  1. My 14cc lap band has been filled to capacity. I still have no restriction, and can eat whatever I want. Everything has been checked, and looks normal. Anyone else having this experience?

      Do you mean portion-wise? Try not to think of it as needing to 'feel full' you need to feel satisfied. If you always eat until you are stuffed to capacity then something is wrong. That will HURT and nothing good can come of it. Try to eat the recommended portions and see how long that keeps you from feeling hungry again. If your hunger stays away for 3-5 hrs then technically, its working!

  2. Frustrated, defeated, tired of trying! Not a good place :(

      That's a good way to look at it tmf. I suppose I feel like I should be making as much progress as I was before but I was trying a lot harder before and following the band rules much more strictly! I can't seem to care enough to try that hard again right now.

  3. I got a job at Ball State University yesterday! This is a true blessing and a huge step in the right direction for me and my family! So thankful! (And a free gym membership!)

  4. One more Appointment left!...Hope this is it and after that I get Approval!

  5. Stressed but trying to stay positive! Getting a fill on 4/1, closing on a house on 4/4 and moving on 4/5. Busy week for me!

      Thank you!!! I'm going to need it! Trying to get back on the bandwagon after having a partial unfil for almost a year due to pregnancy

  6. How was your fill last week? I got 2 cc put in mine so I'm up to 6 cc total right now! I definiately feel a big difference from the 4 cc I had before but I'm not in the green just yet.

      When I was at my sweet spot before my pregnancy I was at 8 cc. I had 4 taken out due to swelling and I just had 2 put back in, so I'm up to 6 cc now. I am hungry on 1 cup portions about every 2 hrs right now (which I expected). I really can't remember how far I went without eating when I was in the green zone, but I know it was pretty normal (3 meals a day, maybe one snack). I expect I will need that other 2 cc to get back into the green. I feel restriction, but I can tell it's no...
