hi i had my 4th fill last week. my band now is 6cc out of 10 , my doctor told me no more fills. i am losing weight but very slowly . the 4th fill is rely make you feel restricted specially at the morning, and the doctor advise me to eat small meal , and when i am hungry i should start the meal with a little hot soup or drink to open the restriction

hi new thread for a new month with a new challenges :clap2: what is your goals for this month my goal is to exercise 13 times & drop off 15 lb :bandit

where are you December band ester ??? how is your diet , exercise ? are you losing weight ? how do you feel now after 3-4 month after surgery ? let us share our thought and experience so we can encourage each other :clap2:

hi all today i have my third fill .. only 1 cc . now i have a total of 5 cc on my 10 cc band the restriction is almost the same . but i feel like i am now controlling my diet . after almost a month i started to lose weight again :girl_hug: so be patient and you will lose the extra pound :clap2: have a nice day everybody

vlynnfogg .. thank for making the calorie things clear i used to consume 800 cal per day but the loosing stop for 2 weeks , then i raised my cal to 1000- 1200 each day and i start to lose again :eek: i am also not exercising enough .. i feel i can do more .

hi Steph .. yesterday i tried the orbit track ( i am not sure for the spilling ) it's like a bicycle and have a handle to exercise both upper and lower body . it's great but relay hard i survive only for 10 min and my plan is to reach 20 min after one week and so on up to 1 hour . sorry about the fill . but u have to control the amount of the food by our self until the fill is coming . i think after almost 3 month now i get used to the diet and i feel like may be i can continue the diet without thinking on the band so it will be your life style. thanks for the advise and have a nice day. ( wish me luck, i have exam tomorrow )

hi Gerbera .. congratulation for your fill .. for me the second fill was a lot of restriction in the beginning just like u, after about 1.5 week i was able to digest regular food again. now after 2.5 week i feel it become looser but may be because i ate slowly and small bite . i think all that is normal , my doctor told me that u will feel a lot of restriction this time. and i think the second fill is a great chance to lose weight again .

hi beth .. thank u for the advise and i will start tomorrow:embarassed: no no no i will start today :clap2: i am already had a bicycle and i hope that i will continue to do the workout at lest start . hi jaqui .. i was like u for about 2 months after the operation the it stop alone, i think it's because of the low Protein or the Vitamin specially vit E and Vit A i think u should ask your doctor about taking Vitamins or for other solution.

hi everyone .. what r u doing with the band, diet & exercise :kiss i am losing weight again after the second fill , but i have a huge problem .. which is i didn't do any exercise after the operation .. every day i want to start i said to my self " tomorrow " :faint: i have one of my friends , she did the band before about 2 years and lose a lot of wight , and she always told me " do not do my mistake, begin to workout " , she have a lot of skin fold . what i should do to start :cry

hello everyone .. how r u .. & how is the band .. i had my second fill 3 days before .. now i have 4 cc in the band .. i feel a lot of restriction more than ever specially in the morning .. but i feel happy about that because the hunger is gone .. and i finally stick to my food plan :hungry: .. and also I'm happy because the scale move again i hope that every body is having a great time .. baaay

hi everybody .. & how is your day i have a problem in the last week . i feel like i am sinking back in my old food habit . i was able to eat a lot of food .. may be i feel it like a huge amount because i have the band but still i am afraid because i feel hungry all the time .. my previous thought about food is coming back gradually .. i am miss my liquid stage :think also this week i have no weight change .. and i feel my body dose not change also .. my next fill after one week and i am afraid of weighting in front of the doctor .. i don not no what is going here but i feel its wrong and i don't know what to do.. every morning i decided to make commitment to the food plan , and in the afternoon i change the plan because i am hungry.. i feel like that i can not come back to the right track any body can understand ??? .. any body have an answer??

hisnhers ..hi.. well i try to lose weight faster by 800 cal only .. and the problem that i have that i didn't do any exercises until now .. so when i begin i will rise the limit up.. and about the fill for me i did it under fluoroscope so it was very easy & you feel the restriction more than now .. it is very helpful when you start to feel eating more than the acceptable amount. vlynnfogg ..hi.. :welcome:Water is very important for your kidneys you must adapt your self to drink 2 L each day .. try to Carry a large bottle of water with you all the time and drink it slowly .. you will get used to it . sirena63 .. hi.. i didn't fell the restriction as before but i am satisfied faster than before with about 1-1/2 cup .. but my fear is that i may slip back to my old eating habits .. so i try to make it work even the restriction is minimum
