Good luck with the liquids, you must be used to them by now on Day 10. I lost 'weight' in the boobs and really didn't notice it right away, but my bras are much better fitting and some are even sloppy now, after 50+ lbs gone. It's a wonderful feeling, congrats on taking control of your health with the band.

you are not going to lose without restriction and that sometimes takes a little longer for everyone. I have had two fills, got to 5ccs and couldn't really eat much of anything solid. I was miserable and needed an adjustment...or unfill. Things are better now, but I still have a lot of trouble eating anything before noon time. Follow the rules..protein first, no liquids before, during or after and exercise. No one said it was easy, you have to work at it, but when you do it the right way, the rewards will come. Good luck to you!

How many cc's do you have? How many fills so far?
KayVee replied to tripletmomma2000's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Wow August BANDit's are rocking it! I'm past the 'sweet spot' and excited to see my dr. on Dec 16 for an adjustment. At this point, it should be for an unfill. I got 4cc for my first fill and 1cc for my second. Since about 7 days after the 2nd fill, I can't eat anything early in the day and sometimes water hurts. I get a heartburn feeling and a yucky full painful feeling as my food travels downward. I wanted to get in for the unfill sooner, but with the holiday schedule of my dr and my work travel, we had to settle for the 16th. Now, it's been a few weeks and it is getting marginally better, but still some pain with eating and drinking. This has helped kick up the weight loss, but I don't think the dr will see this as a positive side effect! :thumbup: -
Hi BG, thanks for the note. My fill/unfill is set for Dec 16, with his holidays and my travel that is the soonest I could get in. I'm really tight in the mornings, til about mid afternoon, then things pass a little easier, but not much. Now, last night I had a bit of my turkey chili and 1 oz of cheddar and all was well! Probably going to be just right by the 16 and need nothing! An unfill is on my mind though, thanks for the kind words, you are rocking the band! Take care.

Hey GF! Just caught up on your blog. Sounds like your doing well, but too tight...don't let that heartburn go on too long without relief (unfill or meds), or it can cause sores in your esophagus quickly. Your WL is GREAT!!!! Have a good weekend. -BG

Catching up on your blogs, congrats on the great loss! You really did rock it this time with all the diversions going on and still respectable loss in a good amount of time. Only 3 heads left...can you believe it??? You'll be at goal before your bandiversary...mark my words!!

11/16/09 Changing the Right Things is Hard
KayVee commented on Band_Groupie's blog entry in The Sweet Spot
BG-you can always put it in perspective for us. The band works if we work the band. Life has been crazy for me too and no exercise has stalled things for me as well. I'm not gaining, though! Enjoy the day and stay the course. -
hey kathy- im doing quite well. Over the two week post op period (on liquids) i lost 12 pounds.(total of 27 since three month preop requirements) I returned to work yesterday and I am exhausted. I started mushies on wednesday-oh how i love mushies!!! i hope the tightness/heart burn goes away and you find that just right spot!!!!! talk to you soon. Leslie

I have two fills going on with a total of 5ccs in my Realize Band. I posted on my blog about the heartburn-y tightness in my chest feeling I get often. It doesn't always center around eating, but I've never had it before and I'm eating Waaaay less. Losing well, (maybe too well, if that's possible) but in the back of my mind, I'm thinking, this is the sweet spot...it just hurts right now. (thinking bitch slap)! I'll probably give the dr's office a shout and see if I should be worried. I'm really not! Doing good on the losing right now, and not looking for another fill any time soon.
