Hey guys Im at 9.8 and i can still eat a burger and fries and put it down. I have been off of work so been laying on my ass for 6 months and put on some weight i lost. Anyone else pretty full on their band and can still eat a lot? I remeber the nurse telling me she was at like 6ccs and could only eat like 2 crackers and a small thing of tuna and be so full she couldnt move. I must have an iron stomach?? OR? Anyone else like me? Let me know.Thanks

Here is what I can eat from 8 ccs in my band with a 10 cc band.. 6 fish sticks piece of lemon herb fish 14 crackers piece of cheese chicken noodle Soup the whole can 4 sugar free popsicles 14 crackers with cheese. Is this too much you think?:help:

Can u tell a difference? http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c103/wadewells1/fat1.jpg http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c103/wadewells1/fat.jpg http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c103/wadewells1/amyme.jpg http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c103/wadewells1/mezach.jpg Down 40 pounds!

Hey all hope all is well! Wanted to say HEY!

I just had my first fill still dont feel that restricted. I dont wanna feel like i cant eat anything but i should feel a little more restricted. How many fills did it take to get you guys really restricted?:hungry:

Im scared to put my weight i lost back on before my fill any ideas? Im trying to get enough protein in but man IM Hungry and wanna eat eat!

Hey all! Almost a month out so far so good! Had a little spell the other night had hot sauce and my gas was built up in my band and so painful i went into shock! no more of that! My fill is July 30th and im ready since i have slowed in weight loss since i have started eating again. Went in and saw the doc and he showed me my band on the x ray monitor and made me drink some liquid and i watched it go down! It was so cool. Hope all is well!

I was doing well and got too cocky and was watching tv not paying attention and didnt chew my crackers good enough. I over stuffed myself! UGH ! That came up! NO MORE OF THAT!

Yes i so understand. I was sick of thinking about it and preparing for it mentally. I was lucky i got in 2 weeks after my first appt so that was good. But after is another set of worries and mental issues depression etc at first so it seems neverending! ITs hard enough having surgery and then u cant eat anything for 2 weeks after just liquids so your body has so much to adjust to. The 2 weeks has seemed like 4 months to me! I thought oh 2 weeks is nothing but it is when you are wanting that burger and fries or anything solid. I never knew soup could taste so good after being creative with it. This isnt easy but the benefits outweigh the bad parts of it. So hang in there!

You will like dr watkins he is very good. I had mine done on june 19th with him and been doing good. I start mushies on wed thank god. I thought i was gonna lose my mind with liquids! I cheated once but got right back on track. I was very depressed at first and still get that way when im feeling down and cant eat all that greasey food. Oh well life goes on. Hope all goes well.

Hey all was banded at NWWLS. They are all wonderful. Im 10 days out and im about to lose my mind with liquids! Only 4 days to go for mushies if i dont end up smacking someone first!

Sounds like someone needs a CHILL PILL! Maybe u need to eat! ha ha :confused:

Is it bad i mashed up a piece of fish and had it? It went down fine! I was so wanting something to chew!!

I SO FEEL YOU! Im on my 4th day and im a wreck! I miss my foods and IM SO SICK OF LIQUIDS i could scream. Im mentally drained! iM IN THE WORST MOOD! UGH! I WANNA THROW SOMETHING!
