Hi Taffiegirl, How's it going? Have not heard from you thought I would drop a line. I am still at a no loss.

OMG! I am not blaming "the band" the thread was: Would you do it all again?" And I said no and gave my reasons. Never once did I blame the band for anything.

Too tight? Are you kidding? I am not tight enough. I am leaving on vacation in a week so I dont want to have a fill right before I go. But too tight? Maybe you did not read my post. I AM NOT LOSING. I can eat anything and everything. There is very little restriction. I have been forcing myself to eat small portions, not by any means of the band. :tt2:

Need Lap Band Buddy / Mentor Help! I'm A HUGE Failure!
WannaBSkinnyB replied to bonniep's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I am curious, when was your last fill? -
NO! Have not lost. Can't ever have pop again. Things get stuck and it hurts. No bread, pizza, pasta, and for what? No weight loss. I am at 7.2cc in a 10cc band. I am not sure how much more it is gonna take. I can hardly eat things now and am still not losing. Does not make sense to me. I might as well of not had the surgery and went back on one of the many diets I was on. At least then the scale was moving. :biggrin:

How are the banded Notorious Novembers???
WannaBSkinnyB replied to mljalways's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am sorry to hear your not losing either. But glad to know someone out there is struggling like me with this. I just don't get it. I am gonna stay at it also, I just hope the scale starts to move soon. This is getting very frustrating. -
Not Losing. . . except my mind.
WannaBSkinnyB replied to WannaBSkinnyB's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I am at my sweet spot that is the problem. I eat small amounts of food on a salad plate. I eat Protein and veggie at meals, no carbs. Stay full for 5 hours and am still not losing a thing. I should be dropping weight compared to what I use to eat. I am at 7.2cc in a 10cc band. I get full quick and stay there. I don't snack at all during the day just eat my meals. I just dont know what else I can do to get the scale to move. -

I just don't get it. The scale just will not move for me.:thumbup: I eat 1/4 of what I use to. Get exercise in daily. Band at 7.2cc so I have good restriction. I can't break 200 for nothing. It has been 2 months banded and I am still at an 8 pound weight loss. :w00t: My DH doesn't get it either, he sees what I eat everyday. Anyone out there have any ideas? Anybody else go thru this? :tt1: Help I am losing my mind. -
For those wondering about flying...
WannaBSkinnyB replied to littlefroggy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was told by my doctor that people can feel tightness due to the stress they have about flying. As you notice if you are stressed out you feel tight. I don't stress out when flying so I should be fine. I have talked to others that fly and no one has had a problem. -

WannaBSkinnyB replied to CSBinABQ's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I totally know how you feel. I finally have some restriction this week and boy I am learning the hard way to slow down and chew. Last night had the sliming for about 10 minutes. Sheesh that is the worst feeling when something is stuck. The post before me had some good ideas. It's funny how I still want to finish that dinner though. Total head thing. I guess it is a learning process for us all. :yikes: -
HELP ME! I can't turn off the slime!
WannaBSkinnyB replied to aubrie's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
So you had your fill on the 9th and are getting really good restriction now? So did it take a few days for it to kick in? I am curious since I am new and still trying to figure out this whole fill thing. -
How are the banded Notorious Novembers???
WannaBSkinnyB replied to mljalways's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I feel your pain. Hang in there. It is so weird that every doctor has different ways to do things. Although when I went in last week they gave me 1cc cause I begged her to when she only wanted to give me .5. So she did and she had to take .5 back out. [i was not able to swallow the water very well. It was gurgling.] So this week I got that other .5 back in and was fine. So sometimes it is better to go slow. I guess it takes our stomachs a little while to get use to each fill. -

WannaBSkinnyB replied to mljalways's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think I have restriction. :laugh: Last night I was trying to get to my support group meeting and was running late. I decided to eat my canned green beans first while I was waiting for my fish to cook. I could not get them all down and it was only 1/2 cup. Could only take 3 bites of fish and I was done. Finally. They always take out the fluid on every fill to make sure how much is in there. So I asked why I am taking so long to get any restriction. She said I have a low BMI and my stomach may be small. She said I may need more to feel resticted. So I am excited to see how this week works for me and if I can lose. She did say I had lost 4 pounds since last week. I am not sure how correct that is since my scale says different. :ohmy: -
Everything I have eaten since this afternoon all feels stuck. I just had some peanut mm's and they felt all stuck. I know I am not suppose to be eating candy. I am not a candy eater but for some reason today I am craving sugar. Maybe TOM is around the corner.

OMG I went to eat dinner before the meeting and was waiting for my fish to cook so I thought I would eat my canned green beans first while I waited. They got stuck and I could only eat like 3 bites of fish. So I guess I have restriction, finally. So it will be interesting to see how this week goes. I can have another next monday then that is it until I get back from Hawaii. So I hope this one is it. I think we can only get .5 from now on. So are you going to this thursday meeting? I was looking for you tonight.

Yum your making me hungry. I would have eaten it all to. Don't beat yourself up too much. That is why we have the band. And as soon as we get some good restriction it will stop us from doing that. I ate a whole box of mac-n-cheese this weekend. Well I did have some fish with it. LOL. So I was kinda being good. But I know how you feel. It tastes good so we eat all we can. Hopefully once we get some good restriction it will keep us from doing that. Hang in there. Tomorrow is a new day. We are human after all.

2nd fill w/Realize band 6cc total no restriction
WannaBSkinnyB replied to betrthnever's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I am so glad I found this post. You all have given me hope. I went in today for my 4th fill. I am at 7.2 in a 10cc band. Still feel no restriction. So maybe my next one which is scheduled next monday will do the trick. I thought I was the only one that was not feeling anything. -
Tell Me the Bad Stuff
WannaBSkinnyB replied to monicapv's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was just banded in November. I don't know if I would do it again. I have still not lost anything. Always hungry. Went in today for my 4th fill. I am at 7.2 in a 10cc band. I finally had something get stuck this last weekend and the pain was so bad I thought I was going to pass out. And I have a high tolerence for pain. I can't have anything carbonated. To me right now it all seems like a huge waste with no difference in controlling my hunger. I am hoping that it is going to get better. Thank god I have a doctor that allows fills once a week. You may want to look into that. If you have a doctor that only allows you to get them every 6 weeks like some and have a hard time getting restriction you may not feel anything either for months. -

Good Luck Heather. I just got back from my 4th fill and feel no different. Came home hungry and ate, deli turkey, some chicken breast, 3 laughing cow cheese and some crackers. Had to stop cause I felt I was eating too much. Not because I was full. Already hungry again and it has only been 2 hours. UGH!!! I am getting so depressed how this just isn't working for me. I am at 7.2cc in a 10cc band. I don't get how so many can have restriction at so much less. Let me know how this fill goes for you.
