Hope your better now

I'm am officially now 6 weeks out an I had alot of the same feelings . I'm a big cooker for all my family an have the in laws over alot to eat so I know how hard this is an you ALL aren't alone in your feelings this is a process we all go through I have trouble not being able to taste the food that in serving that is frustrating to me, but you got to drill it in your head that you did this for a reason an it will be a mind over matter fight everyday because we are all used to our brain thinking one way about food an we are trying to change this. Food is an addiction an like a addict ( I'm guessing never had any addictions) I am learning everyday I can beat the battle, hang in there don't give up yet after day 3 it get better everyday

My nut told me the something about high calories and for a couple weeks this was all I wanted. Also if you have a Taco Bell in your area the pintoes and cheese are good and cheap

So glad this became a forum : I was banded April 2 an my port is doing the exact same thing as I loose so so glad I'm not alone an this is normal

This is one awesome story an goes to show that you never know someone's story or what that have been through. I to attend our hometown relay for life never have had cancer but just go an support friends am loved ones that are survivors. You are on a great journey now an God defiantly has had his hands one you. You have a nice looking family as well. I'm proud that your doing well now an looking more healthier.

I agree !! When I'm able to get on mine it's very much different than the mobile an btw ..... I enjoy reading your replies on different post

I had my first full couple weeks ago an it's didnt hurt at all just alittle poke feeling from the needle I wa very scared but it was a breeze, my doc use an X-ray when you drink the barium to see how much to put in I got 2cc so far I'm feeling pretty satisfied but everyone is very different I've lost 27 lbs since preop march 19th. No worries you will do fine . Hope this helped some

I was banded April 2 so I'm alittle ahead if some of you all an I am just say after reading alot of your post everything is very normal the way y'all are feeling. I at day 3 began dry heaving non stop everyone I lifted my head up or moved it was HORRIBLE an I honestly thought I wa dying nothing at all was coming up never have I experienced this. I called the doc an had to go in he had to remove some of the pre fluid that was in the band I had hernia repair an I guess it was all so swelled inside after this no more issues. I found the chewable gas x was better than the strips (just my opinion ) I am now with my fist fill which was 2cc an so far so good, hang in there things will get better I promise even though rigt now your probly wondering what on earth have I done to myself !!!

Hoping you all feel better real soon. Was banded april 2 an it seems like it has taken forever to get back to normal I'm almost there. Hang in there I promise everyday is better an better

Sounds like your right on track glad things are going ok for you

I am loosing an pretty much staying satisfied was. Banded April 2 so I am kinda wondering the same question if I really need another fill at this point.

I have heard so much about this on here can someone please explain what this is ? I couldn't find the meaning on the search part just that people have hit this stage on their journey. I was banded April 2 2013 an I have had one fill of 2cc so now I have 4cc in band. I watch my portions an stay pretty full for the most part. I am loosing I am proudly finally out if the 200's so also do I need another fill if I'm loosing? Have lost 27 lbs since march 19th. Hoping someone can explain to me an thanks so much in advance for any help!!

Thank you

Thank you !

Lol oooooh ok !! Well that was simply enough an I feel really kinda dumb for asking this now. Lol so I guess the question should be do I wait on another full beens I'm staying satisfied where I am with the hunger?

You look great!! Everyday gets better an better

I have saw your replies on many post on here an just want to say Congrats too you I know your very excited for your day to finally be here. You am your family will be in my thoughts an prayers tomorrow. Keep us all posted on your recovery an well pre wishes to you my friend !!!

Wow!! That's is so good you could fit 2 of you in those now. I too have packed away my outgrown clothes an it was really exciting as I hang on to everything

I am swelled today alot in the port area an very painful was banded April 2 thinking I just may have over done things. It's hard to except that you feel an look good on the outside but the inside isn't fully healed yet. Hoping an thinking this is all normal also

I was banded April 2 an got first fill this past Monday just wanted to share my success in hopes to encourage someone else. I'm unsure of the inches but the start weight was 225 now I'm 201. I can see a big change already.
