Its a great day today I am 4 months post op and no fills yet I am down 88 lbs and feeling amazing keep ya heads up and WORK HARD

I find that hard to believe because measuring certain type of foods can be different and also chewed food is different also , it all comes down to control make healthy choices and you will be fine I am 4 months post op and havnet had a fill yet and im down 88 lbs

Not a good Holiday I really did treat myself a lot today !!!!!!!! Cant wait to get back on track Gym tomorrow bright and early !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Damn Sweets lol

August 27 2010 85lbs down no fills no regrets !!!

Awesome I was banded Aug 27 and I am almost down 85 pounds no fills !!!

I was banded on Aug 27 and havent had a fill yet so dont feel bad 2cc's in a 10cc band on surgery day , I like the speed I am losing at gives me time to work out and not have a lot of sking hanging ,Im down almost 85 lbs feels great

My first of any problems today I was drnking bottled water and swallowed some air and the water came flying back up it was funny and now I know what it feels like anyone ever done this ?

I was told to get 1300-1500 calories a day for proper weight lost , It goes by your body style good luck

What amount are you people eating 1 cup, 1.5 cup per meal? I feel like I am eating 2 cups per meal and I am still losing. I am trying to figure out if its my metabolism thats on fire or me going to the gym faithfully everyday . I would love to know if anyone is feeling the same way. I have a APS band 10cc with 2ccs and ive never had a fill yet.

I am post op since Aug 27 and have not been filled yet I am down 80lbs

Sounds like you are not getting enough calories my doc says I need 1300-1500 calories a day for weight lost it seems like a lot of food to eat for the band user but it can be done .....Banded Aug 27 APS band with 2cc's I never had a fill yet in 3 visits, so look into finding the right calorie count for your body style which is weight height and age.

My nutritionist told me for my body style I needed 1300-1500 calorie intake for weight loss

When you touch your port can you feel the place they insert the fluid?

I am always touching my port just to feel it and was curious what does it feel like or what should it feel like and can you tell by feeling it if the port has flipped? I havent had a fill yet but I think my next visit I will need one. I was banded Aug 27 2010 I have a APS standard band 2cc's of fluid

I was in the same boat my dietitian said I wasnt eating enough calories for my height and weight now I am eating at least 1500 calories a day and logging on a website is very helpful I join Anytime Fitness and they have a website that allows you to log food intake and exercise. Keep your head up my first two weeks post op was slow losing then it got lit on fire since Aug 27th I am down 71 gym is the key

Keep ya head up I was banded on Aug 27th and I am down 71 pounds (counting the 2 week pre op liquid diet ) and I feel like I am can eat more than a cup but not as much as I could before surgery. I believe the gym is a big part of the whole process and the gym has set my metabolism on fire. Ive been to the doc 3 times no fill and my key is to work hard and make healthy choices of your meals good luck.

2 poached eggs 3 slices turkey bacon half of Atkins Advantage bar and small sugar free vanilla ice coffee BANDED AUG 27TH

47 pounds from my goal weight ....Banded Aug 27

I would ask your nutritionist how many calories you can have according to your weight and height,cause I was doing 1000 calories and it wasn't enough calories for weight loss for my body type I am at 1300-1500 daily good luck

My doctor let me test myself trying some foods just days after surgery so good luck and stay with it if done right you will feel better in months I'm 3 months post and down 66 feeling amazing

I went for my 3 month doctor visit and doctor says I am doing great I lost 11 pounds this since last visit total thru the whole process is 66 since Aug 27 ....

Does anyone feel like there metabolism has change for the better? Reason im asking is I cheated a couple times and I felt like I over done it but I am still losing weight like crazy.

I am 7 weeks post op Surgery was Aug 27th and I am down 40 lbs ( well 60 if you count the liquid diet) I've had two doc visits no fills and now my weight is just jumping up and down for example Oct 10 I was 292 and didnt lose anymore until Oct 16th and on Oct 17 I was down to 289 after a long day of golf and walking 2 miles. Just a little frustrated i guess. I got use to the weight flying off im not sure what to do so i guess i will ask for a fill? Any thoughts?

From what I read your body burns Alcohol first then carbs then fat for energy ...maybe the drinking did it.

Anyone have any daily food logs they keep or blogs I would love to read them
