3 years has passed since you registered at LapBandTalk! Happy 3rd Anniversary sblue!

I was also banded two months ago. I am doing about the same as you. I got a fill two weeks ago and have gained a pound. I am definitely hungry.

I haven't seen any messages on the blog from you. How are you doing since your fill? I haven't lost a pound and am getting discouraged. I'm also very hungry at meal time and eating more than a cup and a half. I know there is no use calling Dr. Choban's office as Kathleen would just say "wait until your appointment".

I need help! I am 67 and had my first fill two weeks ago. I have not lost a pound since, and I am very hungry at meal time. Anyone have any suggestions?

Greg, I had my fill this week as well, and the girl who did it is not a doctor. She is a nurse and had to do multiple tries on me too. She also did not have my band size correct on her chart. ?????? Guess you have to keep a close eye on them to keep things right. -

Lyn, I used your directions and got my ticker tape going, but now I don't know how to get it to NE 1 been banded. I'm not very good at cut and paste. I enjoy reading all the information you and the others put on here. I'm going for my first fill tomorrow and am excited. My weight loss has been very slow, and I find I am hungry before the next meal. You are doing great -- keep up the good work. -
Hi! I'm having my first fill on the 5th. Kind of apprehensive as I don't know what to expect. I'm hungry as well. Sugar free fudge bars were suggested by my nutritionist and popcicles. Both help with the sweet attacks. I'm getting pretty sick of cottage cheese. It is always such an easy thing to grab. I hope to get motivated to walk more pretty soon. My knees hurt so I always think I don't want to go for a very long walk. Your 4 miles is impressive:smile2: I appreciate hearing from you and your updates. I don't have many supportive people -- of course that is my fault as I haven't told very many people that I had the surgery. Keep in contact. Sally

Hi CamJay, I haven't been on the computer for a couple of weeks. I am wondering how things are going for you on the pureed phase. I'm eating lots of tuna (yek) and Windy's chili. I find it difficult to find high protein soft yet solid food that I like. I haven't lost as quickly as I thought I would, but at least I'm not gaining:rolleyes2: I'm definitely glad I had it done.

Hi blue--sorry it has taken so long for me to get back to you...I have been working like CRAZY!!
My doctor has his patients on a bit of an accelerated diet (if the individual can manage it). I am now on regular food. It only took 4 weeks to get to that point.
As far as purees go, let me give you a few ideas...
I love spicy foods, so spices are my best friends, but not everyone likes them, so go at your own disgression.
I took refried beans, salsa and browned turkey burger and added a bunch of spices in the blender. I still eat it to this day. Top with a little bit of shredded cheese and sour cream. Very good and filling.
Also, egg-drop soup is amazing!! It also is filling and delicious.
Egg salad, blend the eggs until they are very pasty.
V-8 is a great treat.
Mashed potatoes with real bacon bits and shredded cheese are heavenly, but I can no longer handle the potato starch...makes me sicky-poo.
Tamales are good, but water them down a bit with salsa and puree them!!
I hope that I have helped you a bit. PLease let me know how you are doing and if I can help you at all!!
Be proud of yourself!! You deserve it!!

Progress? Yup, progress!!!

You must be eating pureed foods by now. What are you pureeing? No one has given me any ideas yet. -

Sounds like you are doing great redheather. I was banded 6/25 and can't wait to see something? -

Good to read all of the messages. I didn't even like Kathleen's attitude. She always calls me sweetie and talks over me all the time I am trying to tell her what I need. They certainly need to clean out that office, and the sad part is that many people tell them (the docs)about the problems. What part of it don't they understand. As some one else said the office staff certainly has give Mid Ohio Surgical a black mark. Anyway I'm doing better today and hope soon to be back to normal!
