well i had my 2nd fill on 9/1 up to 5.4 cc, i was actually hoping for more but thats just me. anyway i get really nauseous after fills but it goes away after 24 hours. i hope i have more restriction now, i didnt have any before.

i take vitacraves-gummie for adults once a day calcium-viactiv caramel 3x a day im not a pill person anymore

i never new a scale to do that...i need to ask my dr if his does i guess this falls into a nsv soooo....im getting the best sleep ever. i have sleep apnea and i never used the machine or anything. well i have NOT woke up with a headache since i had the surgery. i use to get them every morning and i knew it was because i wasn't getting any rest at night. now im getting rest and feeling better.

i work out almost daily, i hate it but i want the weight gone. i have not started weight lifting yet but after my second dr visit i plan to.

i have an iud too, but i have never heard that it will slow your weight loss. i need to look into that.

hi all i gained 5 pounds when the swelling went down and my appetite came back hard. i have 4cc in a 14 cc band and im still not at a good restriction. i can eat smaller portions just not as small as i'd like them to be. im at 2 cups of food and i know i should be at 1 c. after reading these boards i know its normal so im trying to not let it get me down. hang in there and once the fills start the weight will start to come off. it took me two weeks after my first fill to lose some weight. hang in there

i've added my info as well. im looking forward to getting to know everyone and reaching goal.

i want to join too...i have been waiting for a new challenge to start. please post the details and where the thread will be located.

prev weight 315.8 current weight 313.8 im glad for this b/c i had gained 4lbs then got a fill. now im back on the losing side.

im not shocked at all. i had my first fill last week and it took me a few days before i felt a little restriction. i go back in two weeks and i hope to get another fill.

hey i was just sitting here wondering what we could do to have more fun as july banders. i thought we could do a challenge. it should not be a report pounds lost challenge though. i thought we could do it for a month and switch up the challenge monthly. would anyone like to do it? if so share your challenge ideas so we can start asap. or maybe we could do a mini-challenge for august then start another on sept. 1st. keep in mind these challenge can be any and everything.

how much daily protein should we be getting in?

after my fill i did liquids for 24 hours then mushies for 24 hours. i don't think i will do that next fill. i'll do mushies for 48 hours. i felt dizzy on the day i did liquids.

i didn't get a shot or spray but it still was not painful. i am going to ask for the barium swallow next time though. the first two days i felt no restriction but i am now. i tried eating a chili dog (no bun) and didn't eat the whole weenie. im glad i could not finish it.

great post and just what i needed. i have gained 4lbs and i was starting to regret doing this. but i am newly banded and i know i have to be patient. when you want this weight to go away and you are doing the right things its just hard to not see the scale moe. thanks again

i had my first fill on wed. 4.4cc now in band. i stay full for abt 3 hours so i know i will need more but i was hoping that amount would be enough. very little pain but i was dizzy on the first day. im guessing i didnt get enough food since i was on liquids the first 24 hours.

hi all i go in on the 12th to see the dr. im not even sure if i have liquid in my band but i have decent restriction. i can go about 6 hours before getting hungry. now the head hunger is something i have to get control of. one of my incisions leaks so they will look at that too. im still having that sensation like something is in my throat so i hope once they check that im ok. other than that i renewed my gym membership and im looking forward to getting healthier.

this is just a reminder post b/c i was not taking my Calcium pills. i thought i was doing everything. anyway just in case you forgot get in your Vitamins.

you tell who you want. i personally dont have time for all the negative BS that other people want to share. sometimes its jealousy sometimes its lack of knowledge, either way i dont want to hear it. im grown and the only input i desire is my care team. im focusing on me now. will i share it, yes i will, but only with certain ppl. you know who your nosey co-workers are as well as those that dont really care for you. let those ppl wonder, lol.

are you guys allowed fish fillet, on my list i can have it but it says poached. i wonder if just baking is ok.

so true i ate this last nite, it really is tasty

lw-326 cw-315.8 % loss total 8.6- i hope i did that right
