It's the time period between being banded and your first fill. It's when you are operating on sheer willpower.

The first fill is wonderful after going through bandster hell.

I was banded in Feb at baptist. I live in Maumelle. How's it going so far?

Need To Find A Doctor In Arkansas/missouri/ Or Oklahoma!
waterchick replied to wishuponastar's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I used Dr Baker. I'll have to check on his self pay price. He's great. -
So I hired a personal trainer once a week for the next six months to get me "into" my groove at the gym. Am I lazy for doing this? I just feel like I need a little extra push and accountability in the exercise department. The band pretty much takes care of the food department.

Banded Feb 20 in Little Rock by Dr Baker. I'm down 32 so far and I'm at 4.0 in a 10 band after three fills. Great to see people from Arkansas around. -

LOVE Mio. It has really helped me with the water intake challenge. The lemonade and blueberry lemonade are great. If you want caffiene them the black cherry is awesome. I have it in the mornings in place of coffee. -

UHC here. I had to pay 135 for protein shakes. That's it. I'm three fills in so far. Sooo blessed and I'm very happy I did it. -
I've been in 6weeks after surgery for the first fill and every 4 weeks after that.

Corn, red potatoes, Yukon gold potatoes, russet potatoes, purple potatoes, sweet potatoes, cherry, grape, and traveler tomatoes, strawberries, cantaloupe, watermelon, zucchini, yellow squash, cucumbers, and 6 types of pumpkins. Oh and sunflowers. Lol -
I got my third fill last Thursday. Woohoo I have restriction. I have had to slow waaaay down eating and my portions are half. I'm only at 4.6 in a 10 band but boy do I feel it now.
-
My doctor actually warned me in my preop visit that I would have some show up after weight loss. I'm glad he covered everything before I took the plunge. Apparently they are already there but will be more noticeable after you lose weight.

Banded 2/20. Very little restriction at 3cc. I get my third fill on 6/1. Ive lost 29 lbs and several inches. Kind of at a plateau right now. Hopefully the next fill will get me to green. Til then... White knuckle bandster hell diet. Woohoo! -
Hi there. My band date was 4/20/12. I live in Arkansas and I'm 37. I've got three kids and a wonderful husband. I've lost 29 lbs so far but not much restriction yet. Only at 3cc but I get another fill on June 1st.

Mio Energy is good. I like the black cherry flavor.

Ice chips were my friend. And make sure you fill your pain meds. Maybe you can sleep the whole way back. Make sure you stop and walk. Best wishes. I'm in LR if you have any questions. -

To Those Of You Who Say You Don't Have Time For Exercise...
waterchick replied to Violet953's topic in Fitness & Exercise
Drop it already! Wow I'm in Junior High. My momma always told me "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say it at all.". The negative comments have no place here. Everyone here is looking for encouragement. And while you are at it, stop being soo judgmental. Everyone here has flaws. Please think before you type 99wpm. Have a great day!
