I dont drink protein shakes unless I get done working out with a trainer, which is 2x a week.I usually have no problem getting in 100g. I eat a lot of chicken and turkey! Pretty much everything I eat has protein in it, I pay alot of attn to that.

I had pretty good resriction before I got a fill, therefore they only put .25cc in my band. I am now hungry all the time! It really makes me mad. How can tightening my band make me hungrier then before? Hope your luck is better then mine!

Wow awesome, CONGRATS!

I gained about 3-5 pounds while on mushies. As soon as I went back to solid foods and working out, I dropped it right away. Dont worry about it!

I have restriction and i have .25cc in my band. If I had as much as you I think I would be having the same issues!

Try cutting down your carbs and eating more cals, but of healthy food! No mashed potatoes!! Did the chilli have the noodles in it, those are a no no too, also the meat is prolly ground beef and that is fatty. Are you working out yet? That should help.

Wow kuddos to you! I dont think i would have been ready 5 days. Im sure I could have done it, but I went back day 7 and man... it was hard! Glad your feeling better.

My surgeon allows one healthy snack. Try some veggies, it wont hurt :-)

I ate an hour before I had my fill today and I am allowed to eat whatever I want after.

Im sorry to hear you have no restriction. It seems to be pretty common. I feel kinda lucky. It might take a few fills to get you where you need to be so dont get discouraged!

I got my first fill today. I was so nervous! It didnt hurt at all! It wasnt comfortable when she was pressing on my stomach to find my port. She said I have some scar tissue so before she just poked me she wanted to make sure. I asked how much she put in and she said about 1/4. Does that mean i now have .25 cc in my band? She said she only put a little bit in because I was still having pretty good restriction and I stay full. So whoever is afraid that the fill is going to hurt, it doesn't AT ALL! I didn't even get the numbing stuff that some people talk about.

I def could not eat like that 2 weeks post op! And i was on mushies, so I wouldnt be trying. But I am almost a month post op and I could not eat that. I get full very quickly. Why are you eating like this anyways? If you are worried about strentching your pouch, why dont you stop eating like that! You wont have very much success that way.

how do you eat this many calories with the band? It seems that when I eat around 1400 cals thats when I lose weight, but I cant seem to eat that much while being banded!

I said this in a thread before and people chewed me out because of it. I don't understand how adults can swallow gum.

I am the same way. Not drinking after eating is the hardest part of this all! I prolly go threw 2-3 pieces of gum in that hour im waiting to drink!

I want to lose more weight. Idk if it will help since I am doing everything right... but the scale is barely moving and im sick of it.

This thread really makes me want to drink some pop... oh man I would give a lot to be allowed a diet coke! Its the hardest part of this whole thing not to drink it! haha

This is where my pain is when it "shocks" me.

I started normal foods just under a week ago and everytime I introduce a new food that I havent eaten since surgery back into my diet, I have diarrhea. I have to plan on when to eat these foods so I make sure I am at home! lol I am suppose to be taking benefiber but I really DONT think i need it. Maybe lay off of it for a few days and see what happens?

How much did you lose before surgery? When you start to lose weight it always comes off the fastest and easiest. I do not feel like I need a fill. I have lost 9 pounds in almost a month...which is two pounds a week. I am eating the right things, not cheating, Im not hungry between meals and I am sticking to a good calorie intake. I just started working out and I dont think I need a fill either, but I have one for Monday and going to go threw with it, it cant hurt.

I would think it means that shes going to fill you with the most that they do in one time.. which prolly ranges from dr to dr.

my thoughts too.

I have one, Ive used it tops 10 times. Im not a fan. If you want a discount on one, let me know, mine is like brand new, Id be willing to sell it, just message me if your interested.
