I am the same and I do not have any saline in my band. My doc said she has had a couple of people that never need a fill because the presence of the band is enough.

Ange That is awesome! See all of a sudden proof goes the weight.

I want to: -look better than the other women at my 20th high school reunion. -not be tired all the time. -rock leggings -put on a swimming suit and not want to hide -get my sex drive back -wear single digits -run without my fat jiggling in pain!

You can really tell! Keep it up looking good.

How are you? Are you having any issues? I am down 21 lbs in 6 weeks. It is great. My goal is to be at 155 by the end of Sept. That means I have 4 lbs to go.

I have noticed this as well. I didn't have it before. I think it is because I cannot drink as much Water and my mouth is dry.

I hadn't heard that about the vitamins but I will switch and take them with meals. With the people that had to change their hair, did you have to cut it short or just restyle?

Lol I won't but but if I did maybe they can move it to the top of my head.

I had the same issue about chugging water and I cannot do it anymore. Immediately post op they have you drink an ounce every 15 min. I cannot get in 64 oz a day. Then with all the restriction of not drinking for 30-60 min after eating it is tough. I am about 6 weeks out and I can take a drink normally however I cannot chug. I 'oh .ldb encourage you to sip constantly when not eating and immediately after. Start when you get up and keep at it all day. Let me if you need a buddy or if I can help answer any other questions! Good luck.

This is my biggest fear as well. I started using rogaine for women now so that if it does fall out then hopefully I should have more growing.

I had band regret for the first week. Then I started to feel better and now life is good. You just had major surgery and life will get better. Take your pain medication routinely, walk, and rest.

Has anyone really struggled after surgery going back to work? I am having a hard time. I am exhausted and feel like I can't work like I used to.

I did stay home today. I needed it. I am 5 weeks out from surgery and thought that In regards to work and energy I would be better. I'm just disappointed.

I am. I take 2 Multivitamins a day, Iron, b12, Biotin and I eat at least 60 grams Protein a day. I track everything I eat and make good choices. I used to work 60-70 hours week. I was tired but it was no big deal. Now this is my first week back and I had to call I today because I'm worn out. I will have only worked about 35 hours this week. I don't know what to do. Stress affects me more now because I cannot turn to food. Ugh. What to do.

Once you hit your sweet spot. You will be dropping again like crazy. I wanted to just keep losing at the rate I was but it has obviously slowed down. I get a fill tomorrow. I hope it helps.

My boss freaked out when hr told him I was applying for other jobs. He thinks he can fix the issues but I'm going to keep looking. God will get me to where I will be fruitful in every aspect of my life. Thank you all for your kindness.

It was awful today. I realized I need a new job so I started filling out apps tonight. I haven't had a headache or heartburn since surgery. Went back to work and in 1 day I had headache and heartburn in 2 hours. Ugh. I feel terrible.

I did liquids 24 hours before surgery and had to do a bowel prep. I was glad that the preop diet was short. I was clear liquid out 48 hours after surgery. I was never so glad to eat cream of wheat! Let me know if you have any other questions or want to be band buddies.

None. I had surgery the 6 th of Aug and am supposed to go for my first fill Friday but don't think I need it. I was told to eat if I'm hungry but don't if I'm not. Doctor said it may only be a couple of bites. I usually get 1/2 cup three times a day. I was worried about the Protein so I have been doing shakes and I have lost 20 lbs since surgery. It's working. I'm going to start exercising this week so may need to increase protein to like 70 grams a day. I don't want to lose my lean muscle.
