progress

I was eating everything because I could. You are doing much better than I was by watching your amounts. That is progress!!!! Its hard but please don't be discouraged when you get the right fill it really does make a difference. I could not say that a week ago. Call your dr and see if you can get a fill sooner. You may not be able to but they moved mine up a couple of days for me. It may help.

I was banded Oct 6. Surgery went great and no problems but had no restriction. Had a fill in November and still no restriction. I gained 9 pounds after surgery and was very discouraged! Went last week for for my second fill. I have lost 6 pounds! Please be encouraged that when you get the right fill it will totally make a difference. I was so discouraged I thought I had made a huge mistake by getting the surgery. I am encouraged again and feel like I am on my way. You are on your way too!!!!!

Congratulations on all your achievements! I just had my first fill and since this whole thing started I have gained 4 pounds. I don't feel any much restriction if any right now. The only time was the first few days after surgery. When do you start feeling the restriction and weight loss?

I can't help you but I am looking forward to see responses. I was just banded Oct 6. So far I have gained 6 pounds. Some say that is ok because its healing time. I went back yesterday for my first fill. They reminded me that this is just a tool and its up to me! I have had lots of tools in the past. Diet pills, Jenny Craig, Medifast and others.....If its up to me I'm afraid I am going to fail. Even after the fill I don't feel any restriction.
