Good start. Keep up the good work! Don't count on fills to do all the work.

Congrats on your progress. You rock it!

Welcome to bandster hell. Until you get a few fills, you may feel no restriction. This is perfectly normal. Stick to the alloted portion sizes and drink lots of fluids!

Maybe is you lowered your portion sizes you could eat on a more regular schedule.

Your feeling are normal. Best wishes, you will begin your new life soon!

My starving kids were from India too! LOL!

Stay away from bread!

Better safe than sorry!

Congratulations!

Call the doctor

Congrats on the surgery and wishing you every success!

All I can say is that my surgeon told me that flying would have no effect on my band because the cabin is pressurized to normal levels. I have flown many, many time with no problems. One suggestion is to take a bag of Protein powder with you on the plane and mix it with milk or Water. I have flown to and from Hawaii... it is 13 hours total, you cannot simply not eat for that long. At least I cannot with getting the shakes. Consider that doctors may be erring on the side of caution, but the physics does not add up.

I hear that's because you are always on! LOL! There have been some technical problems today, per Alex.

Drink lots more, at least 64 ounces of hydrating liquids daily. This does not include protein shakes.

Many here have lost over 100 pounds, CarolinaGirl, Missy to name two. I would look for a new surgeon. You should get what you want, unless they have valid medical reasons why you are not a good band candidate. Look for a surgeon that does Band with plication. I give similar results to Rny

I vote for sexy sundresses too!

You're too funny! You got me!

Congratulations!

Sounds normal, but Lortab will stop you up, try tylenol.

Sorry, I have the fitbit 1 and love it!

Touche!

Thank YOU so much! I should have known that!

I have been using it for about three weeks. I am consistently over on Protein and fat (cheese) and under on total calories. It keeps telling me I am going to shut down my metabolism. It causes me to eat at night just trying to get my calories above 1200 with my exercise and walking... 3+ miles per day, 6 days a week. HELP! I am actually gaining weight by counting this stuff. About to abandon all hope. I am up 4 pounds from my docs goal and cannot get below 183! What am I doing wrong?

Janet... not buying it! Looking good GF!

Thanks for the input. I think I need to call my nutritionist.
