  1. 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

    Not Losing. . . except my mind.

    Just wondering how everyong that was not losing is doing. I just had my 4th fill today which puts me at 7.2cc. Does not feel any different. I have not eaten yet so we'll see. Anybody losing weight? I still am up then down. This sucks.
  3. 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?

  4. I hear ya. How many cc's do you have? I have 6.2cc in a 10cc band. I am always hungry and can eat way too much. I am hoping mondays fill will do the trick. How many fills have you had?
  5. 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.

  6. JMEGIRL lets just agree to disagree and leave it at that. You don't get it and just want to argue about it. So nevermind.
  7. Like you stated it is your opinion. You seem to have strong opinions on this site which are not always correct. I was only saying why freak someone out when you are very new to having the band, regardless how much you read. It is a learning process for everyone and to freak someone out for no reason is not cool. I know I would not want the added stress especially from someone who is not in the medical field to give. I am sure if she was really concerned about it she will call her doctor. But to give a diagnoses on something you yourself is learning about is a bit much. Sometimes it is better just to not say anything.
  8. Why would you tell her that to freak her out when you don't know that. Remember you to are very new to banding.
  9. 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.

  10. 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?

  11. 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?

    I was at 202 also this morning. We are so close.
  13. 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. :)

    Tastes different?

    :thumbup: Just wondering .......when I was reading some of these posts. Does anyone think things they use to love to eat taste different now after banding? And you don't want them like you use to?
  15. I need to. As you can see I am not losing compared to everyone else. I just started to this week with the last fill. But I am really struggling this week with being hungry and not over eating. So I am hoping on monday when I get that 4th fill I should be there.
  16. 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.

    Am I now too tight!!?

    So then after every fill it eventually gets loose? So should you be tight at a fill?
  18. WannaBSkinnyB

    Am I now too tight!!?

    With your first fill did you wait it out or go in to get unfilled?
  19. WannaBSkinnyB

    How often do you get filled?

    I was banded on 11/19/08 and had my 3rd fill last monday. I am going in this monday for another which will be my 4th. I am currently at 6.7cc in a 10cc band. I am still waiting to find the sweet spot so I can start losing.
  20. OMG! I totally know what your going thru. Been there. I was so excited to get the surgery then it hit me. I freaked out and almost cancelled. I even wanted to cancel when I was there once the IV was in. I thought what am I doing. But it is normal. You will be fine. Just think of how great you will feel once you start losing the weight. That is how I got thru it. I am tired of being the fat girl.

    For those wondering about flying...

    So you were able to eat on the plane? What did you have? I am flying in 3 weeks and you all have me worried. Although my doctor seems to think there will be no problem. The nurses there that have the band say they have never had a problem also.

    For those wondering about flying...

    Could you drink anything on the plane? I am flying in about 3 weeks. I never have heard of having any problems. I even asked the doctor and they said everything should be fine. Now I am getting worried. Thank god it is only a 5 1/2 hour flight.
  23. 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.

    Hi I was wondering if you use the Wii Fit before? We just got one for Christmas. Have not used it yet but was wondering if you had and if you had seen any results because of it.
