I was banded on 5-15-08 by Dr Chris Dyas in Mobile. As of today I have lost 38 lbs. I have had one adjustment and I think it is time for another one. It is starting to take more to satisfy me so I know I need a fill. I am getting to the point where I need some new ideas on food and what and how much people are eating. I think I may not be eating enough calories. I am drinking anywhere from 70-80 ounces of water a day. Any advise will be great. Good luck to everyone being banded and congratulations to the ones already banded and doing well.:smile:

Hi!! Congratulations on your weight loss!!! I wish i had some good advice for you, but unfortunately, i have the same questions as you. I was banded on Jun 2, and i don't get my first fill until august 19th. My surgeon doesn't fill anyone until 12 weeks post op. So, i have a lot of hunger, but i'm so afraid of overeating, that i don't eat much, but stay hungry. I keep a diet diary, and most days i get about 500-600 calories in. I don't know if this is too much or not enough. I still have trouble getting all my fluids in. I feel like i'm sipping all day, but still don't quite get to 64oz. Well, nice to meet you and maybe we will get some answers :thumbup: Talk to you soon
