Hi everyone

Feeling a bit down in the dumps today, had my first fill 3ml - last Monday, still dont have any restriction, and to prove it i ate chicken last night! with no trouble at all!!!

So I called the doctors office and they said it was quite normal and the next one in 2.5 wks time should make a difference. mmmmmm

I am stiil able to eat more food than i should as i keep feeling hungry and have now put 2 kgs back on.

Cheers

Caz

Just because you can eat chicken fine doesn't really mean anything. I've got 9.5 mls in my band after 3 fills and just getting restriction after the 2nd and 3rd one and can still eat chicken fine.

It can take several fills to get to that "sweet" spot where you have perfect restriction so don't be too disheartened. Just be aware of real hunger v head hunger. To be honest I'm rarely really hungry, mostly it's my head telling me its time to eat or hey - have some chocolate! Start practicing good eating techniques now (small bites, chewing well, 1 cup of food) so that when your restriction is on the money, it won't be a big transition.

Good luck!

I keep seeing post's like this and I'm worried that some people don't realize or the doctors aren't reiitrating that the band is only to "help" you loose the weight. It's not supposed to do it for you. Eating less and a well balanced diet is part of the whole process.

Exactly what I was thinking! Since when are we not supposed to be able to eat chicken? Sorry but we ARE supposed to be able to eat solid food, including chicken. Protein.. it's good for ya.

Same with complex carbs.

Same with veggies and fruits.

:biggrin:

I just lose my mind almost every day reading some posts.

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
