Hello..I read ur post..when is ur next office visit/adjustment? sounds like u need a fill

Hello All..I would not recommend those slim fast drinks..my surgeon told me that those slim fast drinks are loaded with sugar..try whey protein/soy protien or isolate protein shakes..i add non fat milk and ice with frozen fruit to make it bulky so i feel satisfied..

Welcome Rangergirl...Good luck in your journey..my challenge last nite was everyone in my house was eating pizza and I had fish with steamed veggies :thumbup:

Hello All..I am 16lbs lighter since 1.28.09..I have cravings for cookies..but I have to eat sugar free chocolate pudding to satisfy the sweet tooth I have..I miss eating breads..sandwiches and cereal..omg I love cinnamon toast crunch..I didnt realize how much sugar was in that cereal til now..foods are tasting different to me now.I had a fill yesterday and I felt the tightness this morning ...good luck to all on ur journey!

I usually wait 24 hours before i go back to protein shakes since I have an PPO PLAN and i have to pay $20 for the office visit and $15 coinsurance for the fill under xray..thank God my visits/fills are every 3 to 4 weeks

Keep the faith..I am down 16lbs since 1.28.09..i dont eat breads pasta cereal..i am sticking to the diet..i do honestly have to drink more fluids..its hard at times because i work in a place where going to the bathroom isnt always an option LOL

I hate those lidocaine needles right before the fill..I had a fill yesterday and OMG this morning I could feel it..I couldnt believe it...I am down 16 lbs from 1.28.2009..

your welcome!

I lost 16 lbs since my last weigh in @ the doctors office on Feb 9.2009..I am soooo happy I am seeing my weight and BMI going down..I got another .50 cc put in the band today..I am excited!! I just wanted to share with everyone..

:smile: Ive lost 16 lbs since 2.9.2009..omg i am sooooo happy!

Welcome ! Good luck!

Good luck sweetie in your journey..Let me know if have questions..I am here to help :w00t:

I personally wouldnt want a unfill because chances are it will mess up the weight loss..if u losing weight then try eating slower and chew ur food well..little portions and dont drink and eat.not a good combo!

Hello....Sounds like you need a little taken out because you are supposed to not have slime and feel like u cant drink..your gonna have problems if u dont get that fixed..

I have 6.5 cc in my band..i am getting another adjustment tommorow!
