Thank you for the information on band sizes. I know that I have a 4 cc band and didn't understand what that meant. I look forward to my first fill as I am able to eat more than I should. I can't believe how sick my mind is that I will push this. I am making better choices and eating way smaller portions, but I need to do something about fixing my brain.

Thanks for this thread. It has been very helpful to me as I wasn't clear on the whole band sizes either. I know I have a 4 cc band. I have not had a fill yet, but I can eat way more than I should now. I look forward to my first fill. My BMI is over 40 and I have 125 pounds to loose, but he put the smaller band on me.

To all who wrote me back this week, I so appreciate it. I was truly blessed and encouraged by your comments. I shared with you my discouragement, coming from the fact that I can and do eat way more than I thought I would. Now for the good things. I am sharing meals, I am choosing much smaller portions. I sat at the Mariner's baseball game last night, and I could fit in the seat without feeling like I was wedged in. I am still at 22 pounds, but today I ate half or even a quarter of what I use to eat at lunch, and that was after I did 2 miles on the treadmill and went to the weight room. So, I still very much look forward to my fill when I can really take off the weight, but in the mean time I am counting my blessings and trying to recognize the positive things that are changing. Thanks again for your encouragement.

I am feeling like I am all by myself here. I had my band placed 3 weeks ago today. I have been eating soft foods for a week. I feel like I can eat way more than I thought I should be able to eat. I don't feel like I am doing very good right now. I have lost 22 pounds, but 20 of them were while I was on liquids. I feel like all the things they said I wouldn't be able to do, I can do. Yes, there are a lot of things I can't eat. yes, I can't eat nearly like I use to. I guess I am afraid I am going to ruin stuff before I get my first fill. Help me. I need encouragement and advise.
