Thanks Willow u made me call my dr office too and I go next mon for another fill.

I am feeling the same way right now I had surgery Oct 14th and had my first fill 11/16/09. I was feeling restriction for a while too and also lost 3lbs. Then with the holiday passing I may have gained that back. This is harder then I thought and it's really frustrating.

I have been burping more then ever since a few days after surgery what's up wit that?

Oh now I see I need to eat more Protein I forgot about that I guess the few small chunks of chicken that was in my soup didn't help any. Thanks for the advice. Yeah I got 3cc's monday I guess that's not a lot huh? I have a 10cc band I wonder if people get the fully filled ever.

The nurse said she want's me to be full 4-5 hrs after eating 3/4 to a cup of food. Today I ate a cup of soup and was stuffed around noon and then by 3 I was feeling hungry now im staving it's 4. I just got filled on mon.

Yeah it was very hard for me at first I was eating anything while on mushy's I felt bad and like a faluire I thought it was all over for me. Now im on track working out and trying to eat healthier and less. I don't weigh my foods or anything cuz I have no time, but I make sure to eat less and now that I have my fill I can feel it when Im full and it last for a long time. I started out at 349 and lost 22lbs when I went to get my fill I had gained back 6 lbs, but they stated that was ok. I just started my workouts which are only about 15-20 min for now until I work my way up to 30 min 3 times a wk. so hopefully that 6lbs will come off and more to come. All I can say is this time im not giving up and going to keep moving forward it's hard as hell, but gotta do it as I am also in a wedding next yr july so I have to get this weight off me.

Hi all how long did your first fill last? I had chicken and noodles today for lunch at noon and im still full. I had to wait 24 hrs before eating after fill was on liquids. I am still full I can't beleive it and this is what I needed. Im so happy now I also worked out today it was only 10 minutes, but hey it's better then nothing im just getting started. Just wanted to share this since I started off on the wrong path before.

Had surgery 3 wks ago can I take stool softners or maybe I should check with clinic right?

I have a lot and wish I didn't so don't even go there just try try hard. I don't think anything has happened to me, but like the other person said later on I hope nothing does for me. Yes I cheated and have been grubbing I am now on my 3 wk post op still eating mushy's and just got back on the wagon today and so far so good. I had coffee with splenda for breakfast and creamy soup for lunch. Will have something soft for dinner don't know what yet I am gone keep doing good until my fill on the 16th so hopefully I loose a few lbs when I go in. Please don't cheat I wish I hadn't.

I can eat about anything right now and lord knows I cannot wait til Nov 16th when I go for my first fill. I think I gained back like 2lbs that I lost out of 22lbs. It is very hard not to eat since i am not done with mushy's. What did you do what did you eat. I think im going to try to eat lots of salads and grilled meat. I also need to get my workout together.

Well I wasn't planning on going to any meetings or anything. I was on ww before in the past and still have my books so I was just gonna do it that way. Yeah im sure going to a meeting and saying you had surgery wouldn't be a good idea.

So did you start WW since your almost at your goal or did you start off with it. I just had surgery 10/13/09 so I don't know what do you think.

Yes I had a cup of soup and im stuffed. The only problem I have been having is I been craving for other real foods and been doing bad I just got back on track yesterday. I had to rewind my thinking and do the right thing. Anyway I went and bought like those cups of ravioli, easy mac, and some baked fish that you can pop in microwave. i got those for lunch becuase the store I went to didn't have any catfish and I love baked catfish. I wanna have that with spinach or salmon anything soft is what my cousin said and she even said to make sure you chew that up well too.

Thanks all I went out and bought some of those cups of easy mac and raviloi to have for lunch at work. Also I think im eating too much at a time becuase after I eat I feel nauseated anyone feel like this?

I am to start soft food tomorrow, but I started today. I had 1 packet of oatmeal for breakfast waited then drank my water. For lunch I had a egg salad sandwhich (toasted) from eddington's today with a half cup of soup. I think I am doing better then what I was. Tonight I will have probably just drink water and crystal light.

Hi all I was just wondering if any of u were doing weight watchers with your band and if so how is it going. I just got banded on the 14th of oct and im thinking about doing ww and curves as well with my band. What do you all think of this?

Hi all im glad to say im back on track with my post op diet. I was messing up pretty bad and I feel so bad about it. I start my soft food diet tomorrow and I am trying to figure out everything that I would be able to eat. I know in my booklet from the clinic it says fish chicken and like mash it with my fork. I was wondering if I can have like canned spinach I just wanna know what all soft foods to eat im confused.

I just wanna know how long after surgery did anyone drink liqour. I was just asking becuase I am invited to a new yrs party and wanted to know if I have a drink of wine or something will that hurt. I mean im not trying to drink all the time just for the ocasion.

I know I know I wasn't supposed to eat egg bake this morning at work, but it smelled so good now im paying for it. I feel so nauseated now. Is there anything I can take to make this feeling go away? Oh by the way im on pureed foods right now.

I start on my soft mush foods wed and I had trouble with the pureed already. I don't wanna mess up any longer. I have a meal plan kind of from the they gave me at the clinic, but would like more ideas.

Before surgery I lost 16lbs then after I lost another 6lbs. So I lost all together 22lbs pre and post op. I am just waiting for my fill next month and I can't wait. I haven't lost anymore so far becuase I have cheated a lil too. I am back on track though and going grocery my pureed diet is over tomorrow yaay. Then im on soft mushy foods for the next 2 wks we'll see how I do then.

Surgery on 10/14/09 I want me a hot mocha I normally drink those in the morning at work, but haven't had one since started pre op diet. How long before we can drink coffee not black coffee either.

You guys are making me want a pickle now lol lol I don't think we can have those just yet though. I have been cheating these past couple days, but not much though. I had some fish yesterday chewed it up really good. This diet is getting on my last nerve, but im hanging in there.

well soup isn't so bad becuase it's still liquid. I have been cheating on my full liquid diet. I had rice and chicken me and a friend shared a plate and boy was it good. Don't cheat though try to stick it out. Everyone is different I was ok nothing happened, but like I said soup is fine.

Yes I had this feeling when I drank a protein shake like 6 days after surgery. I wasn't supposed to drink it, but I felt so so hungry so I drank it and I think too fast. I was full for a very long long time as well. It will pass just be happy your full and not feeling the starving feeling.
