@@enjoythetime, thanks for your response & encouragement. I went ahead a got the fill done on Wednesday morning. I read that The hiccups/burps would be my stopping point but sometimes I would get them even before eating and I would be hungry. I would be hungry after 3-4 hours so I think I made the right choice. Since the fill, my appetite has really slowed - can only eat about 5-10 bites if that many of anything- I went from liquids, purée, soft foods and regular so we will see how this goes.

I am almost 13 weeks post op and have lost 35 pounds so far however I have noticed that it has really slowed down a lot. I am watching what I eat and exercising. My appetite is much greater than previous weeks. I am able to eat larger portions and I have terrible burps and hiccups afterwards. I try to eat slow, not drinking when eating, eat protein first and everything. I didn't get a fill at my 6wk post op appt since I was having trouble with a lot of phlegm and I was losing good. but now since my appetite has increased and the scale not moving as much - should I go get a fill to get things moving a little and to curb my appetite some? Any encouragement is greatly appreciated and I welcome it. Thanks

My weight 258 as of 7/20/15

I am taking Celebrate chewable a multi vitamins, b-12 and biotin fast melting tablets. I also take chocolate calcium chewables.

Hey everyone!!!! I was banded on 5/20/15 and so far I have lost 34 pounds. So far so good. It's still a little hard for me to get in all my protein but it's getting better each day. Most days I am not hungry but will eat something as it's not good to go all day and not hungry. I haven't had my first fill yet as I had a problem with slimming but it's getting better now. Hopefully I will in October. I am exercising at least 3 times a week but trying to increase so I can make my weight goal. Good luck to all!!!

I see I am added - my weight is 258 - by Labor Day - 240
