I'm the same way, with everything. I'm 10 weeks post op (I think), and was doing the same thing, went in for another fill today because I've been STARVING for about 2 weeks.

Your dr is ripping off the insurance companies and those who are self pay. My first fill was 5cc my second (today) was 2cc, I'm now at 7cc in an 11cc band, we'll see how that goes. I don't understand putting in 1/2 a cc at a time, that is a scam to me, sorry it took so many for you to finally get that restriction.

Add me to the PB craving. I've gotten better but for about 2 weeks 3 and 4 weeks post op I ate a spoonful of it every day,

I'm still belching a lot, nothing comes up with it but it does make me feel so much better.

I agree with all this.

The rice could be the issue and depending on the size of the antibiotic but it should have dissolved by now. You may be stuck, I'm not sure because I have never had this happen but if it isn't better in the morning call your dr and see what s/he says.

I was told to eat about the same amount. 3 to 4 oz of protein 1/2 cup of veggies and a 1/2 cup of starch if your still hungry.

I'm almost 7 weeks post op and still have port site pain, it isn't bad or constant but i sure know it is there. I was back to work 2 weeks after surgery, could have gone back sooner but didn't get to see the dr for my release until 2 weeks. If your pain is still bad enough to keep you home, you may want to call your dr.

Right now it will just be pure old fashion will power. Keeping reminding yourself how close you are to your goal and stop thinking that the band did it ALL. YOU did a lot of the work, you chose to eat well you chose to not eat around your band you chose to work hard, just keep doing that and you will do just fine until you can get refilled.

Congrats that is a nice big number.

I had a salad for lunch today didn't measure any of it, I made about 1/2 of what I would normally eat for lunch and ate most of it. I'm not going to measure my foods all the time. I might spot check here and there to keep my eyeballing on track but I can't see myself ever doing it daily.

I was told 1200 to 1500 calories a day. I actually stalled on my weightloss while I was only eating about 900 cals a day, once I was able to bump that up I started losing again. Weird I know.

Depends, I only had a Special K protein meal bar for breakfast and was starving about 3 1/2 hours later. Had about 3 oz of chicken and some 1/2 cup of green beans for lunch and that kept me going for about 6 hours. I need to get my head in line with my stomach more so than anything. I had my first fill on Monday and it seems to be really helping if I listen to my body and not my mind.

Non scale victory. Congrats, I was able to cross my legs the other day, it wasn't as comfortable as it should be but I could do it.

I was freaked out Monday, I terrified of needles so I was really nervous, that and my port site was really sore that day for some reason. It didn't hurt real bad, it was a pinch and a little burn when he pulled the needle out. My anxiety was worse than the fill.
