How long do you do a liquid diet after you get a fill? Also do you then go from liquid to mushy and then solid? I've had 2 fills before but had to have an unfill. Tuesday I had a fill and currently have 2.5 cc. My doctor says liquids one day then strat to solids. Guess just wanting a little advice on what works for you because I'm still doing liquids. Concerned about moving too quickly and having to have an unfill again.

GNC Total Lean shakes are my favorite 25g protein. Come in chocolate, peanut butter/ chocolate, strawberry and vanilla. I love the chocolate. Good luck with finding your fav : )

Congrats! Isnt it a great feeling to accomplish something u have worked so hard for? Keep up the great work!!!

I was banded in April and lot 55 lbs. I weighed myself for my this morning and didn't lose anything from last weeks weigh in. I was feeling upset but instead of eating whatever I could get my hands on I went to the gym. I completed an entire ActivTrax workout for the first time. Entire body workout with weights and 40 mins cardo. I struggled some but I did it and feeling pretty darn good!!!

Thank you I'm feeling proud : )

Has anyone experienced problem with dairy products after being banded? Seems lately when I drink milk I have horrible cramps in my stomach and chest. I'm taking small sips not sure if this is common.

I was banded 4/4/12. I had a fill Tuesday 2.5 cc. I tried mashed potatoes without milk and they actually stayed down. I think I'm going to say away from dairy for a few days and see if I can handle real food again. Thanks everyone : )

Not sure what's going on with me lately but I've always been a milk drinker and now can't handle any dairy products. Solid food has been a problem : (

Thanks I've been on liquids since Tuesday. I tried to eat 2 oz of ricotta cheese and nope came right back up. Not sure what's going on hopefully by next week I can go to mushy if not guess I'll be heading back to the dr. He said if I still had problems he wanted to have an upper GI down.

Way to go!! You look great!

Banded 4/4/12 lost 55 lbs so far. I have a lot more to lose but for the first time in a long time I am proud of myself!

First time I've Told my pre-surgery weight but here I go. April 4, 2012 I had surgery and weighed 307 lbs!!!! I weighed myself this morning and I now weigh 252 down 55. I'm aiming to lose 50 lbs more by April 2013. Goal weight is 170 but I want to give myself a realistic goal for my surgery anniversary. I still can't believe I let myself get that heavy but I'm proud that I made the choice to change my life. Excited about the future!!!!

Well I recently joined a gym and today I went to have my fitness assessment. I was doing great and here comes the part where I have to do a step test for 3 mins. The trainer was telling me not to stop and go faster well before I knew it I hit the floor and heard my knee pop. I only had 20 seconds left I was so embarrassed if I wasn't in pain I would of ran out. The trainer was very sweet about the whole thing but I am discouraged. I was banded April 4, 2012 and I know the journey has just begun but I can't imagine the workout part getting easier : (

It wasn't the trainers fault I am a very clumsy person and just missed the step. I'm still very sore and still but feeling a little better. Good news is that my assessment shows Needs Improvement not Poor not as bad as I thought it would be. Thanks for your words of encouragement : )

My Turning Points Unable to get off the floor without help, no energy all I wanted to do was sleep, my 4 year old son stopped asking me to play and when I asked him why he didn't and he said bc ur sick and tired mommy, unable to have another baby, and the tight size 26 pants. I'm ready to live my life again!!!!

A small bale of hay but 1 more pound and I'll lose an A/C lol

Thanks everyone knee feels a little bruised but hopefully I'll be good to go in a few days. I'm not giving up I've lost 54 lbs in less than 4 monts and have at least 70 more to go. Thanks again !!!

Wondering if anyone has tried Morning Star veggie burgers. Great source of protein and meat hasn't been the easiest for me to eat since I was banded. Just wondering if they are easy to eat with the band, don't want to waste more $$ on something else I can't eat

I tried the Asian patty and it tasted just like an Eggroll Yummy!! Also didn't have a problem keeping it down , thanks!

Thanks I have been Cooking different types of meat, different ways and nothing seems to work. I'm going get some tonight : )

I was banded April 4 ,2012 and I have lost 53 lbs. I had my band filled in June and it was too tight and I got very sick, threw up alot. I have fluid removed and now have 2.25 cc. I was able to eat chicken last week that I cooked in the crock pot and now i can hardly eat anything. Thinking I need to go back to the mushy stage again. Has this happened to anyone and does anyone have any advice or food ideas?? I'm concerned bc I threw up so much in June but my Dr didn't seem concerned at my last visit.

I was able to eat chicken last week. I think I might be worrying oo much, I tend to do that. I think I'm going to try the liquid diet and see if that helps. So i guess this is a normal thing to have no problems with a food and then have problems with them Thanks : )

Can it be any pineapple juice at any temp???

Call your doctor I've never had that happen r have heard of that happening after a fill!!!

I was banded April 4,2012 and I had the same feeling. I did and sometimes still do ask myself what was I thinking but I'm down 55 pounds and I haven't felt this good in forever. It's not easy, everyday is a challenge but it's worth it. Good luck !!!
