I recently had a fill (01/12/2010). Things have been good and bad since then. Ive lost 13 pounds which is good. My food intake however has been difficult. I have to be careful to get my water and enough nutrients to stay moving. I wanted to get some feedback from you all.

When I wake up no matter when there is nothing going down. Water, juice, nothing for at least 2 hours after I awake. Normally then when I can drink I through down a good bit of water. Try to go at least a quart. Then Im ready to eat. Ive not been brave enough to try big food yet. I have done soups and some canned tuna which would indicate I could eat better. Rotisserie Chicken with soup. Later I can prep to eat again but sometime I just dont. Eating anywhere near bedtime is a no-no too. 3 Hours at least.

Ive been banded for 6 years. Im ready and willing to really get this working for me cause I feel like Ive been playing around for years now. I did weigh in at 280 Im now 225. I feel as if Im too tite but plan to work with this until I get my goal weight of 170. 55 Lbs away. Anyone care to comment? Thanks

Sounds miserable.... I would get some backed out... Now I too cannot eat solids when I wake up but I can do protein drinks or oatmeal. I know you really want to get the weight off but this is not the way to do it and you risk complications if your band is too tight. And if you're not eating solids then that defeats the purpose of the band ( restriction )

just my opinion!!!
