How are you doing going on Week 4 Monday? What are you eating? Are you trying real food yet? I have had a few little things but not bad. I seem to be doing well with my foods.. but can see that it is control, not the band that is working right now.. I could see eating the wrong things now if I dont stay on top of it.. anyone else think like me? I have not weighed again since my first Dr Visit.. I may weigh on Monday to see how I did 3 weeks down..

Well just wanted to say hello and hope you are all doing well..:tongue2:

Hello all!

I am still in Bandster HELL - going at it on will power alone. I am not losing any weight to my knowledge...I am refuisng to get on the scale right now. I was getting too frustrated with not seeing it move! My clothes feel about the same - I willl let that be the judge for now. I go in on the 15th to get a second fill. I am fortunate that my fills are done through flouro and my surgeon keeps filling until I have restriction (I thought I did for the first fill, as I didn't know what restriction was). I want it to be uber tight. I'm talking "eat 1/2 cup of food and feel stuffed" tight!

Let's keep this thread at the top, it's always fun to see how everyone is doing at the same stage! :biggrin:

Lexy you look marvelous.. Lets hope our next fill will do the trick.. I go for my third fill the 15th..

It is getting harder each day ..In my mind though I keep saying I don't want to hurt my band.. So I stick as best as I can to the routine..

I hate Bandster Hell ...

hey may 19th bandsters.. what is up..? I went for a fill today.. only 1 1/2 cc, I cant do more than that or I start the PBing right off.. this is the second time they had to take some out. and they always have a hard time finding my port, takes stick after stick after stick.. both times... I just hope this little bit helps me feel full again.. I dont go back until Nov 20th so I have a long time between.. hope all are doing well!!!

I have had 4 fills now and down 61 lbs since May 19th. I'm feeling absolutely wonderful. I go to the gym every day and once a week do a Zumba class (aerobics to latin music). So far I have not had any complications. I love Looosssiiieee!!! (named my band...lol) Hope everyone is doing well since surgery. Would love to see how everyone is doing with their weight loss. Keep on truckin!!

Hey anyone having trouble with hair loss ?? I am and hope it ends real soon .. I am watching my protein but need to step it up a notch..

Take care my buddies and keep posting :thumbup:

Hello Everyone,

All is going well now that I had the 1cc removed on 12/22 it was tough going there for a month between 11/24 and 12/24 I was thankful when I had the 1cc removed I can now eat and drink Water which was a struggle- I am loving the -56 pounds I have so much more energy-

this was truly one of the best decisions I have ever made even when things were hard I would never go back to the way I was.

Keep up the good fight my fellow may bansters.
