Welcome Flowers !! :thumbup: So sorry to hear about your cruise and damage to your car. That is so sad. Where are you located? I'm in Grand Prairie, which is in Dallas County. Who is your Dr?

Janet, thanks for this site and for being here for us. You're the best. I come here every evening and read what everyone has to say, it helps me alot. The pictures you posted in your different outfits were sooooooooo nice. You look Awesome. My next fill is Oct 22nd, hopefully it will be the one I've been waiting for. Thanks again for all your help, you're such a sweetie.

Wow...1/2 cup satisfies you. That is great. I can eat as much as I want. I am not losing or gaining, just waiting to reach the happy zone. I have had 2 fills so far. I have 5cc's in a 10 cc band. My next fill is Oct 22nd. Hopefully the weight will start dropping after this next fill. I am struggling right now to maintain. Congratulations on your weight loss.

last week..221today...........220 this is such a struggle for me right now. I have had 2 fills. 5cc's total in a 10 cc band. I have NO restriction. I get my next fill Oct. 22nd. My lowest wt was 218.50 but I have gained. To all of you that lost...wtg !!

Gail, I'm so sorry about your Mom. I know what you are going thru, I lost my Dad in May.

Gail, so sorry for your loss.

Where do you find sugar free yogurt, and what brand is it? I can't find sugar free.

Eroded in your stomach? Ouch. How did you find that out? Were you experiencing alot of pain? Will you be getting a new band at a later date?

No, I wasn't sore.

Ladies, they call this Bandster Hell. I was banded Aug. 4th. I have had 2 fills since then. I had my last fill 3 days ago. My band size is 10cc, I now have 6cc's in my band. I don't see much difference in the way I feel before I had my fill. I have been told it could take 3-6 fills before we get to the Happy Zone. Hang in there, drink your water, count your calories, eat several small meals a day so that you won't overeat. I know what you are all going through. It will get better. :smile2:

What size band do you have Luluc?

Bochs, I had my 2nd fill Tuesday, the Dr. told me I have 6.25 cc's in my 10 cc band.

My band size is 10 cc's. I went for my 2nd fill yesterday which gave me a total of 6.25 cc's in my band. I go for my 3rd fill Oct. 20th. I was starving with 5 cc's after my last fill in Aug. Hopefully you misunderstood the Dr. about 4cc's is all you can have in your band. I'm hoping 6.25 cc's gives me better restriction for a longer period of time.

Thanks....today i got my fill. He put 1.25 cc's in which gives me 6.25. I am hungry now since today is Clear liquids only. I will find out tomorrow.

I have no restriction. I can eat anything !! Tomorrow I go in for my 2nd fill. I feel like I don't have a band. My band is 10cc's and I have a total fill of 5ccs. Hoping tomorrow will help me.

i looked at Walmart and they didn't have it, they might have been sold out. i got mine at Macy's. 49.99 on sale.

Would you share with me your protein shake recipe? I can't fine a protein drink I like, except Slim Fast Low Carb. I bought a Magic Bullet and New Whey vanilla protein powder, and they are sitting on the shelf, unused.

I looked and I couldn't find where you download it.

Hi....I noticed you're from Ft Worth. I live in Grand Prairie, but I do everything in Ft. Worth, was raised there. My Dr. is in Ft Worth also. I love scrapping too. When did you get your band and how are you doing? I've lost 26 1/2 lbs. I got my first fill Aug. 26th. I had good restriction for 3 days, now I am hungry and can eat anything. My 2nd fill is Sept 23rd. I have a 10 cc band with 5ccs fill now. The nurse told me Friday it could take 3-6 fills to get to my sweet spot. Good Luck.

I had my first fill Aug. 26th. I have a total of 5cc's. I had restriction the first 3 days after fill, since then I am starving. I'm not doing too well and so afraid I'm going to gain back what I have lost. My next fill is Sept. 23rd. " Help " !! :thumbup:

I got my first fill Aug 26th. I now have 5cc's in a 10cc band. The first 3 days were great, now I am having hunger pains between meals. My next fill is Sept. 23rd. Getting my fill was very uncomfortable to me, not looking forward to the next one.

Phyllser ... Will you share your Turkey Teriyaki Roast recipe? Sounds delish !!

I was told my pouch would only hold 4oz. Nutritionist told me to eat 1/2 cup per meal. Dr that did my fill told me to keep food amount the size of my fist.

I have always wondered why they use different size bands. Do you know. When I had my last fill, Dr told me I had a 10cc size band. I ate 1/2 cup of Rice Krispies this morning at 8:30 and I am very hungry now. I have to wait until the 23rd for another fill. Felt great for 3 days after fill, started feeling hungry sooner yesterday.
