Restriction but never not hungry

I thought Crystal Light was OK and sugarfree. I have had the band since 11/09/09 and I am still waiting on my first fill. (schedule issues) but I feel a complete failure at the band so far. I loose some and then gain it back - just like I did pre-band. I have been drinking Crystal light alot. Did this make a big difference for you? Thanks for the info. I am willing to try anything. -

I went for my fill on friday only to get a phone call half way there telling me I will need to reschedule because the office is going to be closed due to weather. I was/am very upset. I called to day to reschedule and they can not see me until 01/29/09. I will be banded almost 3 months before my first fill. Went back to liquid diet today trying to start over and try to loose some w/o fill. Ughhh! -
No restriction whatsoever!

Cocoabean - Thanks for the info. and a different way to look at this. Your right, my pre-op was like a crash diet. It does make sense thinking of it that way. Elfiepoo - Wow - 9 weeks and 3 fills - I am jeolous. I am also having issues with my thyroids. That is another reason I have had to wait for my fills. I have 2 mass on my thyroids and the biospy came back showing a cell that could or could not be cancerous. So I still have more test to do. I think Dr. Duncan will adjust my band according to me, but I honestly am not sure. I will know Friday at 9am, because I will be asking when I can come back for another fill. Thanks for the 411. I will be more aggressive it needed. I am kinda a professional at that:angel_smile:. LOL. Both of you keep up the great work.:thumbup: -

My surgery was November 9th and I will not get my first fill until January 8, 2010. I am really nervous about going. Not because of "fear of fill", but "fear of scales". I know I have gained about 6lbs. I also have only my scars to remind me I even have the band. Even though I have really tried to drink my water, make good food choices, eat less and exercise I have still gained. Has anyone else gained before their first fill? -

Let me just say. WOW. I want to be like you!!You look great. Love the hair. Wish I could be that brave. -
I was banded on Nov. 9th. This has been a slow process for me. I will not get my first fill until January 8th. The holiday season cause me to be delayed. Thats OK. I am excited about getting a fill. Right now I can eat ANYTHING I want and that is not good. Sometimes I forget I even have the band.
Thanks for the sweet complement. I can not wait until I can do a full body shot on my profile.
You look wonderful and you seem to be so outgoing and happy now. I am happy for you keep up the great work.

Hey lady, I just found where you posted asking me about Dr. Duncan. Have you already gotten your band?
If not I highly recommend Dr. Duncan. You do have to be patient with his office, because they stay very busy. But it is sooo worth the wait. I was banded 11/09/09 with him and it was a wonderful experience.

Lookin good! You have a beautiful smile -
This was my first season to watch the show and I loved every bit of it. I was glad to see how well everyone looked. I agree I would like to see how they look in a few years and I would like to ask them how much their life has changed. I guess I am interested in knowing what have been the biggest changes for some "goal meeting lapbanders" ???

Last night I was able to sleep on my stomach/side. Not really all the way on my stomach, just my left hip. It is our comfy spot and I was so glad to get back in it. YEAH!!! Banded 11/09/09 -

Amazing!! You look wonderful. Great job! :} -
You look great!! Keep up the good work -
Yeah! I am glad everything went well for you. The gas pains can be a bugger, mine only lasted a few days, so hopefully you are already feeling better. My test result came back as inconclusive. WHATEVER!! I am not very happy about this. I will go back to Dr. Duncan on Thursday and hopefully he will be able to tell me a plan to put this issue in the past. I will keep you updated. I also want you to keep me updated on how you are doing. What is you post-diet and how was your Thankgiving?

Marnina If you are pissed about your weight lose, I can't image how I am suppose to feel. I was banded on 11/09 and I have only lost around 5lbs since surgery. I actually lost a few more than that, but I have gained a few back. However, I know that I am eating what I should and that I am being active. I am just gonna have to give this tool some time. I was unable to loose weight without the band and I did HONESTLY follow the diets and I exercise 6 days a week (Personal Trainer 2 and walk 1hr for 4 days). So, my advise to you is to be proud of yourself for what you have already accomplished. Some of us, like me, would love to see the weight loss you have. Hang in there and anytime you think your not doing good send me a message and I will be there to encourage you from one struggler to another. Keep Smilin' :confused:
