Tyme 2 shine

Good luck ladies it will happen!!!

Its very hard but if you exercise you will see results much sooner. Keep trying don't give up. I just received my first fill and i have NO restriction whatsoever, oh well its up to me to make this happen!! We have the tool the rest is up to us

Believe me I understand!!!I was banded 1/30/08 and it is hard. I tried many things but what WORKS is exercising with the diet. I know its hard but i have been doing pretty good

I recently got my fill 3/11- i was so excited and it did nothing. I can still eat whatever no restriction whatsoever. I am very discouraged!! Although I am trying hard to still loose weight because I am determined to lose weight regardless. I need encouragent!!! I a getting another fill on 4/15 hopefully this one will help!!!

Do u exercise a lot?

Did you exercise a lot? portion control? How many fills have you had?

i am due for my first fill on march 11 also are you scared?

Thanks for responding!!! I am so excited about the journey with the band. I am not fiilled right now and I am able to eat whatever I want. This makes it hard. I actually went back on a liquid diet to keep me on the right track, is that ok??? I really am not sure but I need to be filled immediately. I get filled on the 11th of March. I would like to loose more weight that 1 to 2 pds a week but I'll take it. I have a thyroid condition already and I am wondering if because of my metabolism is it ok to do liquids. Any advice will help!!! Thanks

I learned from others on the forum that you will know when your filled correctly because you will only be able to eat at least 1 cup of food. They explained how hard that was for them to get used to but it completely was a benefit because they lost a lot of weight. I understand you believe me. We need to get to a point where food just isn't as important to us. We have gotten so use to tasting different foods and I tell myself daily I need to get back focused on my goal!! Getting healthy and doing what I need to do to get to my goal weight. Good luck to you!!!!!!!!!

I was the same way, I was banded in Jan 08. I can't wait til my restriction starts. I feel like normal nothing is in place to help me manage eating

Good luck to you!! I was just banded on 1/30 I'm excited myself!!

Does erosion happen often? Do they replace it?

I recently had my surgery and mine is DIRECTLY underneath my incision. It's kinda scary!!!
