By full i mean no longer hungry not stuffed to my limit

Its suppose to help you feel full and feel full longer with little food. I know what the band is suppose to do i did a lot of research.

I git my second fill this weds the day of i had some tuna a small can took 45 mins to eat. Cool. The next day took some small bites of fish.. nope bathroom. I cant even eat any jello. Makes me want to run to the bathroom. Yogart i was only able to eat 3oz. And still want to go to the bathroom. My dr put 2.5ccs for my second fill. Plus my first was 1.5ccs i have lost 5 lbs since wed, this is friday. Good for the scale bad for my chest(the paon it is causing) and for my diet. Did i get too much? Or am i just not used to it yet?

Thanks for the advice. Actually now tjat a week has past i am able to eat alittle me slowly i bave been able to eat soups yogart alittle bit here and there of fish i think i just needed a few extra mushie/liquid days to adjust. Althpugh i was loosing weight when i wasnt able to eat anything i am now going back up. I dont understand this. I have been eating a lot of vegs and def not eating more then a cup prob like 1/2 cup but I'm going up!?

Frozen yogart feels so good. I eat it all the time especially now I'm too tight so i just eat frozen yogart, yogart, pudding, and a small can of tuna and about 45 mins

I think thays what i need to do. I throw everything up. I jist got my second fill wed and i can only keep ice cream and pudding down. No soups, no yogarts, not even a milk shake. Everything gets stuck and it hurts so bad! But i have lost 5 lbs since wed and i want that to keep going... idk what do to

I can only seem to keep ice cream and pudding down! I tried soup with veg and they were so soft they melted in my mouth and i still couldnt keep it down.

It actually took me 45 mins to eat a little can of tuna. But i def have been taking tiny bites. It hurts so bad. The pain is unbe after i eat anything.

Do you eat things you shouldnt, ex: bread pasta rice, and still lose weight? Obviously not a whole lot but you really cant get away from these things... i get a veg and chicken bowl and it comes with rice.. or a chicken sandwhich and obviously bread. Sometimes i will either skip it all together or eat a little but I'm not very restricted so i kinda feel like its not taking away from anything...

I tried eating a doughnut and i about died! It hurt sooo bad!!

JUst like f1srborn said it fills you up and doeant do anything for you but you cant stay away from it lol uts everywhere!! I def havent soda except a sip of my hubbys when he gets one every now and then. I'm just tired of everyone saying you cant eat that or you shouldnt eat this and its like what are tou the food moniter??

Wow good job! So far i have only lost my pre op diet weight of 22lbs.. although I'm very upset i couldnt loose that without getting ready to get the band. I am not excersizing yet so i have a few hills to geg over but whatever your doing keep it up!! Wonderful work.

Well my orginal dr told me not to. I guess bc of the expansion of those types of foods. I'm not sure all i know is he told me not to. My new dr doesnt say much about what I'm earing morw about how much. Although he prefers fruits and vegs(what dr doesnt lol) but i get a rash of crap for having like a beagal although i only eat one side, or a roll, ect. I know its loaded carbs but i dont eat much through out the day..

I had to have my first fill under an xray i guess my port is kinda side ways... it sucks only bc the hospital is so far away and i need to wait for an approval from my insurance. My dr says it happens more then often especially with the first few fills till you loose some fat on the belly

I am in the same boat i lost 22 lbs before surgery and then i gained like 2lbs before i got my forst fill bc it took my dr 2 months to do it! But after my fill which i got july 2 i have only lost 2 lbs. I can eat most days alittle more then a cup but i dont eat a lot. Sometimea when i attempt to eat like just now (bc its morning) i took two bites and I'm too tight right now to even eat. So its not like I'm eating too much. I havent been able to really excersize since but i do try to get in some walking at work. I'm assuming thats why I'm not really going anywherw

Ok so after i got my first fill about 2 weeks after every time i start to eat anything i have a sharp pain in the top of my stomach almost like a stuck feeling, when i get up to try to walk it off i find myself walking straight to the bathroom and throwing up, well more like just comes up without the heeving but its thick spit! It seems to always be clear. After i get that out of my stomach i am good to continue to eat with no prob. Anyone else have or had this problem. Or any suggestions on how to stop this?

Oh ok thanks!

After my surgery with a cathader(sorry for my spelling) i had crazy itching and swelling, and bc of the itching i bled. It has gotten better now after 6 weeks. I read you can get an infection from a cathader very easy. Now certain toilet papers will trigger the itching but i solve that with paying alil more for my t.p. let me know what you find out

2 weeks ago i went for my first fill and the new dr; bc my original dr opened his own thing and my insurance wont cover me to move or something) i saw didnt do fills till 6 weeks and they scheduled for 4( theres another post about that) so long story short i obviously didnt get it. Then today was my second attempt to get my first fill again... well the dr put the needle in and fished around for a few mins and couldnt get to the port bc it is too deep? So now i have to go to the hospital to do an xray fill. Well first off they have to get an approval from my insurance THEN schedule the appointment. Thats going to be at least another week! I have gained 3lbs since i have been on reg foods. The hospital is like 45 miles away! I know its not the dr fault this time but wouldnt you think they should have longer needles if, as he said "it happens more then often", instead of having to send me or other ppl to the hospital?? Im not happy at all!!

He made me crunch alittle but he was taking so long i couldnt hold it any longer. Well the upside is good to know i was worried about my port sticking out later lol

That what i try to do is take a few sips if i need too.. which i always do lol.

I feel fatter... im getting my first fill and i have only lost 22lbs and have gained 2 back. (i say only?? I couldnt have lost even that on my own) but some days even being the same weight i feel alot skinnier then i really am... im tired of these mind games. I look at myself naked and i feel right back to 287lbs instead of 267.

For one i am having the hardest time not drinking while i eat. Who doesnt need a drink after or while eating?? Second i dont understand either. Im thinking the same exact thing you are!

Wow i was thinking to myself i wonder what the men talk about in this section. First i saw something about their penis being larger now this lmao. Well while im here i had a bf who T.S on me and it felt bomb. Its such a different/good feeling. As far is anal did not like that. It hurt and he was small so i could only imagine someone bigger. After about 5 mins of anal it cam get pleasurable but until then ouch. Men complain women arent forward enough(found in another thread) but men arent either, at least here.

I heard some ppl feel swollen and alot of like pressure/pain after a fill and not to plan to do anything for a few days. But i havent had any real problems with my band so far
