I am so glad I am not alone , mine is mostly at night when I lay down , I am not sure about the foods that I ate ( if there is a pattern) I will try to pay attention next time ,,, Good luck .Nellie from NYC

I was banded in Oct 2006., I am doing great with loosing weigh and all but lately I have been noticing that when I lay down I have this weird gurgling that is where my band is , what is that ?:help:

Me too ,this happens all the time for me, I am so upset when I don't loose weight , so when I see a weight gain like 3-4 pounds overnight this freaks me out, bit on the other hand it makes me be extra good that day or week...

Jack you are so right ,we always look for a hidden miracle that someone didn't tell us,,, the truth is we know what to do ,how to do it , etc. Thanks, Nellie

I still feel awfully discouraged at times, I eat,,,:help: and feel fool ,,,stop and 1 min later want to eat again and again ,,,why? Nellie

Hello I have been banded since Oct 25 th lost 25 pounds so far, I am trying so hard not a pound drop:confused: had 2 fills 4cc total with 10 cc band :help: :help: what should I do ? Should I do like Yavanne and do Atkins? Nellie

Good Morning , I just wanted to write a few thoughts, I had my second fill and I am not totally satisfied with my results, I have lost only 27 pounds since the surgery OCT 25th , I am not sure what to eat, I know more protein is best but I hate meat ,so I think It will be a challenge to find the sweet spot...

Great to hear from a New Yorka! How much weigh did you loose, Any fills yet , tell me more if you can .... Nellie:clap2:

Very true, I can eat bread, rice , ect.. but have a tough time eating meat etc..

Is everyone taking their vitamins? I am 2 months post op, I just relised I am not taking my vitamins, oops feedback please:confused:

Just wondering what you guys are eating? Banded in Oct had 1 (2cc) fill, no restriction . I am loosing 1 pound 1 day gaining 1 pound the next day up down up down for weeks now :help:

Hello to all, I had my surgery Oct 25, 2006 anyone else out there with same dated ,What are you experiences , how do u feel, how much weight lost? Feed back ,:faint:

I feel my port ,is that going to be forever or just while I am loosing the weight? :hungry:

Hello , I hope I can find some answers here since all the people are so kind and helpful. I had my surgery Oct 25, 2006 ,had lost about 22 pounds this week I had my first fill, well nothing I don't feel any different or any tightness I can eat a lot more food than I should, I called the nurse and she screamed at me that I should be on a liquid diet after the fill for 1 week, ok , if I had the will power to do this liquid why in the hell did I get the band in the first place? I know the band is not a miracle it's a tool to help us ,but I don't feel it at all, so what should I do ? Another thing I am using a MACROBIOTIC DIET ( no animal no dairy products no sugar ) so maybe it is slowing me down on weight loss . :help: :help: :help: Nellie
