Just a question for those of you at a good restriction level feel like you have to actively "diet" to lose weight?? For example are you fighting off hunger,having to stop yourself from eating too much,fighting cravings for sweets?? or is it much easier than that for you?? I'm just curious......

hey there sorry u got too tight,that must have been scary & very uncomfortable.Just take it slow I'm sure your body needs the time and your so on track with weightloss u can approach it slowly...I know why mu weightloss is slow I kinda have gotten into a funk cheating & eating ice cream & starbucks and things I dont really need.Plus not wanting to exercise!! My surgeon also told me they dont like to fill the band much past 6 cc's?? I'm at 5.5 cc's right now so I was kinda like what??? I have to find out more about that!! Have you ever heard of that?? I need to find my motivation again..we've been going thru alot with my family so that's been hard,u can relate to that but it's not an exuse to be bad but it happens.
Anyway take care of yourself and go slow filling up! Your doing such a great job with your weightloss.Hang in there & I will too!! Teal

Hey there,that's great that your working out...it really shows in the pic's!! I gotta find some motivation somewhere to work out! I kinda got a lecture from my nurse about my slow weightloss...so that kinda stunk!! But I needed I guess!
How come you needed an un-fill?? What happened??are u ok??I'll remember to say a prayer for your Mom.Hopefully they can get everything with this surgery that would be so great..I'm sure your Mom is so proud of you and you of her...Hang in there with everything girl!!Lots of thoughts & prayers coming your way!!

Why would you do gastric bypass if you could lapband?
lacasst replied to CBoeher's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Amen on the discipline part!! I'm really starting to realize how much work this band does require!! Great job btw Jodi on almost being to goal!!!!!! -
I dont know if this is personal preference from my surgeon?? I need to ask more questions??
-
I guess I need to ask what the reasoning behind this is huh??:redface:

My band is a 10 cc but they told me it can hold up to 9 cc's but my surgeon does not like to fill beyond 6cc's?? I was curious as to why also?? I know being too tight can cause serious problems........
-
I'm doing pretty good too,thanks for asking!We started out at almost the same weight,that's funny.I just had my fifth fill yesterday for a total of 5.5 cc's so hopefully this will be a good fill level for me as I'm kinda stuck at 199! My surgeon informed me yesterday that she doesn't like to fill much past 6 cc's?? So I'm like great,I hope this gets me moving again!! Take care & keep in touch!! Teal

Hey there! What was your staring weight if you dont mind me asking?? You are looking so great,man what a big difference already!! Way to go!! Teal

U look GREAT!! -
I'm confused! I just got my 5th fill today for a total of 5.5 cc's in a 10 cc band.The nurse was kinda of lecturing me because I had only lost a couple of pounds since my last visit 1 1/2 month ago.She said they really dont like to fill people much beyond 6 cc's?? and I should really try to maximize my weightloss at a lower fill level?? It seems like other's here have much more than 6cc's?? Any advice???

want the band he recomends gastric(yikes)
lacasst replied to smitten4u's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
smitten4u,Hey there I went to the surgeon with an open mind but was leaning more toward bypass or sleeve and HE recommended lapband 4 me! I had severe IBS prior to wls and he was afraid gastric would/could make that worse that was a chance I was not willing to take.Plus ultimately I was scared to death to do bypass.I've lost 60 lbs in 6 months and am doing great!! I wouldn't change anything in the world.I will tell u it will not be as quick of a weightloss as bypass but I feel in the long run it will be healthier 4 me.Good luck I know it's scary but do what feels right 4 u!! Take care!! -

Dang girl!! u look great!! -
I thought the inability to drink water or pain doing so was a tell-tale sign that something is wrong?? I'd definitely call your Doc and insist to be seen! It's your body dont live in pain!! Good Luck & keep posted so we know your ok!!
