Hi all how long did your first fill last? I had chicken and noodles today for lunch at noon and im still full. I had to wait 24 hrs before eating after fill was on liquids. I am still full I can't beleive it and this is what I needed. Im so happy now I also worked out today it was only 10 minutes, but hey it's better then nothing im just getting started. Just wanted to share this since I started off on the wrong path before.

Congratulations to you! I highly recommend you begin a daily exercise regimen that you will stick with and increase in duration each week.

I can totally feel the difference if I skip my morning workout. I feel like I am tired and dragging all day. On the days I work out I feel happy, bubbly and energetic.

Enjoy those chicken and noodles because once you have really good restriction you probably wont be able to eat the noodles. I can't eat Pasta, bread or rice at all without getting stuck.

I also want to lose 160 pounds and am now half way to goal in just 6 months. This has been an exciting 6 months though. I have proven to myself that I can and will get this weight off and have never been more determined. I can now shop in any clothing store and buy clothes that I like not because they fit. I started at 330 pounds and am now 250.

Best of luck to you,

Donna

Wow! Congrats! You're giving me hope!!! I am having a really bad week with hunger. I was banded a week after you, but not even scheduled for a fill yet. Have to meet with the doc on December 8 and from there he schedules the fill. I am so hungry right now and it's so hard to stay motivated when I feel like this.

Congrats on feeling full and hope the weight loss kicks in to high gear for you!!!

Yeah it was very hard for me at first I was eating anything while on mushy's I felt bad and like a faluire I thought it was all over for me. Now im on track working out and trying to eat healthier and less. I don't weigh my foods or anything cuz I have no time, but I make sure to eat less and now that I have my fill I can feel it when Im full and it last for a long time. I started out at 349 and lost 22lbs when I went to get my fill I had gained back 6 lbs, but they stated that was ok. I just started my workouts which are only about 15-20 min for now until I work my way up to 30 min 3 times a wk. so hopefully that 6lbs will come off and more to come. All I can say is this time im not giving up and going to keep moving forward it's hard as hell, but gotta do it as I am also in a wedding next yr july so I have to get this weight off me.

I got my first fill yesterday a well and I feel restirction as well. Excited lol

i was banded on oct 13 and go for my first fill dec 3. i get hungry alot, but try not to snack. i am stalled with losing and even gained a few back. but they are gone now. i hope i get restriction when i get my adjustment. i watched the adjustment videos on you tube. they were a bit scarey, but it will be worth it to get one step closer to my goal. 21 pounds gone and holding. good luck to you all.
