm feeling full after 1/2 cup of good high Protein food. I'm on mushies and lots of Beans and tofu and lentils. Downfall my cucumber dip but has lots of Protein. Cottage cheese is my other favorite for the week. eggs and many other things. Of course the baby bullet is perfect for me. I love it. Right size and blends great.
I have not had a fill or any exercise with my plan. I will after I am 6 weeks out. I hope all your bands are working too. I wish you the best luck on your journey.
No sugar, no soda and I'm following my plan to a tee. I haven't cheated or feel tempted yet.
Hope your day is well tomorrow.
Take care

I can't chug Water yet. I can only hold 1/2 cup of mushers thought my day and I'm full for up to 4-5 hours so I have to wake up early and eat food throught my day and drink lots
I'm down 32 lbs I'm 13 days.
That's since surgery as of saturday June 28th
Congrats on your loss
Keep it going

Everyone is different in the band. I have a regular allergen band not a green zone or anything. I stick to my diet plans. No sugar no soda and no junk food. All good fresh juice from my juicer and fresh mushies and food. No cheating even if your hungry. Lots of protien and I don't count my calories just 40-60 grand if protien a day.
I walk a bunch easy things but I have only 1/2 cup of food I can't eat that much. I feel full and when I'm hungry I eat. No Kate night snacking either.
It's been two weeks and I'm down 38lbs now I have been doing what my BFF did 6 years ago being banded and nothing is wrong with her. She gets fills and barium swallows to follow up and regular X-ray checks and she's fine keeping the weight off.
You are what you put into your mouth and chew and take your time. Because it's your time to keep the weight off.
Everyone is different I haven't had any fills and I won't until I stop loosing the weight.
My doctor said when your hungry eat but only eat 1/2 cup and then eat few hours more so in not stuffing my stomach expanding it more and more. Plus I feel full anyways. Drink and to sip all day long.
He said when I stop loosing the weight for 3 days straight and I either gain a pound or two and I'm hungry every hour and craving odd foods is when I need a fill. You just know And have to watch your full signals. I wish you the best of luck! I hope your band works as great as mine. I'm happy with it.

My port is sore I'm 9 days post op. Lost 32 lbs now.
My port is locally see in and my band is too. I don't have any pain when I sleep on my side but my port is 6 inches above my Bly button where they put the new ports and revisions of old ones to this new location.
Dr corvola had done my surgery June 28 th
I'm happy with my band.

No drinks for me this summer sounds great but be wise with the bubbles!! Hope you don't get the bubbles from the bartender skipping carbonation by accident into a drink and you get stuck and it hurts so bad. I had a friend this happen to.
I also have friends in the emergency room and heard about band filling problems after drinking and how dehydrated you get after drinking. Maybe one is ok but any more and I say good luck!! Wish you the best of luck.
I will pass on my drinks as I don't wanna waste my band away or erode it as it was expensive in the first place. Plus I'm in the healing process. It's been two weeks now and lost 32 lbs no fills and a regular allergen band. June 28th was my surgery and I'm following my plan to a tee. I have 115% into this mind body and soul change as it's my new life path I chose.
Second I need food and not drinks. I wanna get the weight off. No extra calories.
Drinking and carbs for diabetics is a bad idea anyways.

Yeah watch a tube video on it it was great. I love being banded.!!!

My sister has same thing an if have a low profile port and. It a side port like my sister. Mine is better then hers I think.
My scars are min and I love the post weight loss of 28 lbs in 13 days

Yeah I noticed that. All I do is watch people eat when I am on my liquid diet for another day.
Can't wait for mashed potatoes cottage cheese and some more Soup lol
Hope all is going well for eveyone

I'm finally a week out being banded. I got to steer new things and get off my Clear liquids. I fill so full and love my yogurt.
I have lost 26lb in 7 days and feeling restrictive. I hope I can chew my food just as good as I can swallow my liquid.
I am afraid of loosing the weight to fast as I haven't even had a fill. I'm only one week out. Is this normal for someone being banded?
