I just went in for my 3rd fill yesterday. I recived 1 1/4 cc biggest fill ever had .... I am on all liquids yesterday and today. I cant get any more then 6 oz of my protien shake. I get bloated . i tried a jello cup 3 bites and I was so full and it holds me for 6 hrs....so as calorie intake is less then 200 for today and yesterday.....??? i cant drink water between meals because I am soo full ,what if i get dehyrated?? any one else go thru this? am I too tight? wait a few days see what happens ? Thanks ! Amy

well I am up 217 but i am ok with that last year at this time i was 287.5 so looking back I am a very happy girl !! i did get some exercise in but working in the heat for 12 hrs a day was too much for me.... all in all Very Happy today !!! :D :D thaks larry for keeping the chart..... cya at the next challange Amy

has anyone thought about getting the lap band removed and going with the sleeve???? i am VERY happy with what the band has done for me,but... i get stuck episodes ALL the time for hrs at a time. i cant eat meat. All of my protien is coming from shakes and cheese sometimes beans.... i go to my Doctors appointment on wed and was going to bring this up to him. just trying to get some input first thanks, Amy

I LOVE this site!!!! ty all !!!!

Wow Great ideas....ty !!!! Im going to give the warm liquid a shot today

Thanks for the input. I think im going to stick wiith what I got. I havve to talk to the doc about being to tight.i dont belive I am because I have always had this problem with meat n the band... Ty Amy

Amy checking in down 1•5 im not going to hit my goal but the scale is going down!!!

What was your size before the band? Details......how long have u had ur band?

Larry thats so funny u should share it with us on you tube!!! Your wl is awsome.... Have a safe trip

Wow...how do u get in so much protein

i think this is one of those things you have to try for your self to see what works. i am 7 months out and I tried what other people were doing and I found less then 1,000 I wouldnt lose anything... so i got it down to 1,200 and it works for me.... like I said everyone is diffrent ! most of my calories are in my protien shake in the am and then the rest of the day is light. i cant eat meat not my choice... so I have to drink my protien ... good luck and just try out diffrent calories and you will soon find what works for you ... Amy

Sorry im late been working 14 hr shifts n it helped down 2 lbs 217!!! Thanks Larry Amy

dr neff is thru kennedy I looked up docs in the area and then called and went to there meetings to hear about them and there staff. Dr neff was the only doc that i had a consult with that does his own fills and every appt you see him. I liked that . i didnt go to meet with dr goldstein only because i didnt want to use virtua ( my x's wife and family work there) didnt want any problems.... I dont know how your doc does things but some questions are 1) does he do before liquid diet, if so how long 2) what type of band is he using and how much does it hold 3) does he start out with fluid in the band and if so how much? 4) when does he do your first real fill? these are just some questions i found over the site and I used when i met with the doc so i knew... belive it or not i started with 1/2 cc in my band after surgery and lost quicker then some who went thru band hell.... that when after the surg you have no restriction because the doc wants you to heal up and so your just the same as you were before the surgery ... if you know in advance you can trick your brain !
