My band also gets tight in the evening. I am fine for breakfast, lunch is my biggest meal of the day. When it comes to dinner I attempt a few bites and am afraid I will PB. I have been drinking a glass of milk or a protien drink for dinner. I guess this is good for me because before my band I would not eat breakfast small lunch and eat anything not tied down from dinner to bedtime.

I just got my 3rd fill 2.4cc's I have lost 32 lbs and feel great! I keep telling my self I didn't gain this in a few months, so I know it will take time to get it off. My short trem goal is 10 lbs more by the new year.

You know your banded when you can't finish a lean cusine and your full.

What is first bite syndrome?

Add me to the August list. I was banded Aug.25, 2006 I have had 2 fills ( 2cc's in a 4ccband) I have lost 36 lbs. I get my third fill nest week I think that will be the sweet spot! I love this!

Why do I keep getting the hiccups? If I eat too fast (whick I am working on trying to slow down) or if something gets "stuck" I get the hiccups and can't get rid of them

welcome to band land! Who is going to do you fills, I go to dr Curry he is great, take care!

I have started on regular food, and I am having a very hard time chewing and taking small bites s l o w l y. I keep getting this feeling in my chest, and feel like I have to burp but cant. I get all clammy and feel like I would feel so much better if it just came up. AFter a few minutes I am able to burp lots and it goes away is this a "golfball"

Keep up the good work!

I am with you guys I cant take a deep breath, cough or sneeze. My back is still hurting post op and I was banded on the aug. 28th when will this go away????

I was banded aug 28th ( monday) I was sore but went back to work on thursday. I will be one week post-op on monday, and I feel great. My port area is a little sore. I just got back from the mall

way to go!! Keep up the good work! Can you give me any advice that would help me do as good.

I was banded on the 28th too! My first day was rough, second day was even worse, but on wed. I was not felling that bad. I went back to work on thursday.

I did the same clear liquid diet 2 weeks before I was banded on aug 28th. I have to tell you that was one of the roughest thing I have ever done. I even woke up at night because of hunger pains. After being faithful for about a week, I broke down and ate a baked chicken breast. My hunger pains went away, and I wasnt as nervous and was able to think. I continued to follow the doctors order about the diet, but made sure for dinner I ate a small piece of protien. My surgery went well, and I was able to stay on clears this week with the band in place, and feel full.The feeling was much different than before the band. total weight loss after 3 weeks on liquids is 13 pounds. I am sure I would have lost more if I had not cheated, but I am happy with the results. Good Luck!

way too go! I know how you feel, I was banded on the 28th and had my first check up yesterday the scale was down 13 lbs. I wanted to tell everyone , and well I did!
