I feel a little restriction now at 5ccs in an 11cc band. I don't think I wanna be too much tighter after my next fill in September. I still want to enjoy my meals without being afraid to eat.

That's great!

Congrats and keep up the good work. Best wishes on your journey

Awesome! Way to go

When Was Your 1St Fill? How Much ? And In What Size Band? Effective?
lalaj replied to 2savemylife's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My 1st fill was 6 weeks after surgery. I had 3ccs put in while swallowing the white chalky substance under the X-ray machine. No restriction just swelling from the fill. I had to be on liquids for 2 days after. I also have an 11cc band. -
My most challenging meal of the day is lunch. I just never know what to eat. I usually eat a salad with grilled chicken breast strips, a Protein shake or leftovers from the night before(depending on what it was). I need some healthy/budget friendly ideas. Any suggestions would help. Thanks Lala

Treated For Depression/anixity Pre Op??
lalaj replied to gina418393's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
They won't deny you, they just want to make sure you are emotionally ready for the surgery and make sure you keep up with your meds. Good luck you'll be ok. By the way, I'm speaking from experience. I was on meds during my psyc eval. Best wishes -

I love chipotles. I usually get the veggie bowl. Haven't had one in a while. Enjoy! By the way, I've downloaded every restaurant nutrition facts that I enjoy. Even coffe shops. It's a great tool to have when you're unsure about the foods. Good luck and enjoy in moderation

Happened to me too after my 2nd fill but only once. Mines happened with some egg whites. I've been extra careful since. Just chew a lot and take small bites of food. Good luck. Hope it gets better

Every surgeon is different. My first fill was 3ccs and my second one was 2ccs. At my first fill, I definitely felt the coolness of the saline as he filled it. Quite weird. Good luck and best wishes

Knocking On Green's Door
lalaj replied to Babiecaykes's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I got my second fill 8/8/12 which put me at 5ccs in an 11cc band. The first two days I have to be on liquids then I can eat solids again. I definitely felt a difference after this adjustment. I cant say I'm in the "green zone" but I feel as though I'm close. I hope you are in that magic place and that is last very long for you. Best wishes. Lala
