At 246 lbs, checked into hospital 6 am, home by 11:30; no complications. On 5/13/10, at 233 lbs, had first fill, 3 cc's in 10 cc band. I feel no restriction whatsoever! As a matter of fact, I feel no diff today then before WLS. WTF?

Hi!

I was also banded in March (3/5) and just had my second fill this past Monday. Until Monday, I couls eat and drink whateverI wanted. I felt NO restriction at all. Fortunately, I was aware that this would be the situation from reading so many of the posts on this forum. Since my second fill, I am starting to feel some restriction. Not there fully, but getting there. As they say - we are in Bandster Hell. I have just been keeping my portions small (around 1 cup 3X a day) and walking like a crazy lady - 2-3miles per day. We have a March 2001 forum page - come join us there. Hang in there - you are doing GREAT!!!!

I'm in Bandster Hell...I am more hungry now then before my 1st fill which. My stomach growls mostly at night..drives me batty!!:) Every now and then I have restriction and do the "urp" thing. I'm so confused!:cursing: I can't wait until next month when I get fill #2, maybe then my sometime restriction will be more consistant.

I was banded on 3/17/10 and my second fill 5/20/10 and now have 3 cc's in a 10 cc band. Still not feeling much restriction, but I continue to lose about a one pound a week. I'm just happy I'm losing without much effort. I know I am eating considerably less then before banding. So consider each pound a blessing. Down 22 lbs since banding.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
