Going into week 4 and do fine eating. I notice when I eat too fast I get very uncomfortable. I am practicing eating slower and waiting to drink after each meal. I get the hiccups every once in awhile during meals and I never used to. Anyone else getting hiccups? All in all doing real good on low carb diet every meal.

I kind of wish for the uncomfortable as I seem to eat whatever and it's ok. Just dry chicken has caused a little uncomfortable. I even can not chew to well but trying to remember but catching myself . I get the hiccups to sometimes. It's like one not constant when you get normal hiccups at least for me. I'm trying to stick to the high Protein and feel much better when on high Protein diet. Glad you are doing well.

Well it makes me not feel so bad to see others sturggling with the scale. It just is driving me nuts as I'm eating so cleanly and even really picking up the exercise. I'm not sure how the body holds on but it's got to give up sometime!

I have never got plugged and coughed anything back up. Hiccups definitely happens when I eat too fast or am full, haven't really figured that out yet.

Hey team,

Haven't checked-in in a while but i am doing good. Week 3 for me was a steady week not much loss after the initial but in the last week I have lost 8 mor lbs and I am doing nothing different. I guess it does begin to balance out. I have the same appetite (not really hungry) but I am trying hard to stay on the schedule and eat in intervals throughout the day. I find it really hard when I am work. Although I take my food with me just tqking the time to stop and eat gets tough.

I hope everyone else is doing well!!

Going into week 6 and just received my first fill of 3cc for a total of 5ccs. Put on liquids for 2 days, oh joy. My weight had actually stayed the same so I asked for a fill. I don't think my DR agreed but did it anyway. The only episodes I have had have been caused by eating too fast. I also could eat as much as I wanted so the band was doing nothing thus the fill. Will let everyone know how I progress.

How is everyone? Doing good, losing weight? Any issues.. We are all at the same surgery date.. My last Dr visit I had lost 16 lbs but some of that was due to being sick and didn't eat much that week. Losing weight is very slow currently and staying strictly on low carb diet.

Hi 4/20's and all. I've lost 21 but very slow. Feel no restriction at all. I think even less after first fill if that's even possible ! Next one should be next week so looking forward to it. I'm trying to stay on diet but definetly slip but trying to not just let the slips go into slides. Also got hurt working out 3 weeks ago but now at about 90% so looking forward to getting it going again. Funny before surgery guess skipped the bandster hell posts but totally get it now. I still believe this will help me it's just going to take time. Hope all are doing well.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
