Wear your Passion

Thanks so much for the feed back I am going to keep trying to take small bites and chew and chew more!!!

Haveing some problems and not sure what to think or what i should do next so if anyone has had these problems I would love to get some advice...I have 5.5 cc in my 11cc band right now I have problems eating the healthy food, like things get stuck I get horrible chest pains and it feels like i am haveing a heart attack. The mushy foods and soups seem to be just fine and I feel like I dont get full at all?? I can eat cottage cheese and yogurt and want way more then I should eat. I try chicken or pork and take the small bites and then i am fine for a few bites and then it starts the pain and sometimes even vomit?? SO when I go back to the doctor do i get unfilled or more fill?? Am i supposed to be feeling this way?? Should I just stick to the soft foods?? My doctor is great and is willing to help and wants me to succeed and so do I but I would love to hear from others that maybe have had some of these problems and maybe a little advice on what my next steps should be....Oh and yes I am looseing weight maybe not really fast but its comming off I work out at least 4 times a week too. I am about 4 months out of surgery. Thanks for listening!!

Great job to you!!!

Went for my first fill this week all went well but I feel the same?? I have 3CC's in my band they said they left 2 CC's in at surgery and put 1 in on Thursday, I am wondering how much needs to be in there till I feel that restriction?? People say this is Bandster Hell time but how long does it take....I lost 6lbs in 2 weeks so the Dr said um maybe you dont need a fill but I said its been alot of will power and long work outs I can definitly still eat!!! Thanks for the help from everyone!

Awesome great job to you!! My weight loss is really slow too, I am going to do the shakes as much as I thought I hated them but i lost a good amount of weight so im going to do that before my fill on Thursday, wish me luck!! Keep us posted on how it goes with your fill Im excieted for mine and really hope I can get some restriction. Take Care!

Only 46 lbs....Um hello 46 lbs thats awesome!!! I am so excieted for you I cant wait till I can tell you that I am so excieted too and get a fill!!

I was banded 10/7 and I am eating soft foods I did pretty well too kind of sounds like you. Yep I too have that strange port feeling sometimes even still have it, they say they stretch your muscel to attach the port so thats what the discomfort is, its much better then what it was I understand completely. The hunger feeling yep I am the same way too no full feeling at all I am getting filled on 11/10 and sure hope it gets better but they say it ussally takes 4 times to get to that full spot. Good Luck and keep in touch we are all in this together.

I go for my first fill on 11/10. I know they say it can take up to many fills before you get to your sweet spot and have that full feeling and that everyone is diffrent but how often can you get filled?? Do they make you wait a certain time frame and then if you want to be filled again you go back?

Wow really amazeing story I really hope I have that success too!!!

I was banded on 10/7 I went to my 2 week check up and he wouldnt fill me. He said I am still healing. I go back 11/10 and he said he would fill me then. Most drs I think wait 4-6 weeks depending how your surgery went and how your healing and tolerating food. Good Luck!!
