Yea. I have good restriction I think but hope it lasts. I'm down 2 lbs in 3 days...hope losing continues! Hope u feel restriction soon!

How did it go? I got my second fill on Monday and posted about it.

So my first fill was 3.5 CD's in my 11cc realize band during my port revision surgery (my port flipped). I had a little restriction then but still could overeat until yesterday. I got another 3.5 cc's on Monday afternoon and was not hungry after I ate 2 bowls of Soup and about 10 crackers 2 hrs later. I didn't eat anything else the rest of the day because I didn't even think about food once! It was the first time in my life I didn't think about food all day! Then I ate soup, cheese, and chili yesterday and weighed in 2 lbs lighter this morning! Today I ate supper and got this pressure in my throat which is I guess my new "full" feeling and stopped eating even though I didn't get that old satisfied feeling I used to get after binge eating. Its sad to think I have to wait for that full feeling as it takes time to pass thru my band, wasn't what I expected to feel, but is uncomfortable enough to remind me of my eating disorder and that I need this tool!

Yep. The pressure is the gas they used in surgery. Walk and give it time. Good luck!

I love exercising too!

Its gas and id suggest gas x and walking ...goodluck!

I go for my second fill on Monday only 2 weeks from my port revision where I got 3.5 ccs and a little restriction. Haven't lost any more weight since a week after surgery Feb 1st...FRUSTRATING! I'm not gaining either but exercising almost every day!

Thanks I appreciate ur comment!

I am still exhausted! I had surgery Feb 1st and port revision surgery March 28th. Ugh! I can't get enough sleep!

Ask your doctor and if u don't want to out of guilt because of it not being a good food choice-dont eat it. My birthday was last Wed and it was the first time in 36 yrs I didn't binge on cake! I didn't even have any! Yay me! But u do u and don't make a decision u will feel guilty about later! Goodluck!

I just had port revision surgery on Monday (4 days ago) and walked on my treadmill for 35 mins at 2.0 which was recommended by my clinic. I had pain in my in incision area right after and all day today. Nothing unbearable but I'm concerned. My drs office said to put ice on it and don't exercise for 2 weeks -only 15 mins maybe. Not exercising means no weight loss! I got 3.5 ccs in an 11cc band but have not noticed a difference from when it was put in empty. Has anyone else had port incision pain after exercise? If so, what did u do?

*EAS soy protein

I hate all whey protein. I buy and love was soy protein. A good sized can at Walmart is only $10!

Sugar free fiber powder in my protein shakes.

Rockswife, I'm sorry to hear about your port. I was so disappointed that I cried in front of my surgeon and bf. I never cry in front of ppl! My surgery went sooo well today! I have the best doctor and the nursing staff were so respectful! I had zero pain and my doc told me the clamps simply detached from my muscle-pry no fault of mine, just my body "rejecting a foreign object of sorts". My doc admitted that he went deeper into my muscle tissue this time and is confident it's not budging. I'm sore and it is very tender when I use my an muscles, but nothing my liquid lortab can't knock out! I have a Realize band that holds 11 cc's. I was given 3.5 cc's during surgery yesterday and go back for another possible fill in 2 weeks! I thought I had to wait 6 weeks so that's exciting! I have kept off my 18 lbs plus lost 2 more prepping for surgery so I treated myself to a mani and pedi before leaving the city! Good luck to u rock, keep me posted!

Will do!

Drinking protein shakes is great nutrition. I like walmarts Eas soy protein w/ 1/2 banana, 5 ice cubes, and 8 oz skim milk!-350 calories, 30 g protein per shake!

I'm going in for my port flip surgery and 4cc fill on Monday March 28th! I'm excited! I can't wait until 1-1 1/2 cups of food is all I need to fill me up for 4-5 hours!

The port is usually right below the biggest incision. Mines on my right side.

Thanks for sharing this with all of us! Good luck to u!

My doc says 1200 to 1400 but I am only having that now and get my first fill on Monday. I was banded 2 months ago and have lost 19 lbs with no fill.

I'm glad I did the band still cuz u put weight back on with the others most of the time in my experience. I like the adjustable factor but if I can't get adjusted that's a def minus! My doc says this is a 5 year weight loss plan so two months in and I'm doing ok-not bad...

Love, my doc does the same post fill diet. Glad they found your "spot" lol 3-5 needles bent in me but still got no where

I started having panic attacks and they went away after I got on meds and about 3 weeks passed. If I were u I'd stick it out for a year...see how u do. Panic attacks are sooo scary, but maybe ur having them because u are anxious about losing your best friend...food? I was...
