Happy 62nd Birthday 060711!

Hi, I was banded June 3, 2011 and have lost 40 pounds. I have had 2 fills and my second fill has really restricted me. I have had quite a few episodes of hurting after eating solids and not being able to keep things down. I was fine before this last fill. I have had to relearn what I can eat and not eat all over again.I was able to eat meat before this fill and now I can barely get down fish or chicken. I am also not eating very much and not losing. It's so frustrating!

Hey everyone, its been 5 months, have lost 50 lbs, need to lose 20 more and feel a little frustrated because I'm feeling so restricted that I can't eat anything solid, but not losing weight. I DO lose weight , however, when I eat something high calorie that stays down, like ice cream. I know I can't live on ice cream alone, thats how I got fat in the first place. Any suggestions?

Have lost 50 lbs in 5 months, just 20 more to go!!

Two days post surgery, not as easy as I had hoped it would be. Ended up in ICUwith some complications/ O'm home now and am beginning to start my life (new). Good luck to both of us!

Good luck and I'll stop by to see how you are doing!

Hey DawnK, my surgery is scheduled tomorrow at 7:30 AM. I'm pretty sure I won't be getting much sleep tonight. Good luck with yours and let me know how it went.

LOL - you didn't give me a second to put in a picture. My lapband is scheduled for tomorrow morning. I'm excited and a little nervous. I want to get support because I know this isn't a panacea, its a tool and I take this very seriously.
