I got my 2nd fill Wednesday. I got 2 cc. I now have 5 cc in my 9 cc band. I can feel a difference when I eat but I dont know if its restriction. We shall see ...

Hey girl! Welcome to the group and congratulations on your weightloss.

Congratulations to everyone that was recently banded. I haven't posted here in a few weeks. I am still trying to learn my band. I started the couch 2 5k a few weeks ago but injured my knee so that has benched me and bummed me out. I think I will give it a few more days then try the elliptical. I go for my second fill tomorrow and it could not come soon enough. I have 3cc in my realize band. I can't feel any restriction. I also don't think that I have lost a pound since my first fill. How many cc should I expect for my 2nd fill? I am really hoping for restriction so that I can start losing some weight!

HI terri, I just wanted to say thank you for sharing and you are so brave. You are facing your struggle, fears, and anxieties. I believe that is the first step to success. Way to go girl!

I agree with this suggestion as well

I just wanted to give you all an update since I had not posted to this thread in a while. I completed weeks 1 and 2 without incident. Week 3 I began to have knee pain (sever) that I had never had before. So I did not continue the workout. The pain continued through week four and so did my hiatus from working out. I began taking liquid glucosomine 7 days ago and started feeling more flexibility in my knee and joints. Sooo I decided to try to pick up where I left off with week 3. My DH, DS, and I headed to the park today and by the second rum my knee started giving out and giving me severe pain! I stopped running but continued to walk as a workout. Now my knee pain is back in full force again. I think it's time to go to the dr.! It is just sad because now that I have the motivation to complete the c 2 5k my body will not cooperate. I haven't given up!:wink2:

I am right there with you all ! My 5 year old thinks it's hilarious... Gas has taken over my household!

Thanks for sharing Crishell! I can't wait to get that close to onederland! I am so proud of you and admire your dedication and optimism. Keep up the good work and keep us posted!

Ho! Ho! Ho! You must have been a very good girl this year. Congratulations!

Get out of here! I have never heard of it but will look into it because I flat iron my hair daily. I currently use a pair of Wigo Jade plated (yes jade, but I got them for a heck of a deal) irons. I am gonna google maxiglide right now! Thanks for the tip.

Congratulations! I am so happy for you and will say a little prayer in the a.m. Let us know how you are doing when you feel up to it.

There is a guy in my support group that only does water aerobics and he has lost a ton of weight! So you are on the right track. I have not started week 3 because my knee is killing me. I never had problems before. Maybe I pulled something. I bought some liquid glucosomine, maybe that will help with my creeky body.

Hey gg I'm glad to see you back! I was wondering what happened to you. I'm glad to see that you are doing well. Keep us posted on your progress.

21lbs; banded 9/9/08. Currently have 3cc in my 9cc realize band.

My first fill went very well. I got 3cc put in my 9cc band which I thought was very progressive. However, I really don't have the restriction that I thought that I would have. Maybe I just don't know what I am suppose to feel like with restriction? I know that in the mornings I am "tight" I don't really have an appetite or I can't eat a lot. By the afternoon my appetite is in full force. I go for my 2nd fill on the 19th. I guess I want that "I can get full after a couple of ounces" feeling! Besides that the scales haven't moved in two weeks. At least I'm not gaining! How is it going with you?

Really? I go to Orange Beach/Gulf Shores often. I love the outlet mall at Foley

Stay faithful! Your day will come! Oh and pan fry you some calf liver (I don't eat it but I heard that it's loaded with iron)

Welcome to our group. You will find great support here!

My 2nd fill is scheduled for the week before Thanksgiving and my 3rd fill is scheduled for the week before xmas. I am actually looking forward to having some great restriction!
