Got my fill this week - down 3 lbs already. Hunger just magically went away. I guess i have needed a fill for a while. Funny how you know this is so hard on your own, but, I keep trying to do it. I think this fill is going to last me for a while. This is the first time since right after the surgery that 1/2 of food does actually fill me up. Now I really have to work on getting my Water in and counting my protiens and I think this next 25 should be not so hard.

I'm in! I just finished the v-day challenge and met my goal for that one a week late (better late than never?). I'm going to shoot for 15 pounds for this goal, as I do have a vacation in Jamaica coming up in two weeks and although I'll be working out every day, it'll be different food and a different routine...I'd like to do more than 15, but my weight loss is slowing after a full year losing 10 pounds a month on average, so I need to be realistic...

I'm in also! I had a rough weekend. I felt like I was starving! It's been so good this fill right up to this past Friday. I am relieved that I have a fill this afternoon, it should help. It's kinda crazy to think that by the end of this challenge I hope to weigh 145. I haven't weighed that since high school. I hope everyone has a great week! :frown:

I, also, had a bad weekend. I got a fill on Wednesday, I have restriction! But, I was on liquids and then full liquids and thought I could eat something yesterday. I pb'd 2x. Yuck, so I am doing full liquids again. But, I lost 5 lbs, hope they stay off after I start regular foods, again. :frown:

Count me in! I will be banded 1 year on 4/21 or Cinco De mayo is close enough to my bandniverasy. I would like to be at goal (my personal goal) by then.

After my 2nd fill, 2-17, I think that for now I have hit my "sweet spot". I just have to know when I am done eating! If I eat too much, or something with skin, like peppers, I will pb and slime alot. If I stop, or don't eat what I am not supposed to, I am good, now. I have lost 5 1/2 lbs since the challenge. I was plateaued for about 2 months before that. Hurray! for me. :thumbup:

Thanks for your challenge and support.

Hi everyone,

I had my first fill on Friday. I am definitely feeling the restriction and am struggling with eating s-l-o-w-l-y. I am thrilled with my band, but really in awe about how much of a physical and psychological impact it is having. Since it is new to me, I really am still wrapping my mind around how little I can eat. :smile2:

I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Hello everyone. I stumbled across this thread and decided that I would like to participate in your challenge. I am not sure if you all know each other or not...I hope that it is ok??? I really need some extra motivation right now. I put my info in the spreadsheet.

Well, I haven't been on here much since we started the challenge. I've had to tweak my band a few times and still need .25 removed, but that won't happen until April 5. But at least the scale is finally starting to go down again. I was too tight and then too loose and then not tight enough and now back to almost too tight again...thank goodness they only have to stick once to find the port each time...lol

But I was stuck at 168-172 for about a month with the band being too tight and then when it was loosened up, well, let's say I was at Taco Bell a few times a week eating nachos...so that little adventure is over :wink2::) I'm back to being almost too tight but not as bad as it was. So hopefully I'll be back on course for my challenge. Good thing is that I have my 42-mile bike ride on May 5. So whatever I lose will be a plus before the ride. Hope everyone is doing well!! Can't wait for the snow to go away here. Will be nice to be able to get outside more.

Nothing like a good challenge to get the body motivated. I just started with a personal trainer 2 weeks ago, to get me back on target. I've been lazy this past year. :thumbup:

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
