Hi, Just wanted to see how things went after I left. Did the meeting help? I hope so? What was Jessi saying? You need to have the band adjusted? I had to leave I volunteer on Thursdays at my sons school.

Hi Taffiegirl, you still going to the meeting on Thursday?

Hi, I am doing ok, I have been on vacation for 2 weeks in Hawaii, did not lose anything or gain. Going in today for a fill.

I hope it helps. Sorry to hear your not losing.

Glad to hear you at least had a loss. That is good. Let me know how this fill works for you. I am dying to get to the "sweet spot"

How's it going? Are you losing? I am still not losing. Need a fill but won't be able to get one til I get back from vacation.

Hi Taffiegirl, How's it going? Have not heard from you thought I would drop a line. I am still at a no loss.

Everything I have eaten since this afternoon all feels stuck. I just had some peanut mm's and they felt all stuck. I know I am not suppose to be eating candy. I am not a candy eater but for some reason today I am craving sugar. Maybe TOM is around the corner.

OMG I went to eat dinner before the meeting and was waiting for my fish to cook so I thought I would eat my canned green beans first while I waited. They got stuck and I could only eat like 3 bites of fish. So I guess I have restriction, finally. So it will be interesting to see how this week goes. I can have another next monday then that is it until I get back from Hawaii. So I hope this one is it. I think we can only get .5 from now on. So are you going to this thursday meeting? I was looking for you tonight.

Yum your making me hungry. I would have eaten it all to. Don't beat yourself up too much. That is why we have the band. And as soon as we get some good restriction it will stop us from doing that. I ate a whole box of mac-n-cheese this weekend. Well I did have some fish with it. LOL. So I was kinda being good. But I know how you feel. It tastes good so we eat all we can. Hopefully once we get some good restriction it will keep us from doing that. Hang in there. Tomorrow is a new day. We are human after all.

Had the fill and feel no difference. This sucks. She put in .5cc and so now I have 7.2. Sheesh how much do I need to feel some kind of restriction? I came home and was hungry. Had 3 laughing cow cheese, 3 crackers, turkey lunch meat and some cold chicken. So much for restriction. No gurgling. But I guess I had lost 4 pounds in the last week. Which I don't think is right. At least not by my scale. That is good you feel full. I will see how dinner goes tonight. Are you going to make it to the meeting tonight? It is on goal setting. HA! I can set them I just can't stick to them. LOL

Just leaving now for my fill. My appt is at 11. I will let you know. I am up 5 pounds. Great. I hope this fill does the trick. How are you doing? Feel full sooner?

I will try just .5 on monday. I just got thru with dinner and almost ate the whole box of mac N cheese with my fish. HA! I

need a fill. I will be at monday nights meeting so try to come. It would be nice ti finally meet in person. It's nice to know someone who goes up and down like me. Although you have lost which I have hardly lost anything.

I am sorta going on vacation. I am going to see my mom, I go and visit about twice a year. I am bringing my oldest son with me. She lives in Hawaii. She got us plane tickets for xmas. So I don't want to be too tight while I am there.

Just checking in to see how you are doing. How's it going? I was doing good but got on the scale this morning and gained 3 pounds. UGH! Going in for a fill on monday, hopefully this will help.

Try to stear clear of Vicki if you can. I will have to tell you why at a meeting and not here on the posts. Trust me on this one.

I am glad your doing better. I ate steak last night too fast cause I was starving by the time I ate. And man was that painful. It hurt so bad I thought I was gonna pass out. Finally came back up. Didn't stop me though, went back chewed better and finished my steak. Go figure. So I have gained 3 pounds back. I really don't know what to do about my fill on Moday. It is with Deanna so I guess I will talk to her and see what she thnks.

Are you going to the support group meeting?

Oh no, you vomitted? That is not good. Was it a PB? I got on the scale this morning and I am at 200.9. I am so close to getting under 200. I am debatting on whether or not to have that fill on monday. I am still hungry at night when I eat but I don't want to be so tight that I can't eat anything. I have a trip coming up and would like to be able to eat without worrying. Are you still making noises when you drink?

Gee that is good that you are not hungry. Maybe the noise will go away. I would take the noise vs not losing. I have been reading on here that they say after a fill a take a few days for it to losen up. I would wait and see. Like I said I wish I would had not had that .5 taken out. It seems like your tighter the first few days then it goes away. Enjoy the no hunger while you can maybe you can drop a few pounds.

How many cc's are you at now with your fill today? When I went in on monday she gave me 1cc which when I drank it made the gurgle sounds and went down slowly. So we took .5 out. So I only got .5 this last time. I have another appt on monday so I want them to put in more. I have some restriction but last night I was really hungry and could have had seconds. I am trying to not eat that much this week but it is hard. I am hungry so I really probably should have taken the full 1cc. I am wishing now I did. I need to get this where it needs to be. I am flying on 2/2 and will be gone for 2 weeks. So I wanna make sure I am at a place I can not worry about being too tight but losing. I hope that is not true about when we eat we will make noise. Geez that would be embarassing. I have never heard that one before. Let me know if you feel a difference tonight when you eat dinner. Let me know how many cc's you have now. I am at 6.7cc.

Nothing with the 2nd fill. But this last fill (3rd) that I had on monday seems to be helping. I lost 4 pounds so far. So we will see. I am not sure if I should go on monday for another. I guess I will wait till the weekend and see. I stil think it could be tighter. I eat what I am suppose to but am hungry 3 hours later. Your suppose to stay full for 5 hours.

Wow that is great you have lost. I am still waiting. Clothes are just as tight as ever. I saw that you were banded the same day I was so I sent the friend request. I like to see how others are doing. It gives me hope that this will eventaually work. Let me know how that 5-day pouch test goes. Since I had my 3rd fill yesterday I seem to not be as hungry and I am eating less. So that is good. I have another appt on monday for another fill just in case. I totally understand about the rollercoaster feelings. I have been getting so depressed on here reading how great everyone is doing and losing. Wondering if I made a huge mistake by having this surgery. Keep in touch.

When was your last fill? Call and see if you can get in earlier. I did. I called yesterday and got in an hour later. I know I am getting fills pretty fast but I just want this to start working. I don't know how these people wait 6 weeks between fills. I would go nuts.

Restriction is when you can eat a small amount and feel full. I think this 3rd fill which puts me at 6.7cc may do the trick. I hope. I noticed last night I ate a small plate of food and was full. Although I was hungry again about 3 hours later. They say it should keep you full for 5 hours. So I may need to get another fill next week. I am going to wait and see how this week goes. I can actually feel it working for once. Meaning I am not hungry as much and little amounts of food get me full. Still not at that point where some can eat only 5 bites and are full. But I am working on it. I just want to see some loss. I think that will help modivate me. I think you will know when you hit that sweet spot. You won't be hungry and get full on a little amount of food. I know we will get there soon.

Hi, how are you doing? Went in for my 3rd fill today. I had her put in another 1cc. Took a sip of water and it hurt a little trying to get it down. So she took out .5 and I seem to be ok now. I really am hoping this does the trick. Do you have any restriction on your last fill? Now that Christmas is over I can really concentrate on this more.

Right now I am at 6.2cc. I go in this tuesday for another fill. I am hoping this will work. I still am not losing a thing.

No, I have no success so far. Just had my 2nd fill 12/30 which puts me at 6.2 cc's. I have another appt for my 3rd fill on 1/6, next tuesday. I am hoping that gives me some restriction. I have not lost anything but I am gaining. LOL

I feel some restriction after the 2nd fill. Things get stuck going down sometimes if I am not chewing a lot. I just have a sip of drink and it helps. I know were not suppose to. She also told me that may not work when I am tighter. So I am not as hungry and it seems to be working a little. I have another appt on tuesday for another fill. Hopefully that should do it. I can tell if I was a little more tighter I would be good. Deaana said that the average range for the sweet spot was anywhere from 6-8cc. So we will be there soon. When is your next fill?
