Sounds like what many have gone through their first week.

You have been banded for only two months how do you figure you have wasted your time? Relax you will get there, you just had major surgery and 1cc sounds about right. You are two months out and have lost 20lbs with only 70 to go dam you have lost like 25% of your extra weight, sounds to my like you are doing just fine!!! Maybe you might want to focus on the positive a bit more I bet you will feel a little better.

I have not had a fill yet, and I fell FULL off a 4oz cottage cheese it blows my mind! Another strage this is going on Im not craving carbs like I used to Im so happy about this I sure hope it stays this way. Used to love bread and rice and now dont ever think about them.

I think many feel this way after there fist fill, Im lucky and feel tons of restriction with no fill, I go in for my one month check up this coming Fri and Im going to tell him NO fill. Call your Doc and have him put in more.

In most cases this will not be enough, remember your Doc works for you! you pay him so you are in charge. Call him up tell him you knee another fill. I sure when you get some good restriction going you will see the pounds start coming off. Good luck.

I was never a coffee person, love the smell hate the taste. Now Diet Mt Dew was for me, I drank 2 two liter bottles a day thats tons of caffein. I have been so happy I quit the day befor my band and have not had caffein in almost a month and feel so much better and I thank God I dont crave it I say hang in there and try to quit coffee, Water is so much better and its free.

Mine is a big angry cop that says NO! lol

Ok I take back my last reply fluids for a few days might no be a bad idea, I got stuck two days ago preaty good and now I got stuck twice today not as bad as the first time but my guess if there might be some swelling going on. So back to luqids for me for a few days

Im four weeks out and did something like your, wife came home with some cade I took way to big of a bite and BAM that bad boy his like a big fat brick in my chest sliming went on for about 5 min then it cleard on its own. I did not go on luquids and Im find just eat the right foods, chew them enough and eat slow you should be fine. Oh and just an FYI l love the band for teaching me a very quick and valuable lesson, the game has changed and I have to play buy its rules!!!

Funny thats going on with me rignt now, I was banded on the 14th of Aug and its on the incision where my port is. Its not causing any problems the wound has healed up and looks great just at one end have a tiny little end of a sticth sticking out, I go to my doctor this coming Friday and will update ya on it.

In my veiw he is full us shit! Sorry you are having to deal with this. Nothing worse then not being able to trust your partner. Sounds like you both have some serious thinking to do about your future as husband and wife. Best of luck to ya!!

Hell NO :thumbup: Got banded almost a month ago and for the fist time in my life Im not starving 24-7 loves his band ------> Renob Oh and dont sweat it your pain will go away as will your extra weight!

Lots of belching the first 10 days for me, I was banded on Aug 14 and it seems Im back to normal as far as the belching goes.

Muns are you working out and if so what ya doing? I think working out is so overlooked with many banded people, I feel is so key in reaching our goals.

Just an FYI these numbers are just a little off 3-4% body fat is what pro body builders gets to for only about a day or two when they have competition the norm for a six pack to start looking good is 10 to 8% Can is be done at 40 sure, will it be easy no.

Trying to fine a support group meeting to hit.

People if you have little or no restriction then your band will not working as designed!! Please dont get all worked up just call your doc and get a fill, its that EASY.

You need to move!!! work out every day even if its just walking a few miles, it will be key in reaching your goals. Good luck :thumbup:

I have to say I feel sorry for you and people like you, but I do find you entertaining so please keep the replies coming. Remenber the mind is like a parachute in that it needs to be open to work!!!

I have found getting lots of protein helps me, I get my first fill on the 12th and have found I dont get hungry but I so miss the tast of some foods lol. good luck

I took one week off, I sit behind a desk and it was fine, I bet I could of come back in half the time if needed.

Ouch, I thought is was all about helping each other in losing weight and all the things that go with it.

Wow I was going to say something mean, but its just not worth it. I will say I thank God every day that I'm not living life with a closed mind, I would hate to end up on my death bed thinking of all the this things in life I had missed.

lol you funny person. I love weed just dont smoke it much, not many of those I'm around smoke it. Im lucky if I have it 5 or 6 times a year :thumbup:

So check if there are any docs doing the band in China Im sure there are. Get your band here in the states and let the doc over there do the fills, dont wait another year, lots of weight related bad stuff can happen in a year!! Shoot in a year you can be almost at your goal weight is you put in the needed foot work.
