  1. thank you so much for all the encouragement! we are so lucky to have a place like this! i do have a 4 cc band. i'm scheduled to have another fill next week...so hopefully this'll be the "sweet spot" i've been dreaming of:) thanks mom, paula, and missy!!
  2. i'm already at 3.6 & still have no restriction. is something wrong??
  3. duvy...the same thing happens to me! some days i can eat a whole chicken breast & veggies and other days i can't even drink my protein shakes:( and i'm always tight in the mornings too!
  4. wenjea...i've already had 3...and i'm supposed to have one on monday. that brings up a good question, actually. this last fill has been so random for me...some days i can eat a whole chicken breast & veggies...and other days i can't even get a smoothie down. do you think i should even have another fill? (any opinions are totally welcome)
  5. hey...i just found this site & thought i'd join in:) i live in puyallup and was banded 8.1.07 with dr. srikanth at st. francis. i feel like i've had a really slow beginning (only lost ~ 25 lbs so far) and would love to hear your thoughts!
  6. wow...thank you all for your honest advice! here's the pickle (which is why i mentioned nachos & pizza) when i eat what i'm "supposed" to eat (meat, veggies) i get sick:( sorry to sound like an band idiot...i just need some guidance...
  7. i need some help/advice:( i was banded on 8.1.07. i have had 3 fills & i believe i'm at 3.2. problem: some days i can eat without ANY restriction (ie...plate full of nachos, 2-3 pieces of pizza) and other days i can't even have a bite of anything without getting sick. meh. and, to top that all off, i have only lost maybe 15-20 lbs since surgery. sooo frustrated & thought maybe you guys can help. thank you, thank you, thank you:)
  8. sooo...i'm new to this whole "lapbandtalk" thing & thought i'd introduce myself. i'm 26 & was banded on 8.1.07. i am a patient of dr. srikanth in federal way, wa...but i live in puyallup, wa. hmmm...what else...i teach part time & just got married 4.28.07 to my amazing husband! thanks for listening:)
