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.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
