Hi Theresa: You fell off now it's time to get back up. Yes you have worked so hard to get where you are. Please put it in your mind that you are not going back. Is there support groups in your area? I get the muchies alot of the time and eat out of boredom, but with the advise of others it's important to keep busy. Get your mind off of food. Go for a walk, call a friend, exercise...anything that would get your mind of food. Good luck to you!

Can anyone tell me how do you cope with eating out of bordom? I am fine throughout the day and when I get home the first thing I look for is a snack. Tired of eating sugarfree fruitcups, pudding and yogurt. Any suggestions? :embaressed_smile:

That is great! My 1st fill wasn't successful at all. I was only able to get 1cc and that was it. I keep telling my doctor the beast is back! I stay hungry, however I am still loosing weight so that is a plus. I go back Oct. 15th hopefully she can try and give me another fill. Wish me luck! Continue doing what you are doing..that was a wonderful report.

That is great!! Let me know how things work out for you. I know you will be excited like I am. Best of luck to you..(smile)

Hi CyndyG: The number #1 decision maker for me was that I was going to be healthier. I was taking alot of medications and now I am off all of them. You have young children and grandchildren. You want to be around and able to have just as much energy as the kids and enjoy them. Your life will change for the better. I feel so good, I can't even explain it. Do you have support groups in your area? If so, go to the meetings and get the information you need. I wish you the best! When is your date?

You go girl! Congrats to you! I wish you the best...you are definately going to smash some pumpkins!!!!!

That is great news!! You are excited now, just wait until after you are banded! I wish you the best of luck and Congrats to you!!

Aprilapple: I am cracking up over here!!! That's an excellent way to keep busy by exercising with the WII....duh! I couldn't figure it out! LOL...Thank you so much for the suggestion

Hey ATL! O.k. I am very curious, what is a WII??:tt1:

I try so hard, but the beast is back! I get so hungry and I had one fill which was only 1cc. I am going back for another fill and also, exercising. Thank you for your advice!

Hi there, I had my surgery on August 7th and went back to work on the August 18th. Make sure after your surgery you get up and walk around the gas will need to come out. I wish you the best of luck!

Hi there...it sounds like you are not getting enough protein in your system and you shouldn't be starving at all. I felt tired when I was banded but that was because I wasn't getting enough protein in my system. Make sure you call your doctor and discuss your symptoms it may be something serious or you may have a slippage and don't know it. Good luck to you!

Hi everyone, I am new to this and would like to chat with anyone who just was banded. :rolleyes2:

Hi Brandy! Are you getting excited about your wedding? When was your surgery?

Hi Momofthreeboys: I was banded on August 7th and I feel great. I still have some adjustments to go, like eating slowly and chewing foods. I went for my first fill on Tuesday, Sept. 9th and was only able to get 1cc. I didn't know the band was already filled 4cc so I was kind of disappointed. This is all new to me and hopefully I can get my questions answered. So far I've losted 18 lbs. This process is slow but that is how it should be. How much have you losted so far?

Hi Rebecca! I wish you the best of luck! My surgery was such a success, I still can't believe I lost 18 lbs already! You are going to be so excited!!
