I know we all want it to be working perfecty the day of surgery but it will need fills mine took 3 to fill anthing 6.5cc in a 10 cc bandso ityou feel more comfotable chewing gum might help is hard that first 2 mos just know its coming and you need to heal from the shock to your body and practice the diet so your body is use to it by the time you are in a green zone....

yep all part of the prossess rest and heal is the name of the game 4-6 wks

ever have a large pill fill like it didn't go all the way down? that's what it feels like for me it does get unstuck in time often standing up straight helps, waiting, or drinking something hot helps. It wont kill ya I worried more about not feeling any restriction and I would eat just as much as b4...just follow the rules and you will be fine...its doesn't happen often at least for me...

yep that's how it fills. I can eat just 1/2c on some days I love it. It feels like life should have felt like...

to big of bit does it to me.... your right it does take time to learn how it is for you....slow and steady

Iam betting on food being stuck and it is sore now...take it easy for a couple of day. feel better soon.

.gasx, heating pad, laxative and rest all help with the discomfort. Make your own chicken broth cambells has a lot of creamed soup with water..and all the drinks meantion earlier. Welcome to the club we are excited to have you here.

yes, honey there is more going on here then weight loss check into some help its never a waste of time or money good luck and thanks for sharing we have all seen ourself in your struggle..

you r still healing and there is a it of swelling so stick to the plan and be patient this is the hard part but you are doing great and slowly and surely wins the race. I thought I hadn't had any weight loss then I changed my battiers in the and 6 lbs feel off it as great.

yep its funny how soon we forget then the band lets us know. While you meal is heating up I have a drink, usually Snapple which I finish much later it helps get over that old habit of shoving it in....

wow thanks for sharing I am just starting but doing so well. I to read these to keep myself on track ....keep us posted

congrats...it is so worth it

I hope that is the answer feel better soon.......

Tummy for sure let hubby save money for your boob job...lol.....line dancer

I did to make my own before surgery and frozen them it was perfect for me. ...line dancer

sounds like you could use a fill you shouldn't be hungry so soon. I just hit the green spot and it is so different and I like it I pray it last a long time. take hard boiled eggs with you to work and track your food so you know how much ore you can eat if you need more. Getting hungry and not eating on time is how we got here so we need to change everything. We need to put ourselves first at meal time. Getting up 15 mintues earlier might be the answer only you know that......this takes work.....line dancer

I ve never heard that wounder what this is about. line dancer

banded 8/20 with a 10cc band had my 3rd fill for a total of 6.5 and it seems perfect now. I am never hungry but eat at the proper time. So much easier to stay on track who a great thing they came up with to help us Good luck with your fills and your great success.....line dancer

boy I just hit it at least for now..i am not hungry at all but eat on time its a great place to be. the fact your are asking you are not there yet. This is where the band is working its best and giving you that added support we all hoped it would............line dancer

good job glad the bulb came on early. you will do it.....line dancer

bi-polar here also never entered the equation you'll make it just hang in there....line dancer

I am going to do my usual but just enough for dinner no or very little left overs. I will also take small portions....we never did much pies so I am good........line dancer

900-1200 a day for me and I track everything...its easier when the band is at the right fill leave for u I can really do it no with this last fill...but its work like learning anything new....line dancer

when I got enough in my band it really helped but like anything else you have to work at it and stay on track. Get rid of anything in your house that you eat to much off and fill it with the best of food.track everything and come to the chat room daily to share and get a boost.....good luck you can do it................line dancer

banded Aug 20 and lost 34 lbs once I got enough in my band its was easier to stay on point this was the best thing I did. I feel so much better do it and stop thinking about it.................line dancerr
