I wore stretchy pants and dresses for 2 weeks after..

Ok I will hold out - I got this fill on thursday. I can totally drink and keep down food so I will wait. Thanks !

I now have 6cc in a 10cc band... Eating has become very uncomfortable - I burp all the time when i am eating - everything feels like it sits in my chest - its just all around annoying . I was at 5cc before this last fill and I was losing weight good. My next appt isnt for 5 weeks ... What should I do ?

Depending on how big you are to start with .. 25 lbs doesnt look like much . I was 361 and I have lost 40 and i look pretty much the same. Just keep pushing and people will notice.

I was banded 8/2/10 and have 5cc in a 10cc band... I had 1/2 a Ruby Tuesday Burger on Saturday. I guess my band restricts how much I can eat not what I can eat !

How long have you been banded? I was banded August 2nd.... and this PMS stuff is still wierd to me .

The past two days I had like no restriction and I was hungry as hell .. today restriction is back! This band is funny funny funny :w00t: Have any of you ladies had this experience ?

1000-1200 calories is a severely restriced amout of calories for people who are 100lbs overweight .

Thanks ladies.. I also have noticed increased appitite . Im glad I am not the only one. :smile:

Ladies - Do you still put on a few pounds before/during your period? I am expecting mine and the scale is up 3 pounds.... I hate hate hate to see the scale go up !:smile:

Office Mate - I had my 1st fill at 6 weeks out. My next fill is at 9 weeks. I have 3cc in a 10cc band.

they call it bandster hell.. welcome to it !

That sounds like a little bit of calories for someone who is 100 lbs over weight and working out . Did you meet with the nutritionist when you went to get your fill ?

Hey Office Mate - How many calories appx are you eating a day?

I am going for my 1st fill on Thursday and I am super scared. My port is turned sideways and I am afraid they will have to stab me a few times to get it in . Sigh. Anybody have any experience with this ?

My 1st fill is not until 9/16.

Last week and the week before I could eat way more than I can the past few days. This week I havent been able to finish my meals and last night I fekt so nausous. How does one go from very little restriction to a lot ? Confused...

How much have you lost ?

Yaaaaaay .... I started TOM today .. so I attribute that to my pound gain ! *hopefully*

boooooo.. I had an episode on the road yesterday . I was driving and eating falafel. Next thing you know my chest was in so much pain that I had to pull over... after that the slimes came .. fun fun fun.

Thanks yall ... really needed to hear that it happend to other people.

4 weeks outta surgery ... 1 week of solids and I am up a pound . sigh. I know it is only a pound and I am still down 9 from surgery .. but it is just a bit disheartning . Just wanted to vent a bit :thumbup: Soooo can not wait till my fill on September 15th .

What do you do about hunger... i am starving when i wake up ! Waiting till 11am seems like tourture.

Thanks all for your helpful info !:biggrin:

I am almost a month out of surgery and for the past few days I have been getting stuck and sliming during breakfast. I am thinking its cause I am so freeging hungry at 8am that I scarf down my food... but I took it slow this morning and the same outcome . Is the band tighter in the morning or something ? Help ?!?!?
