  1. I was like that too during my first fill but I just had my second fill and I can tell you that you will notice a big difference after that. I am up to 6 cc or 6.5 cc and I am lucky to finish a small plate of food. I am really trying to be aware of the types of food I am eating. Eating junk will get me no where so I am really working to eat more filling foods that are better for me. I am really looking at this band as a tool and I am the one that has to decide how to use it. I definitely think it will be a while before I need another fill. I hope we can all stay positive because that is the best way to succeed.


  2. I have been a little bummed lately too as I have only lost 17lbs. But I had only one fill. I just had my second fill and I am noticing a HUGE difference in my ability to eat. I think he filled me to 6cc or 6.5cc. Plus my doctor says that I am probably building muscle since I am consistently working out 3 days a week. I really want to be successful this. For awhile I was struggling with eating the right stuff too. I am getting much better with my choices so I think as that goes on I will lose more too. My husband was banded also and I get jealous because he has lost 50+ pounds already. Feel free to email me anytime also. emw4066@hotmail.com.


  3. I was banded on 03/27 and I am really struggling with the eating to live not living for eating. I am constantly fighting with my want to eat even though I know I am not hungry or I know I will feel uncomfortable. I am hoping with my first fill on 05/06 that the intensity for food will go down but I am really nervous. Plus I have only lost like 9 lbs. I was hoping for at least 15 so far. I know slow and steady wins the race but I am afraid my thoughts of food are going to overtake me. Any suggestions?
