First Fill Yesterday. When do I feel restriction?
kkarryall replied to Victorid76's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
A lot of people don't feel restriction with their first fill...I hope you do though! I personally didn't reach good restriction until fill # 5! -
Well I am glad that you feel better!!!

no fill for 90 days your thoughts?
kkarryall replied to ElizabethS's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I think if you can afford it--get a fill....it helps so much and usually takes a few months to get to proper restriction!! -
Just take it day by day...don't think too far ahead! You can do this :sad:

Is there anyone at restriction at 5cc or am i a freak! lol
kkarryall replied to Whillow's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Everyone is different..I was at great restriction at about 6.3. Now I am about 5.5--I have restriction, but I am not super tight...I am hoping to maintain at this restriction, maybe even be able to go a little looser than this.... -

question about calorie restrictive only methods like lap band
kkarryall replied to cduval04's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Well this calorie restriction has worked for me!! -
I weigh daily....it used to drive me crazy, and when I was heavier I had to stop with the obsession. But now that I am closer to goal, it doesn't bother me if I don't lose weight on a daily basis!!

What does your surgeon say? Please keep us updated!!
-
I would definitely call Dr....maybe you are too tight...just because liquids go down doesn't mean you aren;t too tight...keep us updated.

lying down...never had a problem.... -
is my band giving me any restriction??
kkarryall replied to Mapasanchez's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
17 lbs is great!! You probably have very little restriction as you were just banded. Everyone is a little different. Most people feel some restriction after their 3rd fill, for me--it took until my 5th fill!! Good luck...keep up the good work :w00t: -
EASY- Low Fat brownie muffins-so good!
kkarryall replied to Lisa73's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Sounds good....not sure I could tolerate them, but I will have to try!! I bet they would freeze well.... -
I think everyone reacts differently depending upon anatomy, etc. I didn't feel restriction until my 5th fill!! But everyone is different :w00t:
