Hello ladies. I was also banded in Dec of 07. I have lost 50lbs to date. I feel like it is coming off slowly but at least the scale is moving in the right direction. After my second fill 04/09/2008 I can’t really eat that much basically soft foods still almost 2 months later. Tired of feeling pain when food just sits in my chest. I guess that’s why a lot of the time I just opt no to eat at all. Any words of advice because I was under the impression that once you lose weight the band lets up some and allows you to eat? Any feedback would be appreciated.

Hot Dog Cerrin! Way to go! you are doing great :lol: I would wait for my anniversary date too to post my results . . . (except I was bad this month so it won't matter lol)

I go for a fill (I think) on Wednesday . . . maybe 1 cc or .5 cc . . .I've only got 1.5 from 1 fill now . . .but that will probably do me . . . I'm tighter in the mornings . . .

Monica . . .if you can only eat soft things, I'd ask my doc about that . . . maybe you are to tight? I can't really say because I haven't been there - but that was my first thought.

Monica, I would say your too tight. You may need just a bit taken out of your band. You should be able to eat solid food. It is unhealthy to not eat. Ask your doctor and make sure your getting enough calories and Protein in.

Chris, it is ok if we have a bad spell. We have the band to help up get back on track.

Some days I am tight in the morning and some days I am tight at night. It is so weird. The only time I know I will be tight is if I hang out with my friends somewhere. lol I am garanteed to PB lol

Since the very begining I've lost 69lbs. Since surgery its 33lbs. I'm having a great time with my band. I've had 4 fills and have hit a sweet spot. I manage two Protein Shakes a day (30 g each) and a sensible meal with maybe a snack in there somewhere. My meal is usually 3-4oz solid Protein and veggie/fruit.

Wow Chris, sorry Your not getting the fills you need. My dr is VERY agressive about fills. I am thankful to him he is. I think I am almost at my sweet spot.

Hi Everyone,

I am at 29 pounds total lost with 40.30 to go. It's definitely going slower than I would like, but I'm losing and I feel great!! I figure at this rate by my 1 year anniversary I will be where I want to be and Christmas will be a double blessing!!

Bah! I decided to vote anyway. I'm away on site on my bandiversary, so won't be able to get an official weigh in then anyway. Besides, I'm counting my loss from the start of my pre-op diet which began on 1st Dec, so it's really cheating to wait another 2 weeks to count the six month mark. I should be happy with the 47lb that showed on 1 June. Can't wait to find out if there's more though!

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
