I know exactly how you feel, it is very frustrating. I was banded on Dec 15th and lost 20pounds. I have had 2 fills and I still feel like I can eat anything. I just want to scream. But we have to hang n there and in the end it will all work out. Lets keep our head high and on the prize!

Thank you all for your response..

Keep up the good work. That is great!

I am scared of flying now.. OMG

Please help, I have had 2 fills and so far I am still able to eat anything under the sun. I have lost only 20 pounds in 3months,. I am very discouraged. Please help me, I dont know what to do...

Thank you for sharing! I needed to read that...

That is great news. You are an inspiration.. that lets me know it can be done.. Keep up the good work!

Thank you both for your success stories. I helped a lot. I am beginning to get discouraged Keep up the good wrork

I know exactly how you feel. its hard for me to give you positive feed back b/c i am in the same boat. I am very frustrated about my weight loss and just about ready to quit. I had the surgery on 12-15 and I am down only 16 pounds with one fill. I have a little restriction but I feel like I can eat anything I want, but I am not.. So I know.. Lets hang in there and see whats happen.. Keep your head up...

Today I had my first fill. Whats the next step? Will this allow me to finally get the scale moving in the right direction? I was banded on Dec 15th 16 pounds down. Help?

I pray for you.. at least you are loosing, I do not have a fill and I have not lost any more weight since my surgery. (12-15) Pray for me as well, I am sooo discouraged

Well. It was nice to read that Iam not alone in this journey. I am not loosing weight and it is very depressing. I have no fill and cant wait to get my first one.. But it is discouraging to know the first one may not do the trick. I am starting to feel like I should have had the gastric bypass...

I agree. You have done a wonderful job with your weight loss. I hope I will be able to show the same results in a year. I am not loosing that much at this time, but I am not giving up. Keep up the good work! quote name='dk4k' timestamp='1295628433' post='1564548'] You are the only one who can answer that question, but 177 lbs. is looking PRETTY good from way up here! Congrats on your success.

can you all share the secrets to your weight loss. I have lost 16 pounds in 1 month with no fill.. Need suggestions to get the weight loss moving... Thanks

me to0. I will start drinking more Water.

I actually get my first fill on the 26th. I have absoluletly no restriction and it has me a little concerned. I can eat just about anything I want. I havent gained any weight but havent lost much. SO I am with you. I am Praying that the fills work.

That is possible.. Good luck you on your weightloss journey

Good Question! I cant wait to read the responses

I am not sure if I had a hiatal hernia or not. I had the surgery on December 15th and I have not seen my doctor since they put me under for the procedure. I have gone back to the drs office for check-ups but have not seen the doctor. i have 5 incisions (instead of 4) with one of them right between my breast bone. I was told by someone else who had the procedure don that if I had one there, then i may have had my gall bladder removed. I think this is something i will check into when I go back onthe 26th. They should have told me...

I think you will be fine if you have not had a fill yet. Just try not to eat too much. I am 4 weeks post-op and I am able to eat just about anything, I just havent. i cant wait to get a fill so i can have some restriction

I agree, I am afraid of not loosing at all. I am loosing very slow with out a fill and cant wait until I get my first one. quote name='Beachbunny' timestamp='1295004672' post='1560179'] Im not fearful of gaining back ...im fearful of not losing it all!!!

I did. and they were good. I stuck to the 1/2 cup though. It was a good relief....

Congratulations on your 100 pound weight loss. I hope I will have the same success as you.

I am afraid to try steak.I couldnt digest it 2 well before the surgery, so I think this is one meat I should leave alone.

That sounds delicious. If it doesnt snow tomorrow I am going to get the ingredients to make this... Thanks for sharing..
