Glad to hear your bleeding is over with. That really was awful. I just got my first fill on Friday, 2 months after my banding. So for 3 days I was on shakes again and the weight comes off fast. Now until Thursday it's back to soft foods. Then Thursday, my birthday, I am on Stage 5 for life. Can't wait to have lobster again.My stomach never stops grumbling, especially when I go to bed at night. I don't dream of food anymore. My husband said to me today about taking small pieces of some of my favorite foods but I didn't do this to be bad.

I am going to try pizza this weekend. I do miss that a lot.

Stay positive and think thin!

That sounds awful. It so hard to stay focused when you are HUNGRY. I am so impressed with you for sharing all this and hanging in there. Hopefully the fill will do the trick.

Thanks for the support!! Today has been better, maybe because I got myself mentally focused once more and a job that is keeping me busy. I have to say overall that I am lucky that the weight came off so quickly, but then again its hard to accept a more normal reality once that happens.

dylanmiles23 - Have a great birthday!! Just think of the amazing things that will happen this year.

So glad you are doing better..I had my surgery august 24th and I went in last week for a fill and was sent straight to the hospital for emergency surgery. It all went fine but I am back on two weeks of liquid diet and I am so hungry. I understand how you feel I am finding things to do to pass the time but it was a set back. I will be back on treadmill tonight and try to lose weight but it has been rough..since the set back...I will now get my first fill on Oct. 24th and I am so ready..Good luck to you and wishing you all the best..
