It is nice but hot and humid here... I have lost 30 somethin lbs but about 8 inches all over- YEAH! I have only had 2 fills of 3cc's total not too happy with that cuz i am still hungry but thanks to people like you the encouragement helps...

Hello- I was just banded on 4/2/09 in Melbourne by Dr. Kasemsap at WMH. I would be happy to share my story and answer any questions you may have- Feel free to email or message me anytime...

YOu look fabulous! keep up the good work- it is very encouraging for a newbie like me!

I have been on mushies for 2 weeks and am slowly graduating... I feel full most of the time- I dont see the MD till 5/15 and possibly may get a fill depending on the # of lbs lost. Some things go right thru others linger a while.....Glad to hear you are doing well! keep in touch. lisa

Hola mama... glad you found this.... you will find a ton of usefull info-

Bad news... I just found out that my doc's support group is on the 2nd thurs of each month so I unfortunately wont be at yours. I hope maybe if there isnt interest or we have cx or something then I can return- so having said that can you tell Margie (she was sitting on the other side of Jessica) to email me? I tried to eamil her and find her on myspace but her email address was invalid.... Thanks- PULEEZZZZZZZZZZZZ keep in touch with me....

Hay Courtney! How goes it? Hope you had a hoppy easter! haha- Tried mashed potatoes and scrambled eggs this wknd.. yummmm.... BTW- had my 1 week post op on Friday- lost 13 lbs- total of 29 just so far- YEAH! I am so stoked!

HA! Found you--- Hope you had a hoppy easter!

I just found out that my doc is scheduling our support meetings on the 2nd thursdays of each month- I wont be able to clone myself and be 2 places at once but pls keep in touch with me....lisa

Hi there- Hope you had a happy easter! am doing well- got to introduce mashed potatoes and scrambled eggs this wknd- yummm nice to have something different.! Have a good week!

Congrats on your success! I is nice to see the results of a heavier person that started out- What has kept you going? I am in that frustrated phase- I was banded 4/2/09 and have NO restriction and my doc gave me 2cc fill #1 and tomrrow is 1cc fill #2- I am upset he is not more aggressive as I see some posting on here with a 10cc band and getting 5cc's first fill- any suggestions? It is hard mentally cuz i have the band yet my eating hasnt changed much cuz I am always hungry... HELP!!!+

Hello there- Hope you had a happy easter! how are you doing? I am good- got great news friday- 13 lbs more lbs lost since surgery! yeah! i got to introduce mushy foods this weekend and had mashed potatoes and scrambled eggs- it was nice to have something different- how have you been doing?

Hay! It was so nice to meet you tonight- It is nice to see our group getting bigger.. Feel free to email me here or at lml32937@cfl.rr.com with any questions or anything.. Good luck with your journey!

Melissa right? How are you feeling? Missed you at the support group tonight... Lisa

Ok girlfriend... where ru? you havent responded to my msgs- just makeing sure you are ok....

Thanks for your message and support! It is awesome that we have this...

Hi- I'm Lisa Marie too..... just wanted to say Hi!

Thanks for sharing your story... I am new here.. How do I add you as a friend?

my band is 14 cc's and now I have 3 ccs after 2 fills.I have NO restriction, can basically eat anything and am hungry about 2 hrs after eating. The mornings I am less hungry than before but mid day and afternoon are the worst- I am trying to re-adjust my eating to when I am hungry and not by time of day... I am hopeful to get more fills soon.... we will see.. when were you banded? me? 4/2/09. So for me I know I have a long ways to go-

Hay girl... I got my first fill 2day--- 2cc's so far so good- how are you doin?

Happy monday! how goes it? How was the meeting last week? Ours was short and sweet- there were only 3 of us but very informative... I got my first fill today- 2 cc's.... Dont know what or how I am supposed to be feeling but hopefully some restriction will come soon- write when you can.

I am ok... I havent had any fills yet- But I think I am in this "bandster hell" they talk about- ALWAYS hungry- worse since starting on foods- I feel like going back on liquids..... I have my f/u on 5/15- we will see- how much have you lost? I know I am loosing inches- dont know about the #'s yet...

Did u have this "bandster" hell and how would you describe it.... I think i'm in it...

Any reccomendations on how to live in the "bandster hell" everyone talks about?

Hay ? 4u.... Since I have started eating mushies- I notice that I am hungrier more often than when I was doing liquids? Riddle me that one.... Is this normal? It is like I eat and my pouch is wanting more- not at 1 time but at like when i did liquids/soup etc I could susstain myself no problem- now that I am "eating" breakfast- mid am snack- lunch- mid aft snack- dinner and snack i feel more hungrier despite that at least 2 of these are liquid supplements?
