Hello all! Just wanted to put my ten cents in! I got my second fill today I'm now up to 2.5 in an 10 cc band. I honestly feel the difference now. Didn't feel this way after the first fill so fingers crossed that in I'm the coveted green zone..!

I guess I will not know if I have restriction until I can actually eat again.. So maybe 3 days..

I certainly understand why his period is called bandster hell!! It's so easy to get discouraged..!

Thanks for the support! Fingers crossed!!!

Hopefully you will have restriction! That would be great to get it so early on. I needed 7 ccs in a 14 cc band to get restriction.

Prepare yourself to start an entirely new regimen if your fill works like my 5th and 6th fill did. Got my 6th fill last Friday and I do believe I'm entering the green zone and out of the green mile.

I don't get stuck like I did from fill 2-5. I seem to know when I should stop eating(not that I obeyed)(paid for it though). Satiety lasting longer. Hope this one works for you.

I hope so too! I know it may sound stupid but I honestly do not always know when I am full or satisfied with the band . Sounds weird but it's true.! Hopefully this is something that comes with experience .??

      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.

      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!!
