  1. Glad you got relief! I had a fill on a Friday afternoon, which is always my easiest time (morning= no food) if I have any restriction. By Sunday I was where you were and it was awful. I was unfilled to a level lower than the start of that previous fill, so now I am nervous about that. Anyone with an idea about when I can ask to get a smaller fill again? I am not irritated and am pretty hungry always..
  2. I have had a fill 2 weeks ago and suddenly the last two days I am starving every two hours. I have been writing down what this is. I also can now again eat a cup of oatmel which is not good. I actually gained a couple of pounds whilke I am eating about 1,ooo calories and workout daily to between 400 and 500 calories....why no weight loss? do I need another fill already? I have lost about 30 lbs since Feb 11 surgery
  3. Hi! I had surgery Feb 11 and am making steady and slow progress. I am down 27 pounds. I notice that the most was before I could eat for real again. I am scheduled to see doc on 3-26. I am feeling like I am on a baby feeding schedule. I notice I am really hungry every two hours. Am eating about 800-1000 calories and somewhere over 70 grams of Protein daily. I feel great and am loving the exercise. I played golf yesterday with no pain at all....well my body felt none, but a month off hurt the game for sure... So hang in there all. I look forward to this journey and all that it brings!
  4. I did not know banana and pnut butter were liquids but if blended in the drink ok?
  5. Hey all: I am having surgery 2/12 in beautiful Palm Springs. Luckily I live here in the area (Indio) with my wonderfully supportive partner of almost 15 years. I was excited to see this group posting and will absolutely check back often. We have struggled to establish a feeling of community here in our first few years. I am looking forward to surgery and would listen to any and all helpful hints. I loved the list and travel about 80% for my job which also includes the foodservice inductry and way too many lunches and dinners out...I am absolutely committed to the Band as a boost to my life quality! Looking forward to further connections.
  6. Hi: I am new to site. I live in Indio, CA and awaiting insurance approval. I have found the site to be really informational as well as inspirational!
