Krystal, I have been away for some time. Just read your entire post. WOW! I love your honesty. Please keep up the fabulous work and keep posting. You are inspiring me!! You are helping so many of us. Thank you!! I myself had to stop weighing. Yesterday for the first time in 4 years I purchased an 18/20 top from Lane Bryant. The day of surgery I was wearing 26/28. YEY!!!!!!!!!

My goal is to continue walking 5 days a week and move up to 3 miles each time. Which I did today for the first time!!! YEY for me. I want to lose 15 pounds this month!!!!!!!!! Please God let me achieve this goal!

I could have written this myself soon after surgery. I had no restrcition what so ever until my 3rd fill. I could eat whatever Iwanted until then plus was hungry. This is normal. You will get there it will just take time. I promise!!!

Good for you! Keep up the good work!!

I think this a personal decision. I have heard of people getting pregnant before they were at goal and everything is fine. Pray about it and the right decision will come to you. I would like to get pregnant this fall and I my 1 year will not be until December. It is going to have to be a game time decision for us according to how much weight I wil be down by then. Good luck to you!

Thank you spakling. Enjoy your new baby, they are precious gifts from God!

thank you so much for the info!

I have done a search on this web site and others about the bodybugg, COuld you please give me a web site i can order one from or where do you get it? Thanks!

Sparkiling, I have to ask, Were you at goal when you got pregnant? I am wanting another baby but don't know if I should wait to I get at goal. I know the doctor recommends you wait a year but I would really like to start trying in Sept. Trying to get a spring baby!!!

I am so glad I found this! I have the same problem. Dense food I can not eat but mashed potatoes I can eat and eat. I have 4cc's in my band so i don't think I need a fill but do I just live on mushies?? I am so gald I am not the only one with this issue

Congratulations! I am so happy for you! Babies are such wonderful blessings!

Thank you so much. I am glad to hear this is normal. I eat proten, protein, protein! I will keep this up and maybe the hunger will get a little better. It is not bad, I just thought I would be stuffed until my next meal.

Ok, so I guess I am alone on this. Does no one have this issue but me????

Ok, here is my problem. I think I have great restriction. I can only eat about 1/4 cup of protein at one time but I get hungry like 2 hours after I eat. Is it safe to eat 6 small meals a day. I am getting about 70 ozs of water in a day plus 20 oz's of green tea. At 2:00 today I ate some peanuts and a protein bar. I was soo full, I hurt. How long should I stay full?

Last night I ate 1/2 cup of cottage cheese for dinner. I was still hungry but did not let myself eat anymore. You know what, I survived the night!!!!!!!! I thought I would just be starving but I was not. I guess I need to start being content and not full!

Hi everyone. been awhile since I posted. I got my third fill today. I am at 4cc's. I really hope I have some restriction now. i have not lost any weight in the last 3 weeks. Does anyone else have 4 cc's in their band? If yes, how do you feel? How much can you eat?

Help! What do I do. I need a fill but the doctor can't get me in until Feb. 13th. I am so scared I am going to gain weight in the next few weeks. I have been so hungry? Has this ever happened to anyone?

Thanks so much for this post

I think you need a fill. 1 cc is not alot all. Get into see your doctor asap. Canyou up your appt? I have done that when I can eat more I call my doctor. When you hate your job it makes you miserable. I have been there before. Focus on yourself. Get another fill, then another after that. Keep going until you find your sweet spot!!!

You are so normal. I did not have any restriction until i had my fill. I am 2 weeks out from my first fill and can eat more than I should so i am going tomorrow for my second fill.

I called my doctor today and getting another fill tomorrow. I really hope this helps! Thanks everyone for the tips. I was able to eat nachos last night so I know I need a fill. I made them at home so they were healthy!

I need help? Do I need a fill? I am getting hungry after 2 hours of eating. I can eat way more than a cup of food but I do get stuck when I eat dense food such as chicken? Mushy food is not staying with me. What do yall think?

I would be a thorn in your doctors side until he made it right. Do not give up. You keep going to see him, keep a food journal to show him what and when you eat. Keep us posted!!!!

I was the same way! I was banded on the 20th of Dec and did not have any restriction until my first fill. Now some people do not have restriction until their 3rd of 4th fill. So hang in there and just try to eat well, get your water in and exercise!

I too was on my period during my surgery. I go the nice mesh paties and a big ole pad. After surgery they made me go to the bathroom as soon as I woke up. Well I was used to pads sticking to the panties and these do not so it fell in the toliet. The nurse had to fish it out! I was soooo embarressed!!!! I even offered to get it if they gave me gloves but they would not let me!!!!!! My husband was rolling!!!!!
