Nymphs - How many fills have you had?

[Sades 4]

I'm now up to 6.5cc in a 10cc band after my fill today. I had very little to eat all day and only started getting hungry around 5pm. I had 2 skim lattes, 1 Protein Shake and a banana until I got home at 6.30pm. I had a very small piece of corn on the cob, a cup of home made curried chicken & boiled rice. All went down fine. I hope this is the one. I was told to make another appointment just in case I need more.

I just had my first fill a week and a half ago. I go again at the end of February. It was noticeable and I began to loose weight again. I may need a little more. I have about 4.7 ccs in a 10 cc band.

Had my 2nd fill this morning and finally found out that I have a 4CC Band. I had 1cc put in with my first fill and not sure on the 2nd fill. I forgot to ask. I have lost 72lbs. since starting this journey. I had a new doctor do my fill; my doctor is really busy so I think they hired another doctor to help him. He was just as good as Dr. Lautz. He looked at my chart and stated that I have done a remarkable job. He did ask me if I thought I could go another month without a fill and I told him I needed enough to keep the edge off. I have been hungry between meals and have noticed that I can eat more than 1 to 1 1/2 cups of food at a sitting. He agreed that I have been losing more on willpower than restriction. This doc was from New Zealand and had a very cute accent.

Overall a great visit and the fact that I lost 12 lbs in 5 weeks made me very happy. Here is hoping that this fill helps with the hunger.

I just had my 6th fill. The nurse did a Fluid check and I wasn't nearly as full as I thought I was. I was told at the last fill mid January that I was at 7.5 in my 10 cc band. Nope. With the fill she gave me today, I am at 7.4 cc. Oh well. I am apparently loosing at a rate of 2.45 pounds per week according to their charts. Their scales weigh a good 7 pounds heavier than mine at home. Since I started with mine, I go by my scales.< /p>

I'm not at the sweet spot yet. I walk and do floor excercises about four or five times per week and try to stay within the 1200 calories. Since I eat out at lunch, I've probably gone over the 1200 calories. Oh well. Onward and downward.

Take care.

I am truly struggling with hunger today and I am positive it's not just head hunger.

I ate Cereal ( Kashi Go Lean) for B'fast, had a bottle of Water in between because I was still hungry and I have been trying to hold off lunch as long as I can.

Well at least I know for sure I need more fill! One more week of waiting!

Hang in there Shortgal. It must get better.

second fill this friday. i have a 4cc band. right now iam just at 1cc

[shortgal 5]

Well I just called the Dr's office to move up my next appt. They were very understanding and I'm going in tomorrow!

I explained that I was hungry and afraid I was going to eat everything in my kitchen cabinet and undo all my hard work!

Wow, don't know why I was so worried about calling. Now I know I can at least get through the rest of the day, relatively well. Of course I am already counting down the time to my Atkins bar at 3:15! And it's two days of full liquids after a fill!

Good on you Shortgal, that's what I did. You know your body and should be able to make that decision. Keep us posted.

Shortgal,

I am glad you get to move up your fill appointment. It is such a great feeling to have restriction. You will get there soon hopefully tomorrow.

I have had 2 fills. I had 5cc the first and another 1.4 on Monday. I have a great restriction, not hungry at all.

Can someone tell me which thread is for the Valentine challenge? I can't remember and I want to update my progress...Thanks.

[shortgal 5]

The valentine challenge is labeled for each week, like week 4 was the last one and it's on the November 07 bandster page. tomorrow is the weigh in for week 5, so I'm sure you'll see a new thread labled, Valentine's Day challenge week 5.

Hollieberries ( Cindy) starts them, she's very organized!

Congratulations on your restriction! 5cc's in one fill?! Wow, I got 2cc's once all the rest have been 1cc, no wonder it's taking me awhile to get there.

[Goldie1109 0]

thanks so much for the quick reply, shortgal!! Yes, my doctor was very aggresive with the first fill. I am so glad he was. I could eat about a 1/4 cup after that and now I can eat only a few bites and be full all day. I have to force myself to remember to drink my water.. and get in my protein..

I've had two fills, 6ccs total, and my next fill is next Friday, if I have one. I'm doing pretty well on what I have -- no trouble eating anything but still losing and I'm not hungry. Guess we'll see how I feel next week and what my doctor thinks.

I've had 2 fills and I'm getting another one next Wednesday. I have some restriction, but I still can eat a little more than one cup and I can eat a whole bag of pop corn. I have 6CC in a 14CC band. My band is huge!
