That is great you were banded a month before me and i've only lost 36 from the date i was banded. What is your secret . How many ccs do you have in your band?It says you have lost a total of 70 pounds so im assuming you lost some before being banded. How much have you actually lost since your banding date?

I had 3cc I went to the dr this morning and he took out 1cc and 1/2. I go back in two weeks and he said he will put some in then if needed. I feel so much better already. I had lsot 6 pounds since my last visit 4 weeks ago. I will probably gain when I go back in 2 weeks though cause yesterday I couldn't even eat. So when I start to eat solids i will probably show on the scale hope not though. Elfe I was pbing I guess cause when I would eat it would slowly work its way back out with slim and food Water actually projected back out. Is that what you call that pbing. I'm having homemade potato soup for dinner and supper. Back to solids tomorrow.

I had a fill four weeks ago and I have vomited at least once each day on a good day bad day like today have all day even water. I have had a kidney stone so Havent really felt like eating much anyway. Kidney stones have always made me sick and I should have had an unfill when it started but I thought it wouold pass and the band would loosen up. Called dr made appointment for in the morning I'm going to tell him to take all out so my stomach has time to calm. I did loose a pound today but who wants to loose it that away?have had lots of protein shakes over those weeks. Has anyone experienced kidney stone with the band? If so did you have these problems?? My dr is not in the office tomorrow so I see his under study thats what the office assistant called him. Any support would be good.

I am having the same problem have lost 30 and stopped. Your BMI is low so yes I think yours will slow down but my BMI is high and I have stopped losing too. If you figure out what the problem is let me know. I have good restriction If not to much at some times. I use the treadmill 7 days a week for an hour and half each night. I have 1000 -1200 calories a day.

I think the band is working for me cause if I eat to much it comes back up. sometimes if I just takea bite it comes back up. What is the word for the chest pain and food coming back up. Is that a true stuck feeling. When I'm on my period that happens all week. Does anyone else have that problem? This time I got smart and stuck to mushies like potato soup. Finally today I got to eat real food. Its so sad my four year old said mom be carefull you might puck agian. I guess I was doing that more than I thought. Today I had a egg and cheese stick for breakfast. I still am not seeing a one or two pound loss a week like some say we should. I am eating 1000-1200 calories a day plus using the treadmill 7 days week for three 30 minute sessions a. day.which burns 600 calories day. I feel the weight should be coming off. In about two weeks I can join a gym can't wait. What exercises seem to help some of you? What foods have you guys been eating.

I got my protein shake from walmart after spending a fortune on the unjury the dr recommended and it was gross. Anyway I freeze the choclate just till its frozen enough to eat like frosty and it taste just like wendys frosty. I also got the vanila and i freeze it. it is even good to drink it just keeps me full longer for some reason if I freeze it. I find that very weird, but it works. Are you aloud soups that are creaming as long as thin. I blended a lot of soups like potato soup etc. Hope this helped

i got 4 differant kinds unijury and hated all no matter how I fixed it. I put it in the trash with I had of tired one before spending a fortune. I went to walmart got vanila and choclate and it was 14.00 each it is great. I like to freeze the chacolate it taste like wendys frosty. I mix it with skim milk. Wish I had of found these three months ago it would have really helped. I still have protein dink for breakfast cause i'm to tight in them ornings for any kind of food. Hope this helps

I would love to live in florida.we are going to panama city the west end. We rented a condo on the beach for nine nights. Thanks guys. I think I will be running just as fast as thwm this summer.

So how did you guys feel after your 2nd fill. I am doing the 48 hour liquid/ mushy but shouldnt i still feel some kid restriction. I feel I can eat more than before. He put 1cc in a 10 cc band that equals 4cc. The dr had hard time finding the port this time wounder why? Is that a bad sign? I made some cheesy potato soup for dinnand it was so good. i put potatoes ragu cheese and sour cream onions salt pepper. I had on cup but I made it thin texture. Do you think that was to much? My doctor was very pleased with my weight loss he told me not to rush it. He said you will see inches at first more than pounds on the scale.

I woke up and got on the scale cause i do this every morning to my supprise I lost two more pounds. I am out of the 260's and in the 250's. I also just booked a condo for me and my family at florida in july. My goal is to feel good enough to stroll up down the beach and play with the kids without getting out of breath or tired so quick. My goal is to be under 200 when we go. I have had a rough last month with my weight at a stand still, but thanks to all my bandster freinds support I have started to lose agian. The support from those you are in your shoes helps me so much. thanks to all and I wish you luck in the journey we are taking!:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

nI have no restriction and when I eat stuff keeps getting stuck what does that mean??Help! Then I have to drink so the food will come back up! Not sure what to do I go for a fill next week and really need it

Ok I did bad the rest of the day as well. I went to mcdonalds and had the big mac wrap which was 320 calories. omg! It tasted better than a big mac. But I did exersice longer today 200 extra calories.

I had my surgery on nov 23 and have 3cc in my bad. I had done great with my calories and exersice until last night. I don't even like coke, but for some reason I wanted one yesterday. I didn't drink it all at once a little hear and there but finished it within two hours. The pizza was very thin crust almost none with about 5 pepperonis. I had not had bread until last night and it went down fine. Had bout 5 pieces pizza. For supper I could not belive I ate the whole plate of cheezy cassrole. This morning the Hotdog and cassrole went down fine. About two weeks ago i got the stumack bug and had to Go to er so they could stop the vomiting, but I had already vomited for nine hours. they gave me three bags fluid. anyway I great restriction till bout two day after that. I will do better starting now.

I got so tired of exersicing and the scale not moving so I ate everything yesterday and drank my first diet coke. I started off good having two eggs for breakfast but then for lunch made homemade pizza. I had alot of it then made chezzy hashbrown cassrole for supper and had a whole plate of that. This morning for breakfast had half plate of the cassrole and one hotdog. I have decided to get over it and do better before I gain. I just needed to let it out that I screwed up. It just makes me made that I have done great and no weight loss. I have not ate that much since before the surgery.

I was eating the same amount of calories and have not lost a thing in four weeks. Finally uped my calories 1000-1300 and have lost a pound. I burn off 600 of those calories with the treadmill though. I am losing inches, guess cause muscle weighs more. Surely sometime soon the scale will move agian. Its been week since I lost this time. I am getting so discouraged! Hope it gets better for both of us.

I wanted that size band but my dr said my stomach was to small so I have the smaller one. You guys arfe lucky!!!

my first fill was 3cc i had to eat liquids for 48 hours. I felt resriction for two 1/2 weeks then got the stomach flu had to go to hospital. when you have the band its hard for stuff to come back up when you get a bug. you have to go to ER to get meds to stop it. Anyway I think it stretched the band or something ever since i have no resriction. I go for next fill next week and i'm going to ask the dr about it. Just wanted to warn ya bout the bug. i went to the hospital where i got my band and they rushed me straight back and gave me something to stop the vomit. hope your restriction last, can't wait till i get mine next week. How many calories are you eating?

How many cc is your band?

I was eating 700 calories and 60-70 protein and work out and my body went into starvation mode. I have since uped my calories to 1000-1200 AND HAVE LOST 2 POUNDS. everyone is different but I wish i had of raised my calories sooner so I could have lost more weight. Hope that helps

What are some things you eat? Are you exersicing and how often. I can't seem to lose and I use the treadmill 3 1/2 miles everyday and have 1000-1200 calories everyday. any sugestions for me what am I doing wrong???

GOOD JOB!!!!Sounds like you will need some new clotha soon.

You are six days out, my dr had me on liquid for 2 weeks mushy 2 weeks then solids. Today I had 2 eggs, cheese stick which I only like one kind jalopeana and 14 light pringles. lunch 2 oz ham cheese stick 14 pringles dipped in ketchup. snack cheese 14 pringles. dinner grilled chicken cut up very small dipped in light ranch dressing, green Beans. 1040 calories and 65 Protein The cheese helps me get my protein. I'm very picky and it is quick. I usually have fresh carrots or broccli dipped in ranch instead of the chips but I was out.

I'm in I would love to be down 30 pounds by Eater! My start weight as of Monday was 263, but I got up and lost 1 pound since I added more calories on Tuesday. Today 262 woooo hooo!!!! I'm on my way!!!!:w00t:
