Hopping To It

:biggrin:OMG This is too funny, I have lost a leg and a brain....... haha

I have 8 cc's in a 10 cc band, finally good restriction

I was banded Nov,15th and had my 3rd fill Feb,19th which makes 8cc in a 10cc band, I am finally at perfect restriction and have dropped 7 pounds in a week. This is perfect!!!! If you are not at good restriction.. Dont give up it will come.

Liquid Isopure drink has 40 grams protien is premixed in a 20 oz bottle, flavors are icy grape, orange frost, blue rasperry, alpine fruit punch, this will help your hunger. Danna

Great job Heather, Thanks for sharing your story

I have the 14cc band better known at the VG or Vanguard and I have good news for all you who have this, you must be Patient and it will finally allow restriction. I am not patient and have been worried as I had absolutely 0 restriction and my surgery was 11/15/2007 however I had my 2nd fill 01/22/2008 which put me up to 7CC and the next day I found out what restriction feels like for the 1st time, it is amazing. I truly can only eat small amounts and now I must chew chew chew, so hang in there and know it will work it just takes a few fills to get there. Also everyone is different you may get restriction on your 1st fill but if not-Hang in There! Danna

:angryI am getting so frustrated, banded 11/15/2007, 1st fill 1/26/2007 3cc in a VG band which holds 14cc. The scale has not moved in over 5 weeks. I am eating protien first, never eating and drinking together. I started working out this week everyday a minimum of 30 minutes. I definately see NSV as the inches are coming off but would like to know if any of you have experienced this and when does it surpass? Next fill is scheduled 1/22/2008

Hello all, I also have 200 to lose and with all the support here we will make it. sewenup1 < my name is also Danna, it is so rare to find another. Lets all stick together and get thin together. See ya Lighter, Danna

Thank you all for your input, I appreciate the encouragement!!!

Taking less medicine each day, using the stairs instead of the elevator for my morning meeting at work.... Lovin it!!! Just feeling like living life :<)

Hi all, I believe I fit into the nymphs as I had my surgery on 11/15/07. So far I am down a total of 36#'s. The majority of which is from the 2week pre-op and 1 week post op. I have the VG band and am scheduled for my 2nd fill on 1/22/08 I can not wait as I feel no restriction yet and the weight loss has come to a halt.

Hi everyone, Just wanted to let everyone know a great new treat I have found is the Crystal Light Mango fusion Slurpee, it is different from the sugar free popsicle routine. I get mine at 7-11, let me know if anyone has seen this elsewhere in different Crystal Light flavors.. SEE YA LIGHTER

My surgery was 11/15 and I feel just as you explained, I can eat and drink more than I expected but do feel a little bad when I over eat. Hopefully the fills will fix this.

Hi all, I was banded on the 15th of Nov, feeling great and heading back to work tomorrow. Congrats to all you fellow bandsters!

Julie, Congratulations!!! You are stunning and you deserve to be happy. You have went through so much and what a inspiration you are to me and I am sure all of us bandsters! Take care and enjoy the new You!!:whoo:

Is it normal to feel ups and downs after lap band surgery, my surgery was 11/15 and went extremely well. I did not even have gas pains but now one minute I feel like crying and the next I am okay? Have any of you experienced this and is their a time limit this goes on for?:help:

Hi all, I am new to this thread but definately fit the criteria of a super size bandster. I enjoy reading all your posts and seeing the wonderful successess. You are all very inspiring and I am glad to be among you!

This is so encouraging to hear it is a normal part of this process, and I can not wait for it to high tail its way out of here!! Thank you for your reply
