Hello I was banded April 4 2015. Down 28 pounds. I'm getting closer to the max fills that my band can take and Ito has been a struggle. The highest weight loss I had was when the fill was too much and I was missable for 3 days and unable to eat or drink. They remove that fill and I kept what I lost for a month. Later in I got a tiny fill it was good for a few days but lately I feel it tighter and can't experiment with anything as I get stuck constantly On Monday I'm getting littl fluid out Night time are the worst if I eat at night then I can't sleep as I get up to vomit or saliva coming out for my nose ( sorry about the tmi) but I need to speak with someone that can understand me. I don't feel I'm eating healthy. When I was heavier I think I ate better. Please help

To make you all feel better mine was on April. 1rst fill .5 started on May then none until July another .5 then starting in August I've been getting .5 biweekly I'm just feeling the diff where I have just lost additional 4 pounds. I do work out consistently This last was only .3 I was the lowest weight for wls. Dr was being very careful with me. Keep it up. Choose right choose protein first eat green leafy veggies and sweet potatoe who is my fav carb choice -

Ima glad all went well. I lost 5 pounds which I was a lil surprise comparing to what others loose but I have no restriction yet. They said is slow at the beginning until I get a fill. Minday I start with solids. For yiur soups you can add u flavored whey protein make sure you disolve it first in water before putting into the soup

Hello thank you yes I am recuperating well almost done with liquids I lost 5 pounds which is good considering I still have no restriction in my band yet. Congratulations on your desicion us going to be great the easy part is the surgery the eating part is the challenging but so worthy Kwcrnp how are you hope all well
