Recommended Posts

I got my second fill yesterday and I can really tell a difference. I haven't lost anything in 2 months and it's been such a struggle to keep off what I lost during my 4 weeks on the post op liquid diet. I had to be on liquids for 24 hours but I wasn't hungry at all. I just ate a tiny bit of dinner and had to give the rest of it to the dog. I could tell if I ate one more bite I would pb.

I really hope I start losing now!

don't feel bad baby got back...we are the same. We started about the same time lost about the same and going to the second fill the same time. I too have been at a stand still, i can eat much more now although a lot less than before the band. I have not lost since the second week of my first fill. lost 10 pounds with the fill. I go this Friday for my second fill, this one under fluro. The doc put in 2.3 last time no fluro. Sorry i haven't written much i live in the Costa Rica jungle and my Internet (sat) goes down when we get rains, and this Si the season for it. I don't want to see you discouraged you are such an inspiration to everyone on this list me included. You have a wonderful giving way about you and I am happy you are with me in this struggle to be thin. Stay happy...and persevere...

I am so happy to meet you!!! I went for my 2nd fill today and have 2.4 cc's now. I had 1.2 cc's. I was able to eat, but very little. I had a piece of toast after the fill and took it good. Dr. Romero had me eat some carne asada before at a local place before I went home. I had a small cup of Beans for dinner and was FULL.

They do all of there fills under fluero. I had 1.2 cc's and he pulled out a full 1.2 cc's so I kept the whole amount that was put in.

Thanks for encouraging me!:biggrin1:

Please let me know how it goes with you.

I love to have buddies to lose weight with and keep me going, accountable, etc.

Keep in touch!!! babygotback

Toqu please let me know how the quickslim 30 works for you. Is it an appetitie supressant or is it supposed to speed up the metabolism

Mini Pearl I am here. I am hoping to start losing now that I have a new fill.

I have lost 3 lbs this week after not losing for 2 months. I am really afraid that will be all I will lose until I get another fill. The first couple of days, I could hardly eat anything. Now it feels back to normal.

MiniPearl, I was wondering the same thing. I love the support I see on this thread but maybe the good weather is in some of these towns (not mine) and they are out jogging or walking like you and I will when our time comes. Which isn't soon enough.!!!!

I have a BMI of about 34. I'm 5'3" and 190. I"m getting banded by Dr. Ortiz in May. How did it go for you? I am scared but I can't wait. I've been starving myself for so long. I can't wait to finally feel full.

Hi Johanna and everybody else :-)

My surgery is booked for June 1st... still seems like ages away but from what I've read here it will be worth the wait!

I started on my pre-op diet 2 weeks ago today and man it's been hard! I kind of wish that I hadn't started it so far out but there's no turning back now. I sometimes think I started it as I feel a bit guilty for getting the surgery in the first place and want to lose as much as possible before the big day!

Look forward to reading how everyone is getting on :)

Hi- My BMI is 35 I'm 5'7 and my weight was 221 on the day of my surgery.

I was just banded on 04/09 and so far I have lost 10 lbs on the post op diet but I can't help thinking that as I add solid foods to my diet that I will stop loosing or even gain. Any advise on how to stay loosing?

CMarie -- I came here to post almost the same thing!! I was banded 4/4, weight at surgery was 212 and I"ve lost 9 pounds since then (in 12 days). It's kinda freakin' me out! I know it will come to a screeching halt but just wanted to check in to see of others in this range had the same experience! I have joined a gym and am committed to regular exercise, so I hope this is what keeps the scale moving!....but surely not at a pound a day!! LOL...Wouldn't THAT be nice?!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
