I am having the same problems. Like u said it is head hunger. I've been snacking and probley too much wine.I need to get my butt exercising.I was banded 4/08 and have lost 70 lbs.,nothing in 5 months.I've noticed that has been the time when i stopped exercising too. I feel like I've let myself get back in the same old rutt.Ya know it is mostly mental work and sometimes thats the hardest thing to control.So hearing myself talk ,guess I need to change my head and get my butt working.

OMG,I feel the same way. Everything u described is me to a tee

:w00t:

hey guys,i was banded 4/08 and i've had about 5 or 6 fills , i had a fill the other day and i totally feel no restriction. i usually feel pretty tight at first but this time isn't the same.Dr B usually gives me my fills but the nurse p did this time .she pulled out fluid ,so i know she got my port and she gave me 1/2 cc. but i felt more restriction before i had my fill than now.so i/m wondering should i call or wait a few days and watch it?

Hi, I'm in the same boat, I can't figure out how to update mine either, so please fix mine too. I'm 176 lbs. Banded 4/17... thanks and everyone is doing great. This month haven't been too good for me.I've gotten lazy and no exercise and started snacking too.now that school is back in i can start working on me. Tina

WOW,,,I'm here too! Got my band April 17th. I have't lost a lb in over 2wk that sucks.lol My 1st fill is Monday the 19th. I'm soo ready! I need something to kick start me too.

Hi Lori,my name is Tina and my surgery was 4-17-08.I've lost 17lbs so for but nothing in about 2wks. I'm going through bandster HELL!! No restriction at all. It's all will power and boy thats hard as hell. My 1st fill is Monday 5/19,can't wait.I'm a little nervous cause its my 1st. Great job on the 50 lbs! Let me know when everyone would like to meet cause I would like to go too.Everyone take care!

I need help, I was banded on the 17th and i dont get my 1st fill till 5/20 , i believe I'm going thru bandster HELL now. I'm getting hungry and notice I can eat more too.I've been having to watch it carefully because anything will go down. I'm not sure if some is head hunger or if I am really hungry,probley both.What is the best way to get through this stage? Any ideas would greatly help. Oh, sorry I missed the meeting Thurs. night,my sons ENT appt. ran late.but maybe we all can meet on our own one evening.I'm pretty much free anytime..Thanks

Sounds good I'll be there too

I am down today 14 lbs since 4/9 and surgery was on the 17th.. Hard to believe that I am losing,,sooo happy!!

The meeting tomarrow , is it at Dr.C's office ? I've never been to one and would really like to attend. Are there alot of people who goes to it or just a few? Just wondering.

Hi everyone,I had my 1st post op appt today.Dr C said what ever I was doing to keep it up. I lost 8 Lbs since pre op appt. I 've lost 13 and a half(hey can't forget the half) lol. I was banded the 17th and I'm doing pretty good, still sore some. I've started walking about 4 days now and doing 20 mins and I really think that has helped alot. Sunday I started getting hungry. I know the real test is coming.I go for my 1st fill May 20th, I'm sure I will need it to.I'll try and make the meeting Thurs. Love to meet new people. Thanks:thumbup:

Hi, was banded the 17th too. The pain has been a little more than I thought, but I'm taking it slow and waiting on feeling normal again. It's been hard getting the protien in and the water too. I drink one shake and water and jello and maybe a sf popsicle so far .Just wondering if that is enough.I have my post op on the 29th.
