    Third Fill - tight

    the 4cc is a band size. The dr said w can put more in but I am at my sweet spot. Its hard to understand this because of years of unhealthy eatting. I have my 1/2 cup and then get frustrated when I crave more and it will make you sick. I have learned that if there is something I really enjoy when I am having a meal save 1/2 cup of it for the next meal. I was a grazzer before. I have lost 11 pounds since July 5th so my band is working now. I know if I put even one tiny bite more then the 1/2 cup in my mouth, I will be slimming like crazy. So be sure to measure the 1/2 cup out when you eat that just wait a minute or two see if the pouch is full. I had to learn to reconize this feeling. So good luck on starting over!You can do it just listen to the band as it is the best weight loss tool you will ever get! Really!

    Third Fill - tight

    <p>You don't want to be this tight, the pain is so bad some times. I have chose though to live with it. I only hope its not a mistake because they say if you go too long to tight you can end up having it removed due to slippage. I had a baked potatoes last night it was the best thing I have eatten in weeks. I over buttered it and mashed the insides added a small amount of sour cream and I think I died and went to heaven. No really I thought I was eatting those baby bites, sipping and taking the 30 to 45 min to eat. I wasn't I have slowed down, measured and sipped now I can enjoy my food and drink. I do seem tighter in the am. Its the pm when I can eat most anything thats bad for me because I then go to bed with a full pouch and then I seem to gain weight. I was at my high weight of 267.4 I am now 222. I was 229.6 on July 5th so this fill is my freind!</p> <p>Good luck to all of you!</p>

    Third Fill - tight

    I thought I had it under control. One day I can eat the next I can't. I have been vomiting all day to day. I don't want a unfill I am losing but I am misserable on somedays. I do fine that if I am expericeing stress it seems tighter. I have had a lot of it too. My dad was diagnosed with liver cancer after haveing colon cancer. My mom seems to need me more and I also have to babysit for my grandson (I choose to). I worry about my husband since I see him so little. Hes a long haul truck driver. So stress is bad. I think if I could just settle down and not try to use my shoulders for everyone else I would be ok. So I have been off and on with the all liquids to soft for days. I was ok all of last week but then my brother got sick. More stress. On top of all that I am working on getting my real estate licences so my hubby can be home more often.

    Third Fill - tight

    just wanted to let ya all know I am finally doing fine with the fourth fill. I just had to give it time. I went back on the full liquids for another 24 hr and it has helped. I am finally losing weight. I might even make my labor day goal! Karen:clap2:

    I Did It Today

    if I lost that much weight in 31 days my dr would not do a fill. If I lose 4 or more pounds he will leave it the way it is. If I lose less he will tweek it with a small fill.

    Third Fill - tight

    I had my 4th fill on July 5th. I had 2.25 cc's until then. I could eat and drink anything. Well this time he did the fill will I drank the barium...yuck... anyway he put in ove 2cc's more. So know I have 4.2 cc's in a 4 cc's band. Well I started with the liquids fo 24 hours went to muchies yesterday. I can not eat more then 2 bites before I am pb'ing. I can sip the water ok. I was supposed to start saof to solid today but the scrambled egg said no. I have not had very much to eat or drink since the fill. It hurts. I will give this 1 week and if it does not let up I will need a de fill. I know there is always some swelling after a fill so I will give it a little time. :hungry: Its a 3 hour to my dr so I have to wait.
