JAYGERL05

I have only had 3 fills and all were done under flouro, my doctor make me drink barium under xray and he can tell. After the fill they make me sit in the waiting room sipping a small cup of water and if it cant go down you come back in the room and they will take some out. I am blessed to say I have not had an unfill. Keep in mind all dr's are different.

i had surgery on a Thursday and I went back that next Friday. So I was off for 7 days. I was fine. I sit at a desk all day so I dont know what you do at work will make a difference. Another lady that works with me had the surgery with a diff doctor and she was out 14 days. I actually could have went back that Monday. I was a little soar in the morning from laying down all night or sitting down all day but I felt fine once I got up and moving.

I lost weight before my first fill, I think I originally lost 23 and then gained back a few. I had my first fill 10 weeks after surgery and I was 18 pounds lighter. I average 7-8 pounds lost per month. I eat right 95% of the time.

that means you are totally normal. I was starving to death after been banded for about 10 days. I thought i was going to die of food starvation. until you are filled appropiately you will still feel hungry.

thanks I want me some sexy 7 jeans with rhinestone and this will come in handy!!!!!!!!!!!

At age 20 and 9 months pregnant I weighed 202 pounds the day I had my daughter. Now 12 years later and not pregnant I weigh 200 pounds. In 12 years my weight steadily went up and up. I gained 42 pounds during 9 months of pregnancy after pregnancy I gained 42 more pounds in 12 years. I am sooooooooo very proud to say with the band, God and determination I have lost close to 45 pounds in 6 months.

Highest weight ever 245 Surgery date 243 Current weight 200 GOAL WEIGHT PER DOCTOR IS 165:scared: Hello!! I am 33 years old and I was banded in Frisco, Texas by Dr. Hamn on 9/8/05. I have not been obese all my life. I started gaining weight in 1994. I have 1 daughter and a significant other, both are very supportive. My man and my daughter both keep me informed on what I am and am not supposed to be eating. I love challenges and I am ready to roll!!!!!!!!! Good luck ladies and gents!!!!!!!!! Remember who is the enemy:hungry:

LOL, I was thinking the same thing. I have bought 3 boxes, I believe I will be taken all 3 to work. I love the samoas and the peanut butter and I would eat 1 or 2 everytime i saw them on the table but come Monday i will send an email for everyone in my dpt to come get cookies.

I was able to JOG a quarter of a mile. I was sooooooooo excited to jog. I have never jogged since being fat. I was so proud of myself. I end up walking a little bit over 2.5 miles. When I got home it was the best sleep I had ever had.:notagree I want to see if I can jog a quarter every other day for a month and then move to jogging 1/2 a mile.:clap2:

I will be 6 months post op on March 8th and will post my info in a couple of days, if that is ok. I am very excited about hearing the results. I hope you dont do the results yet.

HI, all. I decided to call March, March Madness. I have decided to get mad and get off my a- -. I need to walk 2 miles every other day, get my water in, my protein and my meds in everyday. I see so many other people losing weight. I realize its me and only me that can decide what goes on with my weight lost. I jogged a quarter of a mile Sunday and walked 2.5 miles. I felt great, my first time ever jogging since being obese. I walked 2.5 miles today and toted 3lb hand weights. I feel better about myself. I am 203 and cant wait till I see 199.5 or less. To all of you that have reached 50 or more since Sept I applaud you over and over again.

-10 pounds since challenge.

My dr will only let you come every 4 weeks but I could not get my first one until 10 weeks. After 3 fills I am restricted. I will not be going back for a while because I have been losing good since my 3rd fill. 2.5

2.5cc and restricted.

that is correct, if your body believe it is starving it will hold on to the food thus no weight loss. Also make sure you are getting enough water and eating the right foods.

I am in, I love a challenge.

I have a friend that goes to Dr Maese for fills and he is aggressive with his fills. I was told that if you get to many fills too quickly and are too tight that is a higher chance of slippage. (dont know if that is true or not)

Iziksmom, I used to have those same heaves. I was told that was a sign of being full. I got those heaves on my first fills. Now into my 3rd fill I burp or hiccup.

This is awesome hee, hee. I was wondering the same thing about the names. My screen name came from me acting like a lil school girl. Jay is my boyfriend and I am his girl. Its 2005. I put a twist on it and became Jaygerl05 lol goofy huh

you look HOTT!!! I can not wait until I reach 50.

I recvd my first fill of 1.5cc and had no restriction. A month later, I had another fill 2.00cc still had no restriction. I waited another month recieved 2.5cc and I was restricted at the dr office. Its been 3 weeks and It seems like 2weeks after I got my 3rd fill I tightened up some more. I am very restricted in the morning, can not eat or drink until around 11 or 11:30 and that amount is 4-6 oz. Needless to say I will not be getting another fill for a while. I have lost 7 pounds in 3 weeks. I am just waiting for the rest to come off and for Texas to warm up so I can get my excercise in, just been lifting hand weights and doing a few workouts at home but prefer walking.

I tried it but I did not like the baby food. It was actually on list of things that I could eat.

You might want to try a soy burger. I bought a box and seasoned the meat and they were good.

It sounds like to me that you want a relationship but you are afraid. You can be just as lonely in a relationship as not being in one. I have been on both sides of the fence. If you feel its time to step out then dont be afraid just do it. We were all put here to be happy. I hope the best for you.

Sounds like you are doing great with your weight lost. You might want to start excercising and lifting weights. Some of those protein shakes help with working out, turning fat to muscle. I lift 10 lbs and 3 lbs.
