I am not understanding what is going on, I have had 3 fills since surgery and this last one is the only on that gave me minor restriction like i had something in me, but it still is not enough. I startedt off at 286 now i am 272. people told me it would be easier to lose weight since i am only 21 but I feel like I am letting my parents down (who paid cash), people who are supporting me down and it is getting horrible. I don't eat bad foods, I took the doctor advise and have limited my self to tuna and wheat thin and I still can't lose....I need help fast i plan on getting my 4th fill next thursday hopefully it wi make a difference......but if anyone has some advice please let me know

I have not been on here in a while and i just wanted to say congrats to everyone.....today makes one month for me....i got my fill on the 11th and i am surprised i don't feel any different than before the surgery....i notice a little restriction but so far all foods are going down perfectly fine......but i am working out 3 days a week and trying to move it up to 4x a week....i have 2.6cc in a 10cc band and i will defiantly be going back in two weeks for a second fill...so congrats all

I am so glad you posted this, because i have been wondering how the fill will make you feel....i am only on my 2nd week post op and i don't even feel like i have a band on, and i don't want to know but i want to feel full, cause right now i don't feel full. I hope the pain is just for a couple of days and not for a long period because i am not to good with pain

I Want To Wish Everyone A Good Week This Week Who Is Going Into Surgery I Was Banded On Friday The 13th And The First Day I Was sleep Alot But Not To Much Pain. Saturday Afternoon I Got Up And Was At The Horse Races All Day...my Mom Was Mad That I Was Up And Moving So Fast But I Just Had Minor Pain. I Have Lost 18lbs Since The 10th So That Has Suprised Me, Protein shakes Are Still A Little Hard To Get In But I Have Been Drinking 1 Slim Fast Low Carb shake, 1 sugar free Popsicle, And I May Eat A Sugar Free Jello Which Goes Down Fine And 100% Apple juice. Yesterday I Ate Egg Drop Soup And I Think It Really Helped Cause It Let Me Get Some Of The Gas Pain Out And Gave Me My Second Bowel Movement.... I Was Going To Give A One Week Update But Since I Am At Work Not Doing To Much I Thought I Would Share My Experience..... I Would Really Like To Know What Others Are Eating wooo Hoooo June 10-284, June 13- 277, June 16- 266.5= 17.5 Lbs Down

I do remember seeing you wend....that is so cool.....when is your surgery date? I GOT IT DONE!!!!! THEY CALLED ME IN EARLY I WAS SUPPOSE TO BE THERE AT 10:30 BUT I MADE IT IN AT 9:30 GOT IN THE SURGERY ROOM AROUND 11.....LEFT THE HOSPITAL AROUND 3... I DECIDED TO STAY IN HOUSTON TILL THE MORNING. EVERYTHING WENT WELL, AND FOR EVERYONE WHO HELPED ME OUT WHEN I CHEATED ON THE PRE OP THANKS....I WAS DOWN 8 LBS BUT HE SAID MY LIVER WAS PERFECT. I HAVE PAIN IN MY CHEST AREA AND UPPER BACK....I HAVE BEEN WALKING AND BURPING FOR THE LAST HOUR.... I AM WONDERING IF I SHOULD DRINK SOME broth OR NOT, I AM REALLY NOT IN THE MOOD TO DRINK ANYTHING I AM IN PAIN, BUT I FEEL LIKE I WILL BE OK IN A COUPLE OF DAYS. THIS MAY SOUND STUPID BUT I DO NOT KNOW WHERE MY PORT IS?????? I HAVE ONE REAL SMALL SCAR ON MY LEFT SIDE AND TWO BIG ONES ON THE FRONT I THINK IT HAS TO BE THERE SOMEWHER, BUT I USUALLY THOUGHT THEY WERE ON THE SIDE

I am on Day 3 of pre op and it is getting pretty hard....I am allowed to drink protein shake and water throughout the day (no soup jello, or broth or any other liquids)...but i am allowed one 4oz chicken, fish, or turkey which is a plus....and it says all the green vegies i want....so i have been only eating 4oz chicken and okra...and i have the taste for a salad....if i use light salad dressing will that be ok or should i stick to okra, green beans, and greens?

I am 21 from dallas texas, I am getting banded on June 13th in Houston Texas because I currently reside in Houston in Nursing School

I Just Wanted To Wish Everyone Good Luck....and I Am So Glad Greatly Blessed Introduced Me To The June Bandsters Support Group..... My Name Is Already On The List For June 13th
