This is my first time on this site. I was banded on May 2009. My starting weight was 289. I've see a nutritionists every month to help me with my choice of foods. After the first 6 month, I always seemed to be hungry all the time. The nutrititionist told me to see the surgeon and ask for an adjustment. The surgeon refused to give it to me. He said that I'm losing without an adjustment. At that time, I was about 250. I'm currently down to 208. I pleaded with the doctor to give me an adjustment because i feel like the only reason i was losing weight was because i lived in the gym. EVERYDAY. He finally gave it to me on Thursday, 3/4/2010. It is KILLING me. I cannot eat anything. He gave me 4ccs. Maybe it was too much, I don't know. In the morning, i usually eat egg whites and spinach with swiss on a wrap with pink grapefruit. The wrap bread and the cheese kills me so i cannot eat it anymore. Just the eggwhites and spinach. That will hold me for 2 hours then I'm hungry again. For lunch i had broccoli and grilled salmon. The salmon killed me so i stopped eating it. Any suggestions because right now, i'm starving. I just had a Fiber one bar but that will not hold me for long. I need help. Will i get used to it? Right now, I'm too scared to eat anything. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. :tt2::sad::tt1:

I try to drink alot of water because i absolutely LOVE water but I've noticed that when i drink water or any juice cold, i get terrible shoulder pain. Why????

I definitely need some support. I've been banded on May13th. So far I've lost 13 pounds in 7 days. Starting tommorrow, i can eat mushy foods. I still have those "big girl cravings". I suck on puffed cheese doodles and it goes down with no problem. I eat italian ices. I love it. I haven't thrown up yet. I've been eating the italian ice and cheese doodles for Breakfast while i was on leave from work. I also drink muscle milk and

I feel for you. I had my surgery on May 13th. The doctor had me on a 2 week liquid diet . I never did it. On May 12th, I went to Burger King at lunchtime and had me a whopper meal and i enjoyed it. I went to the gym afterwards and worked out hard for a hour and a half. I had no complications with my surgery. Mary, I'm not a shake person so my nutritionists requests muscle milk and i hate it. I drink it anyway but i hate it.

I didnt know anything about these fills that everybody's talking about. I'm scheduled for surgery in february. I thought that once they put the band in, they fill it at the same time. So, they put the band in first, (empty) then you have to come back so they can fill it? That sounds painful.
