I have the realize band and lost 30 lbs since March which I feel sucks. I was told I have a 9cc. band. So far I have had 3 fills and now I have 5cc in my band and still can overeat. What is wrong with me. I want to feel that sweet spot and don't.

I have the realize band so far I have 5cc and still can eat alot. Has anyone else have this problem. I had to stop eating certain foods because of getting sick. But I have only lost 30 lbs since March.

Hi, Everyone Ist of all I haven't been on for a while becuse my weight loss hasn't been fast at all. My Dr. saids 6 lbs a month is very good to lose but I see other people who have had the band done and they have lost 50+ lbs. I really get discouraged but I do it to my self because I DON"T stick to eating right everyday but I have lost close to 30lbs since March 27th. Everyone of my friends say thats good but others say "how come its taking you so long to lose it". I just wish people would leave me alone and never knew I had the surgery. I can't tell you how close friends of mine have said " well you look thinner since the last time I saw you. Do I say to them " well you look fatter since the last time I seen you, no I don't even talk about WEIGHT. I know I am babeling on but I am just depressed I guess. Sorry I just needed to talk to someone I can't even talk to my husband about it because he saids stop eating so much and you'll lose the weight. See what I mean !!!!!! Haartsdream@aol.com

Is seedless watermelon bad to eat. Hartsdreaam@aol.com

:thumbdown:I went in to get my first fill since I had my surgery March 27th. Dr. Rodreiuz from Nortons Hospital said I didn't need a fill because I lost 20 lbs in 6 weeks. He said he was thrilled I lost that much, and he said to start walking to get my metabolism up. He said if you lose 6 lbs a month that is good. I told him I can eat over a cup of food but he said as long as your losing weight, don't worry about it. I was upset because I wanted a fill to lose more weight - it doesn't work that way. He said he'll see me in a month. Boy I was really disapointed. I don't think 6 lbs a month is good but he does. He said it is suppose to take you up to 3 yrs to lose your weight. There is no way I am waiting 3 yrs to lose 65 lbs. Hartsdream@aol.com

My port area hurts if a move a certain way or lift something. I realize not to left heavy things but does it hurt when the doctor puts the saline into the port if you are already sore? Hartsdream Banded March 27th, first fill due on May 12th:huh2:

I got banded on the 27th, but I am suppose to get a fill monday the 12th. But my port area is still sore if I move a certain way or stand up to quick. Are you sore at all. Just wondering if I am alone in all this. Hartsdream:rolleyes:

I was banded on the 27 of march. I only lost 20 than gain 2 lbs than loose 2lbs. I am so frusterated its not funny. I get my first fill Monday the 12 of May. I am scared because my port area is still a little sore. Is anyone else feeling sore or is it just me. Hartsdream:redface:

:redface:I have sleep apneia but I wasn't 100 lbs over my ideal weight, so I gained 30lbs. So I didn't get denied. Hartsdream

I got banded March 27 and I lost 20 than I fluxuate 2 to 3 lbs. I am suppose to get my first fill on Monday, but the port area is still sore - is oneone else feeling soreness still or is it just me. Hartsdream@aol.com:confused2:

I have medicare and Tricare For Life. Dr. Rodriguez did it at Norton Healthcare in Lousiville. Great Doctor. Recommend him to anyone out there.

HastingMelissa; Dr. Rodriguez is my Dr. also. I was banded on March 27, 08

Alex, How do you get the glitter on your space, I have tried and can't do it. Hartsdream@aol.com

I had surgery on March 27th I have lost 18 lbs but I am continuing to get a pain in my lower right side where my pelvic is. Is it a hernia or am I just sore because of surgery . Hartsdream@aol.com:crying:

Yes, When I was thin at 130 and was a size 6 - All the guys are nice women are nasty to you. Now that I went up to 206 guys say things to me like " What happen to us - way did you gain so much weight. Or I heard from on so called friend " All your weight is in your ass ". Now I don't talk to no one I have kinda exclude myself from people. I am 4 11 and being 206 is alot on me. I have lost 16lbs and losing more. Bye for now Hartsdream@aol.com

I had my surgery march 27th in Louisville Ky. I have lost 16lbs since the surgery which is good.

I got banded march 27, and now I can eat almost anything and any size portion. My question is "What am I suppose to eat and know the Dr. said soft mushy diet. But I am wondering does anyone have a meal plan for people in the 3week to 7week post surgery diet. I don't know what I should eat and portion size because I am starved. Andrea:unsure:

I had surgery on the 27th of March and I always felt full after eating very little. Now I noticed today I could eat more with out any discomfort at all - Is this normal or is something wrong. Has any of you experienced this feeling also. Hartsdream@aol.com

My question is how do I get my weight tinker on my site and how come since I had my surgery march 27th, I noticed I can eat more without burning or hurting I don't feel full like I use to. Is something wrong or what. Hartsdream@aol.com

My Dr. made me go on clear liquids for the first 2 weeks. Then the after that for a month liquid and soft food diet. Although I must admit I did have chicken noodle soup and I did eat noodles but it did hurt. So be carefull and blend - blend - blend.

I know I'm new to all of you but I wanted to say I had my surgery on the 27th of March and begged my Dr. to fill me at my second week check up. He said that my surgery has to heal 6 weeks before my first fill. I have lost 16 lbs and people say thats good. But in my mind I know what I am eating without anyone knowing. I feel like a food addict hiding what I'm eating from everyone even my husband. Its terrible. My daughter caught me eating cheese puffs today and said " What are you doing Mom" I told her I was hungry and craving cheese puffs. See what I mean no control at all. But someone today emailed me and let me know I need to be able to tell the difference between hunger and impulse eating. They were absolutly right - Thanks alot I'll try harder - I didn't go thru all this to blow this now.

April, Don't sweat it. Yes you'll be sore at first but the only site that remains sore it the port site. Just remember to move around as soon as possible. Get up and walk, walk, walk. I'll think of you tomorrow remember you have a friend praying for you.

I am not a computer pro I signed up for the weight loss ticker but it said to paste a web site to something and paste it somewhere and I have no clue what to do, I had my surgery March 27th. and I loss 16lbs so far. Please help me to figure out how to put my ticker on my threads automatically. Hartsdream@aol.com. Thank you, Andrea:blush:

I had my surgery on march 27th and I make my own protein drink. 1cup orange juice - 1/2 banana - 2 egg whites blended up. Wow what a drink.
