my friends bmi was high they just put her on diet said she had to lose x amount of weight before surgery

well i was banded june 30th had one fill 2.5 cc didnt realize i was already feeling restriction lost 10 pounds in between fills so dr wouldnt give me a fill he said i was doing great i went down four sizes i was feeling bloated he said thats part of restriction

i went for my second fill but dr told me i have good restriction with 2.5cc hes said feeling bloated and burping is part of restriction so i have to wait till dec23rd hopefully ill get one then i lost 10 pds in between my first fill and my next appt also woke up and lost 2 pds

well went for my second fill which he wouldnt give me said i had some restriction and that i was doing great lost 10 pounds in between appointments and went down four sizes also have been getting stuck pb once was disappointed but have another appt dec23rd so hopefully i will get one then my friend lost 7 pounds he gave her a fill but she hasnt been getting full and is always hungry i on the other hand can go 4 or 5 hours inbetween meals i feel bloated especially after i eat he said thats part of restriction

ITS JUST DRIVING ME CRAZY SO I WENT ON SLIMFAST FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS HOPEFULLY IT WILL CHANGE :smile2:

i went to my pcp and she told me i need more water because of the salt intake otherwise i drink 64oz when i can but what i dont understand is why i stay on the same weight so long i mean ive lost like 40 pounds total 20 pounds was before the band and i keep bloating up i dont know what to do im going crazy i went down four sizes im now in a size 18 pants im just not seeing it on the scale my bra size even went down a size

do you think its just that i need another fill ive only had one 2.5cc

for some reason im bloating up and retaining water when i lose ill lose 2 pounds and then wont lose for another 3 or 4 weeks

my dr told me i need to drink 96ozs of water yesterday i drank 80ozs and i gained a lb does it take time for the water to leave your body she said i would lose better if i drink that much anybody help im so bloated i had a fill aug 19th ive only lost 6lbs since then:cursing:
