Thanks Labwalker, I'm beginning to get the hang of it. We're retraining our brains! @ Areomech, GL I hope all goes well! :-) You will prob get slight swelling once you get a fill so just be aware that what you feel initially may likely subside....I am beginning to understand "head hunger" and drink Water (45 min-hr after eating) everytime I "feel" the need to eat even after I've already eaten.(head hunger or boredom hunger) smh old habits die hard but I know it'll get easier as I get back into fun activities that once kept me busy and fit.

Just an update' date=' I regained control and lost the 4lbs plus 1lbs. I received my first fill yesterday 4/12/13 and that brings me to 4cc. I feel slight swelling but I'm hopeful that I will feel some restriction once it goes away. I will work my hardest to chg my poor old habits. I thank you all for your encouragement![/quote']

Way to go. I am still struggling with changing my poor habits. This is a life style change and it's going take time to adjust. I have to keep my head in check DAILY. IT DOES GET BETTER!!!!!!

Dont get discouraged! I didn't have success from my band until 9cc's. That's why its adjustable. Everyone is different. My fist 3 months I only lost 10 total. My 4th month after my 9cc fill, I lost 13 and I feel encouraged and fantastic! Keep at it, keep getting your fills! It works!!!!

I've been MIA, went back to work and have been running ragged ever since lol...I just got my second fill today bringing me to 5cc and -4lbs. The weight is coming off slowly but I'm on track. I am integrating more excercise and finding workout buddies. Haven't had time to log meals in the meal tracker but will try to get back on track with that...its just so tedious at times. Anyway thx for reading! :-)

      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
