i honestly don't know I put my health and care in his hands, and when he said 3ccs I was a bit shocked. Do I call tuesday and talk to him about how much? I am very concerned Keri

I have a total of 9 cc's in There is no more room for any more fills. I am very concerned about being at 9 ccs already

Cause I haven't been losing. I am down 30lbs....!! Son't get me wrong I am happy about that. Clothes fit so loose, and I am offically in 16/18 size clothes...... That to me is the best feeling. But since I am not losing I am very embarrassed. I did call up my doc, and asked to speak to the nurse to explain my situation. I have 6 cc's in, and no restriction. There are some foods that I feel restriction. But it quickly passes. So I know I need a little more. So in explaining this to the nurse she was very happy to rechedule my appt for an appt with the doc and to follow that........a FILL. I hope this helps me. I am sure this is what I need! Keri

i have a follow up on the 3rd of feb, and I am thinking we are going to schedule my next fill then. I hope that it can be done sooner than later. I have no restriction, I am glad you are getting to use this tool as it is supposed to be! I am doing good though with using weight watchers Keri

I am so glad I am not alone......I feel like a failure when I don't see the numbers going down on the scale....... But I don't worry about it, and I track on!! I have a follow up appt on the 3rd of feb, so hopefully I can get my next fill soon! I am working out! Oh it feel so painful the next day. Working muscles that having been worked in a long time. But I know an ounce of pain is a pound of pleasure... and that is a pound gone! Thanks ya'll !! Keri

well it seems I have hit my first platue.... I had my first fill on 22 dec, and I have no restriction....... 6 cc's. I am really shocked too that I have no restriction. I am a little upset. But with using weight watchers...... I have not gained weight. I have lost 24lbs.... It's great! I am working out 3-4 days a week. I just needed to vent about this wall i've hit. thanks for listening Keri

I fit in to my size 18 jeans. They are a little tight, but.......they don't look 1/2 bad HUbby said that he thought they looked good. So... I was happy!! Keri :tongue_smilie:

I share with whom I want to share. However my supervisor didn't respect my privacy and has shared it with a few people. It is my decision who know and who I want to tell. Not hers. I am proud of my decision, and have only positive things to say about it! Keri

I have been working out.....and hard too! still at a platue! I ran/brisked walked a mile in 14:30 min! then after that I walked another 1/2 mile. My best friend is being a great personal trainer. She was a basketball player, and has some great exercises. OMG:eek: I am so sore. I have muscles that I didn't know I had. So, heres to hoping this week I break down that wall! I really want to hit 25lbs soon!! and then some Keri

a 3 gallon tub of ice cream!!

As long as you have referrals, yes they pay for everything. Keri

Could use good vibes.......... I am very scared, and totally nervous. I can't believe that I am already at my first fill date. my mind is going crazy, as my body is so scared. I walked a mile tonight. I want to go and fill my stomach up and eat.......that is what I used to do. But I didn't I had dinner which was egg beater eggs, and some cheese in them. I am not hungry. I can honestly say my head hunger is still overwhelming sometimes. Thanks all for any encourging words.... Keri

I didn't have to stop mine.... just couldn't give it in the belly. I am sorry about your flare ups! Keri

sweety I am there with you!! I totally know what you are feeling Just take it day by day, and We will be losing soon!! Keri

ok had my first real meal........well not so real eggs about 1/4 cup, and some potatos. Ate slow, and stopped in the middle cause I had to meet with a patient for and hour and went back. i never did feel full. So I am not sure about the restriction. Keri

Well I def feel satisfied...... I had a 3oz pork chop, and 1/2 cup of asian style greenbeans, and about 2 tbs of stuffing. I could have eaten more, as the mind set of not being banded..... but I can feel some area of fullness in the bottom of my chest. I am assuming that this is what fullness feel like..... am I right? I hate that I can't drink during my meal. I am always thursty when I eat. But I didn't!! yeah me! I can drink in about 30 mins..... I just have to learn to get rid of this head hunger!

I am certianlly not restricted. I didn't over eat.......... I ate 1 small slice of turkey, and mashed potatos, and green bean casserole. Not once did I feel like i was full. I am so disheartened..... So starting tomorrow.......I am back on weight watchers. I am plotting my food out for the week and that is it. I will not eat anything more than that! Hopefully with the WW and the band and when I get my next fill......... It will work for me! Any advise please share! I had my first fill on 22 dec.......... I followed the Fluid only for the rest of the day and the next day and then started with mushy foods...... Does restriction take a while???? I had 6 ccs. Is it the wrong size band??? I am seriously mad that I didn't do the RNY Keri

I had a 2 day clear liquid diet... they are all so different. I wish they would follow one guideline..... Good luck! Keri
