please help me anybody that knows!!

Right on! I'm scheduled for next thurs.. it's weird though bc some days I can tell I'm hungry and others I can only get down like 2 shakes.. till maintence my reccomended calorie intake is 600-1000.. and unless I have a "drink" I'm still not even hitting 600 now.. I think it'll be easier when I get out of the mushy stage =)

That's pretty normal to be able to eat more one day than the next. Sometimes I think it's a mind thing. If I "think" about eating, then I want to. Other days I forget that I haven't eaten and have to make an effort to stop what I am doing to get something in my belly. I have noticed also that in the morning my band is tighter and I only have skim milk for breakfast, I don't even have a desire to eat until noon or after. Then late in the evening I have to be careful because I can eat more than I really should. For several months I counted calories...they were so minimal that I stopped. I just simply wasn't worried about it when I saw that I couldn't eat more than 1000 calories if I tried, but then I have never been a Starbucks fan, or a sugar freak, etc. My big bad was fried foods and mexican. Now I can't eat enough of that to make a difference in my weight loss. I can eat half of a kids meal anywhere and feel so satisfied. A kids meal at a steakhouse is 3 meals :w00t: My hubby loves that I am such a cheap date now, lol.

Soulsista, My first fill I believe was sometime in June and then my second was like July 16th and then my last one was August 27th and I am up to 5.66cc's. I think I could maybe use a little bit more but dr. says no more I am on a good pace....

Sooo got my first fill of 6cc's! So 7 cc's total... in a 14cc band.. so far I definetly feel "tight" and I'm burping a lot.. a lil discomfort but so far so good.. we'll see how this unfolds =)

Congrats Angela! Well I have an appt tom for my first fill tom and it's been 20 days since surgery.. I just don't know if I should do it or wait another week.. As I've started integrating mushies I have noticed I am getting hungry again.. vs. just being on pure liquids.. and now I was with Dr.Owens. ..

Another question.. what's your height and daily calories consumed?

I'm 5'9" and 237.5 lbs. I'm not sure what my caloric intake is now since i've been given permission to eat as a please.
