Hi Soco, I get my first fill tomorrow too. Haven't gained any weight but I haven't lost any in 2 weeks either. I'm also having the same problem with my blood sugars. Sometimes that seems worse than the weight thing. Just because I know I can do better. I can't believe you said you're looking forward to liquids and mushies again! I was thinking the same thing yesterday! LOL

So how's everyone doing after the first fill? I have mine in two days (Oct. 16th). I haven't lost any weight since the first 20 lbs. so I'm really excited to start loosing again. I hear you have to go back to liquids for a couple days and then mushies again. That will be a little tough since I've been eating solids and really enjoying them. Of course, I'll enjoy more weight loss better! lol

Hi Katy, I had the same problem and was informed it could be due to gas or that it could be from eating too much. I know sounds weird, but apparently if you eating too much causes pressure on the diaphragm, which causes shoulder pain. I just kept moving my arm up and down in case it was the gas. I wanted to work it out of there. It seemed to help. Good luck!

I'm in Mount Vernon and was banded in September 2009. I would love to get together with some people.

:cursing:I need to edit the info I posted this morning. The shakes at Costco are $24.00 for 18 and they have 1 gram of sugar (I think I said 3). Sorry for the misinformation.

I've been drinking Premier Nutrition Protein shakes. They're pre-mixed and they're wonderful Of course, I drink the chocolate too! They have 30 g of protein, 160 calories and only 3 g of fat. I get them at Costco and they also run about $2 each, but come in cases of 18. I highly recommend these and plan on drinking them after I go back to regular food. My husband is going to start too.

Hi everyone, Well it's been over a week since I've been banded and I'm hungry! LOL I think I might need a fill soon because my stomach is always growling 1/2 hour after eating (drinking) something. To those who are getting banded in MX, I was also. It was a very good experience. Everyone was wonderful. I was banded on Friday and back to work on Weds. Still a little uncomfortable with bending, but that's about it. Good luck to all of you!
