I have lost 21 pounds since the pre-op diet. I guess im doing good still. I also lost 4 pounds this week. I cant eat a whole lot but im starting to fill hungier. I just dont want to gain back what i lost. I still have my will power

Thats great. You do not need a fill. Keep those when you really need them. Your story sounds very similar to me. But im just now starting to get a little bit more appetiate

I will do that. Sometimes i can go 3-4 hours between a meal but other times it feels that im getting hungry sooner and i need a snack. I think im eating around a cup or cup in a half. If it does give me one it should be a small one, think thats all i neef righg now. Thanks

Ok me and my fiance was banded the same day. Today he got stuck i assume for the first time. He was eating a peanut butter sandwich. Im unsure if it was the bread or peanut butter. Any thoughts?

Thats great amount of weight to lose in 5 months. How you doing it? I myself havent lost that amount bug just got banded on may 9th.

They say just until you are satisfied, not until your full. Once thr hunger pain goes away then stop eating. I eat real slow and once the feeling of hunger goes away i stop and can go 3-4 hours not eating.

Well we normally toast are bread with no problems. He ate the bread untoasted with pb and his chest started hurting and took a bit to pass. He thinks he ate bread before not toasted and had no problems. I myself tried a toasted piece with pb and did fine. I guess people are different

How many people have restriction without any fills in there band. I was banded on May 9th and still do not have a appetite. I go for my first filk june 6th. Wondering if i really need it.

Thats why they say if you mess up dont beat yourself up. Climb back on that train. You are not the first to gain back some weight and wont be the last. Thats why most of us got the band because we had slips and some still do. Dont give up on yourself, you came to far. Good luck were all here for you

Me to. My back and left side has been killing me. Is this normal

He was my dr. I think he is great and strict but thats what some of us need. Lol

So far i think im one of the lucky ones. I do not have a fill yet until 2 weeks. I eat 3 meals a day and im eating from 700 to 900 calories a day. I can not eat more than what im doing because it fills me. This may change as time goes by im hoping not. Good luck everyone

That is great. Keep up the good work.

I would say if you can go 3-4 hours your doing great. I havent had a fill yet and it takes me that long to get hungry. I am eating around a cup of food right now and i feel good. All this might change later. Willpower has a lot to do with it

Im able to eat bread right now but i havent had a fill yet so well see

Sounds great everybody.

I was banded on May 9th,2012. Im looking for a band buddy to check in with daily to provide support for each other.

I went to the dr today for a follow up. I had told him that when I had surgery I had the gas in my shoulder and a few nights ago I was laying in bed and my shoulder started to hurt again but this time it went down my arm and caused tingling and numbness in my fingers. The dr said it must of been a panic attack but I don't believe that because it lasted for a few hours. He again like others said it wasn't band related. Has anyone had this problem, if so can you please share so that I know what to do

I went to the ER yesterday, everything is good on the heart and such. They don't really know what it is. So they assume a pinched nerve.

Look great

Gosh i havent had any problems yet but i dont have a fill yet either. This makes me scared to even try to eat that stuff. Im the type of person when i choked on a piece of bacon i was scared for months to eat large spoon fulls. I will really have to take it easy. Good luck everyone

You sure are doing good. Breakfast: 1egg with alittle cheese Lunch: 3 lite veianna sausages 1/2 cup cottage cheese Dinner: 1/2 cup chili Snacks: 2 sf popsicles I havent even had fill yet. I get my first one in 2 weeks. May not need it lol

Yes everyone is different. I have only lost 7 pounds and my fiancé lost 17 and we had surgery together. Yes you are healing right now so don't worry if no pounds come off. You actually start when u are on solids again. Good luck
