Keep your head up I know the feeling.. My baby is now 19 months and money is still tight. I'll keep you in my prayers....... -
My 1st time was Tuesday, just had a new fill Friday and I was swollen. I work in a call center and was on a call when I felt it comming. The lady I was talking to just kept asking question after question and I knew that if I didn't end the call I would throw up while she was talking. Thank God she ended in just enough time for me to run to the bathroom and save the embarrasment for the next fill lol.

Hey, I love Atkins Advantage Cafe Caramel or vanilla. (There are other flavors also) I buy them from WalMart for $5.68 for 4 pack. Good Luck! Ps: I also use the WEY Protein Shots after my work-outs. WalMart about $10.00 for 6 pack

Inches gone but no weight loss, how can this be?
Amanda1982 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Okay Banders, I was banded March 7 2011 and so far I have only lost 29lbs. But I have gone from a 3x top to a 1x top and size 18 pants to 14 pants. Has anyone else lost inches but no real weight loss? Is it possible I’m gaining muscle from all the Protein and working out on a regular basis? At the end of the day I look better and feel better that’s all that really matters to me but I see my surgeon Friday and I’ not sure if he will be pleased with the fact that the scale is not really moving. -
Welcome Victor, just keep up the great work and know that you have Fiends here!!!! I'm 4 months post op and I'd be happy to share any of my own experiences with you. Good Luck on your journey

Six days post op you are still very swollen. It's going to feel funny for a while. But It will get better.

Sounds more like you are getting stuck not full. Try eating smaller bites and chew, chew, chew when you think your done chewing, chew again lol. Remember it''s a learning process and it will take some fills to get that full feeling. Good Luck.

For me it’s a tight little black dress...where my wait is smaller than the curves of my hips LOL. Oh and maybe some naughty Victoria Secret.
