Hi Was a Bubble Butt.... when were you banded? Have you really lost 113lbs in 10 months by sticking to this "liquid" method?

Zippy - I'm in the same boat but not to worry it's only the first fill and alot of us are going through the same challenges. Take one day at a time and believe in yourself! The 2nd fill is just around the corner and everyone's different....learn the behaviors - do the best you can and keep your goal in front of you. If you need support or someone to bounce things off of let me know...I'm here and we can do it together!

Hi everyone, I've been reading all of your messages however this is my first time actually responding. :thumbup: I was banded on 11/30/07 and so far everything has been going great...but I have to admit the last few weeks have been a real struggle with no restriction. My first fill was just a few days ago on 2/7 - went pretty well after my doctor was able to locate my port (took a bit of searching) but the actual fill was a breeze. I have a "standard" band which holds I believe between 7-9 cc's, my doctor filled mine with 4 cc's. I'm past the day of liquid and now onto soft solids. I'm worried....I don't feel any restriction and don't want to take a step back rather then two steps forward. Has anyone else experienced no restriction after the 1st fill? Any suggestions, thoughts, ideas? Patiently Optimistic :thumbdown:
