Carol, I it's hard for me too. I'm sure you are looking for sympathy, but I am having a difficult time adjusting to this new lifestyle. I am going to reread the manual and start over everyday again if I have too....And by the way, EVERYONE DIDN'T PAY WITH INSURANCE! BESIDES, TOO BAD THEY CAN'T GET IT BACK!

Hello, I was banded on 3/12 and I have been effing up from the about day 10! I know I am going to get blasted for this but, I have been eating regular foods. I can't eat as much and have eaten too much only twice and that was as miserable feeling. I went to get my first fill on this past Wed and was told to do liquid until Friday. My Dr. said I have a new band that has a flatter port, and he was going to have fun trying to fill it! That worried me, however he assured me that he wouldn't have any problems. Well, I ate my first solid meal today and put down a whole ribeye (8oz) and some steamed cabbage with 2 thick slices of tomatoe! He said he put in 3oz of fluid but that it holds 4oz. I am going to see if he can't give me the entire four next time. Has anyone else experienced this?
