im with you jfran good luck!

I think it comes more with weight loss than being banded

WOW well i havent ate the whole months and i am actually doing very well on it, I ve only been on it for three days and Ive lost 4 lbs! food is soo good but dont order the pastries for breakfast! YUCK... oh and it comes out to about $8.40 a day and i usually spend more than that on all my meals

I did have my first fill 1 cc but i can still eat the portion sizes - i think they are perfect for me and my band. Oh and as far as the vegitarian, nutrasystem also has a full vegi plan so they have everything for everyone, I hear the men's package is pretty great too

I was banded on 2/7 and i am only down 23 pounds and at a stand still! HELP!! I already had my fill of 1 cc and have to wait 4 more weeks! I dont want to be fat anymore!

Im doing great how about everyone else here?

I had my first fill last week and WOW I dont FEEL any different! I was so excited to start this journey that ive been waitingfor and I cant still eat the same amount of food! I just want to see the scale dropping rather than tutoring between the same 3 pounds like it has for the last 2 weeks! I know it takes times but NOW im nervous!

Thanks for the encouragment!! All of you!

I know I am not supposed to "feel" it but I really dont feel it, at least when i used to sleep on a certain side I could kind of feel it but that gave me the security that it was still in place. Now about 4 weeks out i am scared mine has slippped! I can eat like a horse - i am always hungry and now even when i eat I dont feel full at all. At this stage I should still some restriction even without a fill, shouldnt I? I mean the band is still around my stomach! My doctor also told me that at this stage I would NOT feel a slip at all and I really dont want to go runing to him for evey little thing, but has anyone else experienced this?? No restriction at alll- was scared they slipped but where fine? or the opposite? Please Help!

But it this normal and even after I eat I dont feel full??

I screammed and screamed "Im in so much pain" like for 10 minutes straight! thats the truth!

I would to know how to make this!!! if you dont mind that is

I dont have too much time to respond to this now - but the immediate answer is Not really! i only lost a few pounds and its not coming off anymore, also, i have NO restriction like I almost feel that i have a slipped band because of it.

Im on my mushie stage and my question is (In Theory) isnt everything you eat (correctly) turned into mushy food if chew enough times like we are supposed to? because I always chew all my food in "mush" before I swallow - I always have - something my grandfather taught me while I was growing up.

the thread is called Any younger bandsters? search for it and `youll find alot of info - im 21 too

This Is Not Really Too Much Of A "complication" But I Do Have A Small Piece Of Plastic Sticking Out Of One Of My Incisions - I Tihnk It May Be A Stich Except Its Clear - Kinda Like One Of Those Plastic Things For Tags On Clothing. Anyone Heard/had This? Its Really Annoying Because It Catches Onto My Clothing And It Pulls Which Then Hurts, Oddly Enough My Incision Are Perfect - Thin And I Never Had Any Brusing At All.

What Is Dh? Im Sure Once Someone Post The Answer Ill Say Duhh! But As For Now Im Clueless!!!

yeah mine didnt show up until about a week ago- i think it is a stich too put im definatley too scare to take care of it myself - im gonna give the ma call - thanks everyone i love LBT it makes you feel so less lonely!
