    Don't fret! Seems like we are in the same boat! I haven't had a good fill until 2 weeks ago... I think i'm at a sweet spot now, but I really didn't feel any type of restriction until a few weeks ago. So my weight loss has been slower than average.

    You are doing FANTASTIC....i can honestly say my diet hasn't been the best, but my weight loss is slow and steady.

    BEVERAGES

    MsJeannetteA replied to bunnyluv37's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Vitamin Water Zero and Welch's Diet Black Cherry (only 10 cal per 8oz serving). Either of these you can find at a convenience store.

    Congrats! I know it was hard work and dedication.

    I'm a November Bandster as well, and i'm down 15 since surgery and 22 since pre-op. Not bad but not fantastic either. Hoping to hit that sweet spot, sooner or later.

    banded 11/17 only lost 13 lbs

    MsJeannetteA replied to txharley's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    When were you banded Mattie? From what i've been reading.. it doesn't seem to "kick in" until after 6 months. Right after i get my fill i'm good, but now that i'm coming towards a fill, it seems like i have to watch what i eat more than anything.

    Did you join a gym after banding?

    MsJeannetteA replied to Southern Leo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I had a gym membership for eons. But i'm making a more conscious effort to get in there at least 3 times a week and 1 day i take my Bollywood Funk dance class.

    Nov 2010 bandsters

    MsJeannetteA replied to vickieolv's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Seems like you are doing well. I was banded on 11/22 and had my 1st fill last month.

    Why am I losing weight?

    MsJeannetteA replied to christina353's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I had my 1st fill last month so i finally feel restriction. I'm down 22lbs since my pre-op diet. Good but not great. Throw in the holidays as a monkey wrench. I want to be down an additional 8 lbs by the end of January, for a total of 30 lbs.
  15. MsJeannetteA
    I didn't feel any restriction until my 1st fill. So yes until you get your 1st fill you will have less restriction. Just try to make smart choices in your meals. Once you get your fill it will be much easier.

    Those of you with a 10 cc band....

    MsJeannetteA replied to spoiltmom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I thought it was just me. I got my 1st fill today and it seems i'm more starving than anything. I know i'm supposed to have mostly liquids, but i had some Soup earlier (corn chowder w/small potatoes) because i needed something with more substance. Seems like i'm more hungrier post fill vs pre fill? Aint that just like my life!

    Those of you with a 10 cc band....

    MsJeannetteA replied to spoiltmom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I got my 1st fill today and they have me at 4cc's in a 10cc band. Right now i'm hungry and i'm eating semi-solids just so my hunger can go away. I think i'm going to be one of those people that need to be 80% restricted so i won't feel hungry.
  18. MsJeannetteA
    Had my 1st fill today and it wasn't that smooth. The doctor had to fiddle around with my port to make sure the needle went in.. so he poked me twice (ouch). Anyhoo... he gave me 4cc's in my 10cc band. I wanted more, but i understand why they are being gradual with it. The doctor said that by my 3rd or 4th fill, is where i'll have my "sweet spot", so i'm assuming the sweet spot is around the 6-8cc level.

    Calcium supplement

    MsJeannetteA replied to esv2000's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I like Viactiv...they are little chocolate candies.
  20. MsJeannetteA
    Did you feel pain afterwards near your port?
  21. MsJeannetteA

    So, here's the issue.....

    MsJeannetteA replied to gotmyeyeontheprize's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    That's too strict. I can have Milk and Pasta and Cheese.....

    Why am I losing weight?

    MsJeannetteA replied to christina353's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I can't wait for my 1st fill... I'm hungry and it's frustrating.. i want restriction!
  23. MsJeannetteA

    First Fill and so excited!

    MsJeannetteA replied to Sun Rae's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Ok, i'm at that hungry point... i'm trying to make sure i make good choices.. I just have another week and a half until I get my 1st fill...
  24. MsJeannetteA

    First Fill and so excited!

    MsJeannetteA replied to Sun Rae's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    That's awesome! I'm hoping for those type of results 2 months down the road. Right now i'm about at 9 days banded and i'm experiencing hunger . I won't get filled until 12/13. Before you got your 1st fill did you experience much hunger?
  25. MsJeannetteA

    Banded 11/18/10 and feeling regretful

    MsJeannetteA replied to LookatmeNow34's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Ditto... i'm needing some restriction in my life BAD... i get filled on 12/13 and i'm trying really hard to eat on plan, much like i did with my Pre-Op Diet. It's hard when you feel hungry like Pre-Band..
