Thanks... I really thought i needed to be unfilled ! I thought that when you stop losing weight its a sign that your too full.. i will call my dr today and try and get in... thanks again for your response means alot :thumbup:

I was banded on 07/01 and everything has been going great until recently. I am down 55 which is great but the last couple weeks I haven't been getting that full feeling, I stopped losing weight and things are getting stuck.. somedays I am able to eat more than I should but the next day the if I eat the same thing it will get stuck, I thought maybe I wasn't paying attention and not chewing but its been with everything even soup ! I feel like my dr doesn't listen to me he just comes in fills and leaves I am so frustrated and just need some options... thanks

I am sooooo sorry thank u for explanation but I meant post op I had surgery on July 1st.... sorry again for all that typing

Why do they make you do sugar free during the pre-op diets ? I am just wondering because some of the stuff on the list does have sugar and some don't. I wanted to drink a decaf coffee with sugar or should i use splenda ?

I just wondering how many days you waited or.where told to wait... I was told 10 days but I still have the sterile strips on and I don't want any issues...... but it is the hotest summer new England has had in years and I wanna swim

What is the name of the shot ? I have a Vitamin Shoppe here i will have to check it out. Thank you everyone for your great idea's and support !

I was just banded on july 1st so I havent had a fill yet, but to me it sounds like you got a good fill. As far as drinking i am not a big drinker so i also have problems with that, not sure if that has to do with your fill.. Congrats and keep up the good work!

I am super super picky thats my problem... I tried EAS i didnt care for them, i tried about 3 other types and finally got unflavored powder and mixed it with diet snapple but i can only get 2 in a day which is 40g of protein. I dont like cheese, but am drinking chicken broth which has a small amount of protein, i am just so frustrated when i try to just deal with the protein i want to vomit.. have you tried the protein water is it good ?

Is there anyone else out here that just could not what so ever meet the protein requirements ? These protein shakes are nasty and I just can't drink as much as they as me too and frankly after 8 days I am soo sick of them. I am completely starving and dont know what to do :thumbup: i am eating the jello and pops and nothing is helping! I was banded on July 1st :thumbup:

Hi there !! I was also banded on July 1st, glad to hear all went well. :confused:

Hello, I too was banded on July 1st. I moved to protein on the 2nd however i had a very hard time with it i couldnt stand the smell or the taste so it took me to about the 4th when i mixed unflavored protein with diet snapple. So looking forward to friday when i start pureed food !! :confused:

I was just wondering what everyone had done for the pureed diet i start mine on friday. I do have problems with the protein i just cant drink as much as they tell me so my protein intake has been low, but they also tell me not to drink if i cant. Never thought i would be excitied for pureed food so just needs some ideas !! Thanks :confused:
