I know this sounds stupid but i just got my 4th fill 2 days ago and had no different feeling. No restriction. I could eat anything as fast as I wanted to. Well I just got done eating 2 bites of ham and a string cheese and on my last bite I had this small uncomfy feeling in my chest for the 1st time. Is this the feeling of full? Or did I eat to fast?I hardly ate anything YAY. This band thing may work for me:)

LET ME EXPLAIN SOMETHING TO YOU. I EAT TOO FAST, TAKE BIG MOUTHFULS, AND DONT CHEW CHEW CHEW. BECAUSE OF THAT, MY BAND GETS FULL, NOT ME. I JUST CANT SEEM TO DO ALL THAT, SO I LIVE WITH THE FACT THAT I DONT GET THAT FULL, SATISFIED FEELING THAT YOURE SUPPOSED TO GET. IVE LOST ABOUT 85 POUNDS SO FAR IN ABOUT A YEAR AND LOOK AND FEEL GREAT. SO, IF U FOLLOW THE RULES, YOU WILL FEEEL "FULL AND SATISFIED" AND U WONT EXPERIENCE PAIN OR GETTING STUCK. HONESTLY, BECAUSE OF THE WAY I EAT, I RELY ON THE STUCK FACTOR. IT WORKS FOR ME. TO EACH HIS OWN. GOOD LUCK!:w00t:

Thanks guys. Im so happy Im getting restriction because I have been working my butt off and I want this band to chip in a little LOL. I feel my will power slipping and wanting to eat more so this thing working is a huge deal for me. I was about to give up but now with a little help from my friend ( the band) I think I can do this WHOOHOOO. I think I may have ate too fast for lunch but before this fill I could wolf the food down and no pain. So this fill must be it or at least close to my sweet spot. Its funny how you can give up on yourself and think nothing including surgery will work. I need some faith in this band.

I feel you, sister. I just got my 2nd fill this week and can DEFINITELY tell I have a band now. Unfortunately sesame crackers are going down like butter and stuff like ground turkey taco meat and (sigh) my Morningstar Farms faux sausage patties are laying heavy in my chest. I had my first :puke:PB today on a MSF sausage patty. I chewed it very well too.

I'm going to switch over to Protein shakes all day tomorrow and then switch over to mushies for a couple days before trying solids again.

      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!!
