I always thought bandster hell is when your eating too much! It sounds like you need a little of an unfill. I have 6cc in a 10cc band and I am able to eat anything, I don't have to chew everything into tiny bites and I stay full for the amount of time I am suppose to. I lost 4 pounds this week, so its working. I dont ever want my band to be so tight that my food is coming back up. I would maybe switch to liquids until you can get into your docs office. Its not something you just have to go threw.

I havent measured myself. I know this sounds crazy but the only thing that matters to me is the scale.

Thats crazy that they wanted to make you so long! I got banded the 17th had pretty good restriction but went in for a small fill 4 days short of 4 weeks post op. My swelling must have went down a couple days after because I was starving, I tried sticking it out for two weeks and on the 2nd week i gained 2 pounds so I called and told them what was going on. They got me in that day for another fill! Theres no reason to make you wait that long, glad you did what you did!

Im jealous you live so close to the beach. All I do is go to work and the gym.. its pretty much my life. haha. Im doing good. Got another fill last monday because I gained 2 pounds. I lost it now, but man I wish the weight would come off faster. Getting to the gym as much as I like to is hard for me because after work I am so tired and I have other stuff to get done, so next week I am going to try and go to bed an hour earlier and get up before work for the gym, crazy I know but I want to see if it helps and if it does I will stick to that! Glad to hear your doing well!

Me neither. I weigh myself so much that I can usually predict how much the scale is going to say at night or if I eat something that is more salty then most. My personal trainer keeps telling me only to weigh myself once a week, but whats the harm in 5x a day ?! lol

thats nothing like nip tuck! lol

im 22 and idk if I could put myself threw that.... omg after seeing that Im pretty sure any thoughts of had about it are gone.

I get on the scale everytime I walk into my room and out of it. Its soo addicting! I cant stop!!

omg this is grosss!

I am having the same problem! Wish my number was that low though! haha I believe that weight is the only way to measure and I dont believe that I am working out is causing me to gain muscle and blah blah. It is frustrating and my personal trainer kicked my butt today because the scale was up two pounds! I work out 5-6 days a week and my eating is on point! I went for my 2nd fill today, hopefully it will help some!

I was so scared to get my fills!!!! THey dont hurt at all, IDK why I was so scared lol. I dont get the numbing stuff and its just like a little poke, less then someone pinching you. You will be fine dont worry about it!

The bagel thins are awesome! I make a fried egg and throw in on there for breakfast! YUM!

I had my first fill a few days shy of the 4 week mark but I was already on solid foods. I only got .25cc put in because I still have good restriction. I wouldnt go for a fill if you arent on solid foods yet, how do you know how its really working ?

Well i lost 4 pounds this week... soooo maybe its not the depo... idk really :-/ I think ill get one more shot and then look into my other options in the mean time. Im not ready to give it up yet! lol

After 3 straight weeks of -1, finally a -4! Just hit my 2nd mini goal!

Im wondering if the depo is causing my slow weight loss now. Im suppose to get another shot on July 1st and im wondering if I should try something different, but oh how i love my depo :-/

I really doubt 60 pounds weight gain was from birth control. but all peoples body react differently to things i guess. :thumbup:

Im on the depo shot. Side effects are weight gain but I lost 20 pounds the first 3 months I was on it..

Its prolly no longer gas pains. Did you get a hital herina fixed? My doctor explained it to me, but from surgery you get the shoulder pain. I am a month post op and I still get the shoulder/neck pain. Its horrible! I cant wait for it to go away. I wasnt eating much the first 2 weeks after surgery, you will be hungry soon. Promise lol. The pain in your lower stomach is prolly from the port that is attatched to the muscle. I also randomly still get that pain. Still healing I guess :-)

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.
