Your body is still healing. Give it time to adjust you will start losing but remember you will do much better once you've had some fills Congrats and best wishes!

@justwatchme. I could've signed my name to your post! Same weight numbers and same eating issues! I've lost about the same as you and need to lose another 50! I got a small fill yesterday and I need to get my head back in the game! @@TheProfessor I envy your ability to just not eat when you're not hungry! Enjoy this time just make sure you're getting enough Protein in.

Hope all is well my fellow banders! I got a fill today of .5. Hope this helps with my hunger. I seem to have this fine line between too loose, and acid reflux when too tight. So I'm hoping this will do the trick. Just finished a yummy soup for my liquid supper! How's everyone else today?

How is everybody?? Things are pretty good here. I am going Wednesday for a fill and I am looking forward to some more help from my band! I've got to start getting out and moving. My exercise has gone to zero! I need y'all's inspiration! How are you moving lately??

Hello all! I didn't get to post last night but I'm here today. Ate more in the day and I think it helped me stay in control last night. Did great on food except for some candy last night. I get so munchy when the hubs works nights but last night was his last. @@punkinvine so glad you have those meetings and that food sounds yummy! @@JustWatchMe I hope things went ok with the house and the ex! @@bacon sorry you had such a rough day. Today is a new one and you can do this! Being a good provider and driver is so important. I wish more trucks took after you! @@s_suther hope all is well! Here is my positive about me. Sounds cheesy but I am a nice person. Sometimes too nice and tender hearted. I feel like I am a peace maker and try to find the calm in the storm Hope everyone has a great day full of good choices!

Had a great weekend trip. Lots of relaxing and enjoying nature! Unfortunately my food choices were not too Bueno and I carried it over today. So head in the game tomorrow. Here is my plan B greek yogurt L chicken taco Soup S cottage cheese/ peaches D chicken salad S greek yogurt How's everybody else doing? @@bacon I think sometimes I don't eat enough during the day and it makes me go crazy in the evening too. Hope I can stick with my plan!

Hello all! @@punkinvine I am praying for your family! @@bacon so glad to see you planning and working this thing! My days have been pretty good. Chicken salad for lunch and 1/2 a burger for dinner Heading camping this evening! Long weekend with the hubs. Trailer is loaded and ready just need to get this work day over with! Prob won't check in much til Tuesday so yall keep up the good work! ❤️️ya!

All is well here...did not do Bueno on supper last night. Today I've had B yogurt L bean burrito S Apple D gonna grill last nights steak & cauliflower I am jealous of some of that fall weather I'm hearing about. It got up to 90 here in Texas today!

I've had my band about 7 years. Been successful but never to goal. Sw 314 lw 170 cw 201. Went for a fill about 2 weeks ago. Got .3 small amount but huge difference. I have reduced hunger, small portions satisfy, and having to eat slower with smaller bites. I have noticed that I am having some night coughing. I take Nexium daily which helps with the acid but still having some reflux. I feel like I'm walking a fine line getting good restriction and being too tight. I really want to wait a bit to have any removed to see if things will settle. Thoughts? Anyone done this before?

So you found a house s_suther?? That's wonderful! Your plan sounds good today! My plan is.. Greek yogurt for breakfast Smart one enchilada lunch Grilled steak or salmon with cauliflower for dinner Snacks have been killing me too. So I am planning them Cottage cheese/peaches after school Yogurt for my night time sweet Hope everyone has s good day!

Yes I will! I've missed the daily check in with you guys! I was doing pretty good with my weightloss after my last fill. I knew I was a bit tight but I tried to ride it out. Didn't work. Ended up getting more out than I had put in during my last fill. I was sick on top of everything else. In the last 10 days I've gained 4 pounds! ???? my reg doc gave me phentermine until I can get more in my band again but I've been too scared to take. I'll prob go in next week and get a fill. Until then.......tomorrow is Monday. Get your plans ready and post! I need you guys!

@@iamshazza glad you got a bit of a fill. Do you plan on going to get a little more to help with hunger or are you going to try to keep it looser? I've gained 4 pounds in a week since my slight unfill!! Sure goes on faster than it comes off. I always go a little crazy for a couple of days when I get an unfill. I hope to go back and get a little soon!

Ugh! I had a terrible weekend of eating!! All I can do is start over today! Got my chicken salad and protein drink ready! I will not let myself undo what I've been working on! I think she said I can go back for a fill in another week or so. My pcp gave me an appetite suppressant to take while my band is looser but I haven't taken any yet and don't really want to if I can help it...

@2muchfun. Good luck with your unfill I have to say I have slept completely through the night with no coughing or choking since my unfill! Heavenly! Now, I just have to learn to like this feeling of hungry. The struggle is real! ????

Well my night time reflux continued and I had several pretty bad nights. Woke up today sick. Fever headache and chills which I think added to my tightness. So I went in for an adjustment. I was sooo irritated and tight today she ended up taking out 1 whole cc which terrifies me! I will definitely have to watch myself. She said come back when I'm feeling better and we can take it slow. I had the perfect restriction for my hunger and being satisfied with a small amount but the reflux was killing me. She brought up the sleeve again. She said some never find that perfect adjustment in the band. But that will be my last resort

I had mine removed and have slowly found green again. And it didn't take as much to get there.

I've had my band for a little over 7 years. Lost 117 pounds. I ❤️ my band!!

So great to hear from you! School is in full swing and it's going great! I got a fill about 3 weeks ago and I've lost 7 pounds since! ???? the amount has really curbed my appetite and I get full on a small amount with no problems eating. I've been having a little trouble with some reflux at night but I got a wedge pillow to help. It has gotten better over the last week or so. I hope to hear from some of our other accountability peeps! @@s_suther one day at a time is all we can do

So do any of you think your band loosens as you lose weight?

I now what you mean @ Julie Norton. Even when I look on the timeline for this site it's mostly sleeves.

@@Julie norton I ❤️❤️❤️ my band. Nothing bad to say about it at all! Just keeping the right balance of just right and too tight can be tricky.

Thank you @ dream4c. I definitely won't let this go on too long. I had a good night last night cut off all food and liquids about 3 hours before bed.

I ordered a wedge pillow it should be here tues or Wednesday hopefully that will help. If not I might just be one that has to keep my band a little looser. But I sure am enjoying the fullness when I eat a small amount

@@2muchfun and @@iamshazza keep me posted on what you do and how it helps! Darn finicky bands!

@@Julie norton. Good luck getting your band dialed in. Mine has been pretty loose foe a while and I've been trying to rely more on myself but I need my band that's for sure!
