I got my first fill about 2 weeks ago at that time I did half to have my port fliped back over and stiched back down I have 6 cc in. A 14 cc band sometimes I'm fine and don't throw up and other times i do i think its cause I'm getting stuck I'm adhd and try to learn to pay attention to my eatting and I'm not masuring so I'm starting to wonder if that us part of it i have stoped losing weight when i was doing good but I'm recover from having my stomoch cut open for the second time any sugugest to help with portions and not throwing up

If I don't chew well and eat to fast I still throw up to this day. My surgery was December 2009 and I have had 4 unrelated surgeries since mostly orthopedic surgery which has slowed the process down for me due to less activity. At first I was very good about writing everything down and weighing and measuring everything then I slacked off I was able to maintain but not lose weight. A friend showed me this site (which has inspired me but also she turned me onto my fitness pal where you can customize your calories and grams of Protein ect. This has helped so much holding me accountable I weigh and measure everything! It aloes you to track fluids exercise as well. It is a great apt and lots of hamsters use it. At first I down loaded it and was busy and overwhelmed but once I started I was addicted! You can also scan barcodes and add your favorites easily. One feature I haven't used yet but plan to is the recipe part where you can add ingredients you use to make something and add #of servings and it will give you the nutrition information and calories per serving. Try it is a great tool! The good thing about the band is if you are having a hard time you still can always pick up where you left off but I was told that bypass patient loose weight rapidly but only have an 18 month window post op to loose. Best of luck to you don't be discouraged you just need to really weight, measure and track food to see what your intake really is and by doing that chewing slowly Mabey putting yyour fork down between bites to slow you down exercise and you'll do just fine.
