Adjustment appointment
Most of the time, surgeon or who ever fills you will give a numbing to the spot where the needle goes into. My surgeon has us do 2 days cler and 2 dys full liquids after the fills. Best wishes, Karen..aka..kll724

Banders Exercise
Well, sat on my butt for 4 hours this morning in a meeting at my grandson's school. Does that count as exercise? Yesterday I worked in the school media center for 4 hours, and checking in and out books. This is a high scoring STEM school and the media center is very busy. I can't guess how many books i logged in and/ out, but I stood for most of it since it was easier to move them along.

Can Anyone Else Identify?
I can definitely identify. I felt the same way, talk to your surgeon about this. Mine chose to do nothing. But someitmes you might want a slight unfill to help you stabilize your weightloss. Good luck, Karen..aka.kll724

Green Zone or too tight?
You sound spretty "green" to me. I agree, why woul dyou wan to eat more? SOunds like you are eating just about enough. Are you able to go 3-4 hours withput thinking of food? If so, you are probably green. Take care to make sure that you are getting enough to drink too. Karen..aka.kll724

Acid reflux
I will tell you waht works for me when I have reflux.Tums. I saw a show on "Fox and Friends" on Sunday where Dr Zamati(sp) said the best thing to use would be TUMS! It works best for me. Best wishes, Karen..aka.kll724

Help me PLEASE! Need some restrictions!
Looks like you are doing great, so far. You have lost 95 lbs in a year! woohoo! i like lisoncaron's idea of calling teh nutrionist and speaking 1-1, to see if you can somehow move up to a sooner appointment. Best wishes, keep up the good work, too! Karen.aka.kll724

Restriction......?
Yes, kimk1999, that is what you are looking for, but I am not sure that others realize the same thing. I think some folks are looking for a hand to come out and say STOP! My son-in-law has finlly gotten restriction enough that 3 bites of sandwich is all he can take. Well, guess what, s-i-l, I haven't had a full sAndwich in 4 years. I have shared a "Subway" sandwich with my hubby, by cutting a 6inch in 4's and eating one. He is really losing now, with his "restriction". Best wishes, anD watch out for head hunger, too!

I think I've had slip.. Help
I agree, call the surgeon's offcie. It could be a slip, but without them checking, it is no way of knowing. I don't think I would wait for 2 weeks, if I was in pain. Karen..aka.kll724

help
What cheryl said! liquids, liquids out! Calm down, you will do fine. The1st 2 weeks re for swelling to go down. Best wishes, Karen.aka.kll724

Little Worried
You would know fairly quickly if you had a slip! Your doctor would also know. It sounds like you are right on track. Not everyone achieves restriction the 1st few fills. If you are eating a meal and are satisfied after eating, adn not hungry for 3-4 hours, then you are at green. If not, then you need more adjustment! Best wishes, karen..aka.kll724

Hit plateau
What tmf said! Are you exercising? What works for hubby might not work for you. What does the surgeon's office say? are they suggesting anything? But, as cheryl said, sometimes the weight stops and then restarts by itself. Just keep on doing what has worked so far. Best wishes, Karen..aka..kll724
