Hey Cindy, congrats! how did you find this thread? its almost a year old. i had my band for almost a year now and dropped about 50 lbs which is 1/2 the weight i wanted to lose. 50 more and i am at 170 which is my goal. good luck!!!

last night i overate and today i can not get food down and barely liquids. i am not sure if it is swelling or slippage but if anyone has had this happen please let me know

daily intake since last fill wake up at 11am 11am - coffee and Water till 12 12pm - Protein shake with extra Calcium 1-4pm - water 4pm - one or two bites of a fruit, veggie, or meat. 5-7pm - still feel full but able to drink some water 7pm - dinner - a few tiny bites of chicken or maybe 2-3 bites of salad or a bite of each which is what i have been doing. 8-11pm water 11pm - 2 bites of something that looks good(sometime fro-yo which i can still only have 2 bites of even though its ice cream) but mostly healthy stuff. rest of night i drink water. i prob total 50oz of water daily it has been a week since my fill. i am going to give it a few more days and hopefully i open up a tiny bit. i also forgot to mention i take a mens oneaday. i am not fatigued. i have energy to do my exercises everyday. i am tired when i am done but i think i should be. any thoughts or ideas on any part of my day i would really love to hear. thanks everyone Jeff

i wish i was in your position. i am ok in the morning but by dinner i am hungry. consider yourself lucky. good luck with your band and diet

awesome! i called the doc and i am set for the 31st

when i got my fill the doc said normal is 2 months but i didn't know at the time what the restriction would be like. i guess i should just call. thanks for the speedy replies

how long after the first fill can i get my second fill? the first fill did absolutely nothing for me and would love to have some restriction. my first fill was 3cc

wow are you not kidding...its hitting me hard right now

its edy's choc fudge. its so good there has to be something wrong with it. thats why i am here asking about it

fat free no sugar added ice cream?

thanks jack i am worried 6oz is too much. one reason i drank that much was because i have not been getting enough Protein in. this morning was the first time i felt ok drinking it so i finished it. i am full still though. a question about pbing. does it just happen or do you make it happen?

i am not even one week out and just had my protein drink for breakfast. i was able to drink 6oz over about 20 minutes. is this a big problem?

thanks so much for responding. this is great. i don't even care if it tastes bad, 3 oz is cake. i ordered 2 different products freshstartprotein.com and "ids liquid protein". the freshstart ones have 42 grams of protein and i think i got the ids ones with 48 grams. i got the ids ones from amazon.
