Hello just read your post where you talk about having done a colonic. I have never had one but Im thinking about having it done soon. Did you have it done after the lapband do you know if it can have a bad affect on the band? Did you find weightloss after the colonic and how many have you had after being banded?

Yeahhhh Welcome back haven't seen you on in awhile but I guess it's because of your new screen name hope you are doing well was praying for you

Hi Laydee how are you? I'm here struggling lol so far -35lbs I'm like will I ever get to -40lbs its been over 5months now. How's your weight loss going? Any new pictures they are so inspiring so keep them coming . Thanks for checking in with me .

Wow so you would wake up and have pain? I've never experienced that but I don't know or think I've been waiting 4hrs to go to bed after my last meal. But I will do it now. Thanks, I hope all goes well with you keep me updated, praying for you .

So I get my fill today so depressing to learn I gained 2lbs and according to Dr. Office scale only lost 9lbs. So far I have a total of 4.5 cc's in my band. He wants me to wait 3months for fill #3 no way I said so he said two months. I said ok schedule it but Im sure Ill be back in 1month. My Dr. is cool but way to conservative. My sister was banded in Texas and 5cc was put in her band at the time of banding.

Im going in tomorrw afternoon for fill #2. Im in desparate need of it. I am eating way to much and get hungry @every 3hrs. My Dr. is on the conservative side. I had to beg to come in early. He wants me to wait every two months for a fill Im like that's not going to work right now lol. I was banded on 1/12/10 only down 15lbs slooowwwww progress. That's another reason why I called in for a early fill. I know I have to get more committed with the exercise. Im going to the gym tomorrow after my fill since I will be on liquids that should at least shed 2 more pounds.

Wow that's great. keep up the good work Im still trying to get my exercise routine together. It's hard but Im trying. When were you banded?

Wow that's great. I think I will pull out my ab rocket and get started. The break down 60+60 seems like it should make it easier. Thanks for sharing. Take Care.

Ok I go in on Wednesday I had one already but Im still eating too much I was able to eat 4 slices of pizza..I know I know bad choice.

Im headed for a fill Next wednesday b/c I know Im eating way too much, so they moved my date up earlier I think I only have 4 1/2 cc in my band. I say go for it because it sounds like you are doing everything and I must say I haven't been dedicated with the gym or my eating habits so I know I need to get better. Hope to keep in touch and keep inspiring each other. Take Care let me know what you are going to do.

Wow you look great!!! I just saw your most recent pic and was like ok a new friend I can add then I went to your page didn't even recognize you as the same person from before (I already befriended). You look absolutely stunning. What a great inspiration. I totally know how the loss of a loved one can lead you to overeating. I lost my mom June 07 and the weight kept pouring. So this year I decided to get banded and Im so happy although the weight is slooowwwwwlly dropping (only 15lbs in 1 1/2 months) Im excited. So thanks for sharing your photos it shows that determination with the band is key. By the way any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You really are an inspiration! Im so impressed I can't wait to see some progress I had my first fill down 15lbs, but feel no real restriction. Where are your blogs? I believe you told me sometime ago you posted blogs how do I get to them

Thanks for the request. Welcome hope you enjoy your experience Im recently banded 1/12/2010 just got first fill today so im excited. Take Car Let me know how everything goes.

Thanks for your advice I can't wait to be at that sweet spot stage.

Hi Camille saw one of your post on another bandsters page. Wanted to see how things have been going for you. Im newly banded 1/12/2010 and things are going slow for me wanted to know if you have any tips/advice. Thanks

Thanks so much for your post they were very helpful. I was banded 1/12/10 Im so in need of a fill (restriction) I too started regular food earlier than advised but I have no problems...I try to watch the amount but no pbing or anything like that. I get my fill on 2/10 I can't wait. How are you doing. So far Im only down 10lbs because of the food Im eating Im sure.

Hi Barb I see we were banded on the same day. 1/12...Im so in need of a feel hunger pains are shooting like crazy how about you. I lost 13lbs first two weeks wen to mushies now only down 10

8 more days til fill I can't wait. Hope you are doing well. Yes we will get through this.

Thanks! Im in the mushy/(regular food phase every once in awhile). I go for my first fill on 2/10 I can't wait hope he gives me enough to feel full soon but not to the point where im puking.

It's going slow . I can't wait for a fill. I have absolutely no restriction. And lbs are slowly creeping back up. Any advice? I go for my first fill on 2/10.

No but I have been cheating I must admit and that's prob why so Im going walking in the morning. I put on 2lbs it's so depressing.

Hey Skip, I think I have somewhat good news for us (which we should already know) first month is for healing I found a post (cut paste in the search field- How much Weight did you lose in the first month? Do not include pre op weightloss) After reading other bandsters post I think what we are experiencing is common. By the way I called my Dr today and begged for an earlier date for a fill and he said no, oh well at least I tried lol. He said first month is for healing.

Did you say cravings? Im beyond cravings lol bad stuff too I can't wait to get a fill before temptation takes over. Well I haven't really blended anything up I just try to chew longer I have no problems with that the only thing Is Im not getting full after 1/2 cup or full cup maybe 2-3 cups lol. Well My lbs are still lingering around hope to lose more soon. How much do you have to go to get under 300

Hey Skip I feel you Im too nervous to get on the scale after I saw a couple pounds added back on. I can't wait to get a fill and feel full ....No good recipes just mash potatoes, spaghetti with wheat pasta ground turkey meat(probably shouldn't be eating that) and soups. Let me know what you find out. Are you getting full after only 1/2 cup. I can eat way more than that it's scary and to know I have some fluid in my band hmmm I'm gonna have to tell the Dr. to load me up when he fills my band. lol
