hi auggie,laurel,rose,matty how is everyone doing im doing ok and feeling alot better these days. im eating alot less that is for sure. yesterday i eat 1036 calories. so far im happy with the fill. sorry to hear matty that you didn't get to get the fill but, safty is more important. maybe you could see if the nurses can fit you in if they get a cancellation. i was only filled with 1.5cc's. im glad to hear that everyone is doing good with the fills. i think i asked this once so im asking again, did any of you notice a change in your monthly visiter. i noticed that im in more pain and i feel much tighter when it comes. is anyone else experiencing this.

not really sure how i feel after getting the fill but, i did notice that i had 2 protein shakes and a sm beef jerky and that is all for today. so i guess its doing something.

hi all, im feeling much better today. im not sure what and how i feel after getting a fill. i had 2 orange protein shakes and a sm beef jerky today and thats all. so i guess its doing what its suppose to. sorry that you had that happen to you laurel. tell me what have any of you noticed since getting a fill.

hi all, just thought i would give everyone an update on me well i called my dr and let them know that i'm eating more and i think i need a fill so they told me to come in tuesday. so im so happy about that as i was to come in next month before. i went and got and the scale again at my dr's office and it said i gained again. and i was just on it on tuesday. so im just gonna use the weightloss clinic's scale as there's is the only one that counts. so i will only be getting weighted monthly now. but, the funny thing is im not mad or any thing as i now relize i was weighing myself way to much. and it was only stressing me out. so he-- with that. well everyone wish me luck.:w00t:

wow and i was just getting into the egg salad. i hope im still able to eat that and the chicken salad. i eat tuna one in a while but, not often. guess we will play the what works game again. i hope its not much that i cant eat as i cant eat alot of foods now. due to food allergys. i know after surgery i dont eat pudding much or squash for some reason. how that everyone has been banded does food taste different to you. i noticed things i use to eat dont taste good any more.

im trying ladies i really am. i know what you mean about the alternative. i love peanut butter cookies so i some times eat those 100 calories peanut butter cookies by nabisco. and they really help me out and fill me up. i have noticed that i do eat alot less then what i use to eat. i enjoy the band its cool. i have been reading this book called lapband surgery every thing you need to know before and after surgery. and im learning some things. i was thinking about going to a food theropist. does anyone else do this.

hi all, yesterday was my i walked on the treamill for 45mins at 2.4 . i burned 382calories. then i did 5sets of 15 on the outter thigh machine and 10sets of 15 on the inner. it was a good workout.

hang in there doxie things will get better. maybe you have to up your calories some so you wont get hungry as much. i ended up calling my dr to see if i could come in early as im able to eat more alot more. so they have me coming in on tuesday. i fell ok with that as i wasn't to come in for another month. maybe try freezing your yogurt i saw that on here before. if things dont get better soon maybe you should call your dr back and let them know that you might need another fill. great job pete
