Mom Of Twins

Well I got my first fill last week. It is a 9 cc band and I had 3 cc fill. I still have no restriction.... I can eat whatever I want....and however much I want...... I have lost 20 lbs from the very beginning....but nothing since then. STill losing inches...but no weight.... I need the restriction ! THat is why I got this !!!!

WOW...you sound like me....I mean ...your stats... I was 285 and now 259. I was banded on Sept. 12th. Going for my first fill on Oct. 21st I now have no restriction... I can eat anything......I am trying not too... It is hard. I cannot get below that 259 mark. My scale fluctuates.... So I am looking forward to the fill !!!!! I think you are 20 less than you were and that is fantastic....when we get depressed or out of sorts...we tend to eat bad ! Don't go there....if you have just start over tomorrow !!!! Stay strong !!!

I felt this way....but the hunger has returned !!!!! 14 days out.

When I talked to my doc about it...he said the lap band was more of a high pressure system and the realize was a low pressure system..... He had done more of the lap bands,,,because they have been around in usa longer,,,but he was very confident about the realize band and thought I would be happier with it..... He left it up to me ultimately....but together we chose the realize band..... I was just banded on Sept. 12th.

OMG !!!! I just got on here to see if anybody was "like" me......I am just totally miserable !!!! I am pretty sure it is just gas....but it hurts to sit,,,hurts to walk,,,hurts to breathe, very sharp...now my lower back is hurting as well. I am at work today which makes it very hard.... I can hardly get down my liquid. I have been working on my first 18 oz. vitamin water this morning. Still have about 1/3 of it left...and that is soooooo not like me... My shoulders, chest, neck, all that hurts.... I did try some FF pudding and some jello... Very small amounts.... I am just miserable....questioning myself now....which I know I should not do !!!! I know it will get better.....Uhgg.. Lap band on: 9/12/08

I was just banded yesterday...WOW....I am so happy. I have been trying to walk off this horrible gas pains in my neck, chest, and shoulders.... Otherwise my stomach doesn't hurt. I have had my morning coffee,,,now drinking my K 2 0....which seems to help the hungeries... Can't wait to get to a full liquid.... I had to use my stadol pain med last night to sleep...but otherwise motrin and tylenol today... HOORAY !!!!:wink_smile:

Way to go girl !!!! I am having surgery on Friday...just one day after you.... WOW....is this cool... I am so excited. I have been cooking for the husband and kids too. I have not been totally perfect.....but close to it.... I have lost 15 lbs. so far. Hope to lose another 5 lb before surgery;..... Good luck. Prayers are with you.... Think about me on your 1 post op day !!!!

I am on day 6 of my clear liquid and I have currently lost 15 lbs !!!! I am very excited !!!! Day 4-5 was horrible !!! I was horrible. I had to lock myself in the bedroom away from husband and kids..... I didn't want to put my misery on them !
