Hello, I am from Texas, also. I was banded on 9/10/10. I had my first fill 10/5 4.5cc in an 11cc realize band. No restriction, yet. I am a little, no alot disappointed. Just have to be patient, I guess. I ate out today and was disappointed in the amount I ate. I am a little ahead of you maybe we can compare notes.

I am starting to starve!!! I had a few handfuls of MM's today...OOOPS. I chewed them to nothing though. I dont go for my first fill until 10/22. It took my sister 4 fills and almost 9.5cc to have restriction. I think everyone is just different! Hang in there!

Hi Ryanon. I also live in Texas (Bryan/College Station area). I was banded on 9/2/10 so I'm still learning also. Will be glad to be a friend to you.

Hi all. I am from the DFW area. I get banded on the 27. How is everyone doing?

Hey guys,

I'm from Texas also. I was banded march 16. I've lost 57 lbs. and I feel great. This band is worth every penny I've spent on it. At the beginning I was hungry - maybe the first 2 weeks. Then when I got on to mushies, I did all right. I have learned to listen to my stomach and not my eyes and head when it comes to food. Chewing thoroughly and sipping on water is very important. I do occasionally have ice cream or sweets, but after a while, I really didn't crave them. I try to eat my protein (meat) first, then veggies and if I am still hungry - fruit. But usually the meat is all I get through. You learn to use the band to your benefit and soon it begins to help you.

Good luck guys on your journey. Give me a holler if I can help anyone.
