August Rush in bandland!

In regards to portion sizes at least for Protein I weigh everything. Even on a small plate sometimes 3 oz does not seem like a lot. Soooo I know if I was'nt weighing I would put way to much. You can get a nice digital scale for like $20 at Target or Walmart. I also use it to measure out 10 g of Cereal for my morning yoghurt.

That is what I was doing but then now I just am still hungry. I put a little on my plate will even wait it out then if I am still hungry I just get more. I am eating now probably as much as a "normal" person would eat without the band.

I don't understand this band:( Last month I had 4 cc's and I had GREAT restriction for 2 weeks then it started going away. Last week I had 1 more CC added to bring me to 5 CC's. I have no restriction at all:( I'm starving constantly. Is that normal?

[Beachbunny 5]

maybe restriction will come next week amanda.... i heard sometimes its a delayed reation. I don't go for my second fill till nov 5.

I hope so. In the meantime my dd is sick. Yesterday while we were eating lunch she threw up on the table. That definitely helped curb my appetite:(

Well I am going for a fill tomorrow and hopefully what happened last time does not happen again. I am really hoping that this fill does me justice. because I NEED it. Wish me luck. And How are you all doing?

Okay turns out my 2 little ones have Strep Throat. Now I'm running fever also so I'm off to the doc tomorrow morning. There are antibiotics we can swallow right? I mean I won't have to take nasty liquid stuff will I?

SPOIL: You should be able to swollow the pill. They are usually not that big.

mine all had the stomache flu this week 2 sons and hubby and surprisingly i didn't get it.

Sooo.... I went in for my fill today. Had a BETTER experience then the last time I went in there. BUT.. The Fluid that my doctor put in was not there. (The one from Mexico. If you remember fill center thought port was flipped so I flew back to Mexico but in reality it wasn't flipped the lady at the fill center just didn't push hard enough. Well today she got it. And used a different needle with NO PROBLEMS but the fluid the other doctor said was in there wasn't. So now I have to just watch and make sure it's not going bye bye's into my stomach. ) Life I tell ya lol.:thumbup:

I need a fill!! We have just been away on a road trip and i have been eating almost as much as before my band.I have no fill in my 10ml band. I have to have a fill under xray as my port is surrounded by Fluid and the doctor can't feel it properly. He is away for the next 3 weeks and doesn't want anyone else to do my fill so i have to wait till the 25th. I really need to get back on track, luckily we did lots of walking and climbing while away so i only put on 1 kilo (2.2lb) but now at home i will probably not be quite as active.

I am a bit worried about the port, as reading posts here, sometimes the port needs to be moved when a pocket of fluid forms (seroma i think it is called). Roll on the 25th.
