I was banded 10/07/11 i have lost 20 pounds and i have had 2 fills yet i still feel no restriction. I go in on monday for another fill i think im gonna ask for 2cc more that will give me a total of 5cc in my 10cc band. Hows everyone else doing on their losses? An fills.

We can do this !

Hi Brandi,

I was banded 10/31/11 and have lost 25 lbs so far. I have 2.25cc in my 10cc band and have had 3 adjustments. Remember it’s slow and steady that wins this race.

I should also mention I’ve had 3 visits with my doctor’s personal trainer and have been exercising more than I ever have before. Of course I mean I’m exercising now, when I NEVER did before.

I also have a very healthy fear of messing up my inners, so I try my best to keep to the 4oz. portion size for each meal. I don’t think the 4 oz. portion fills me up but I do start to feel uncomfortable if I go over it. So I thinks that’s my version of “restriction”.

Hi yes me too, I have been walking more than ever I feel good about it I can walk 3miles now without any real problems. I still get winded though going up the steep hill.

An you have a good point I do need to work on measuring out my servings I eye ball them. Actually I want to take someones elses idea an buy a dessert plate to use for myself to help remind me. I am also historically a grazer I have been working really hard on that one, but since we are not supposed to chew gum this is a challenge for me.

but i love checking in on the boards and talking to people who are going through this too, no one i know is so I really dont share with them what its like.

thanks

Hi everyone! I was banded 10/14/11. Down aout 30 lbs so far. Feeling really good but having a hard time finding motivation to excersise. And I still struggling with wanting to eat at night.

Wow! It's been a while since anyone posted! I was banded 10/07/11 and am down 71lbs. After my last fill on 07/03/11 I lost 8lbs in one week and have been stuck there ever since! I have had 5 fills and am at 7cc's in my 10cc band. I don't eat very much at all. I think it's what I am choosing to eat lately. A lot of personal life stuff going on makes it harder, but I am pushing on! How is everyone else doing??
