Hello fellow bandsters. Lately I have been trying to get back on track with eating and exercising. I can say that I have been successful. I think vacation and preparation for vacation had me in " dont care" mode. Since then I have been back on track. The scale read 234.8 this morning! That is about a 10lb loss post vacation. I have been working out 4-5 times per week and it feels great!! I'm also really trying to focus on my hunger level and how long it takes me to get hungry after eating. I have a fill appointment next week and I think I'm getting pretty close to the green zone. I definitely don't want to be overfilled. Everything pretty much goes down fine, even without me chewing it to mush. I can eat bread, steak, chicken...anything. I can also guzzle water. I do find that I'm tighter in the morning, but other than that, no problems. Right now I have 6cc's in a 10 cc band. I'm thinking maybe .25 would be good, but who knows since I have a delayed reaction to fills at times. I can eat a meal in less than 10 minutes, depending on what it is. What do you guys think? Do I need a fill?

I am 13 weeks post op and have not had any fills at all. I have lost 62 pounds so far and my doctor will not fill unless I stop losing weight. You mentioned some things that struck a discordant note to me: I NEVER eat bread (rarely, some toast) I chew everything to mush, I never guzzle water and most of all I never drink during the meal or for an hour afterwards. A meal should take 30-45 minutes. Please consider all of this. Just some suggestions for you.
