    I'm doing good.It will be 7 months for me on June 11th.I've lost about 60 so far.It has really slowed down for me the last couple of months.I think I need a fill and I really need to start exercising to get the rest of this weight off!! But so far so good,loving my band.It took me almost 2 years to get approved so be patient you'll get there too!! Good luck & best wishes,any ques feel free to ask!! Teal :)

    Hey Nessa, I'm 6 1/2 months out and am experiencing the same thing..I have 5.25 cc's in a 10cc band.I'm due for a fill in like a week but man do I need it.I'm hungry & wanting to snack all the time.I do feel I can eat way too much food too...So I dont really know the answer but just wanted you to know your not alone!! Hang in there!!:thumbup:

    Thanks for the pic comments & your right I feel SO much better & am alot happier.Dont be nervous everything will be fine.I tried for almost 2 years to get my surgery so I was very ready when I finally got it! The recovery was a llittle rough for me,but everyone is different,some people bounce right back.Just take your time to heal & let your body rest.That's what I did.I think I was off work 4 or 5 weeks and after 2 weeks I was feeling alot better.It is an adjustment I wont lie and u will have your times especially early on where you'll be like "what did I do to myself?" but then as the weight starts to come off u will be feeling so much better.Any ques.feel free to ask!! Take care,good luck & keep me posted!! Teal :)

    I'm 6 months out and have alot of gas too........I agree it is embarassing especially in public!! I thought of buying some Beano or whatever those other gas products are........any advise would be great...I do use alot of splenda so maybe that is the problem too??Keep "tooting" along!! lol

    I'm 6 months out and have been losing alot of hair.But my hair was thinning to begin with.It looks like maybe it's slowing down and I see little baby hairs starting to pop back up.So maybe I'm on the upward swing now!! I would LOVE to have thicker,prettier hair than before like some of you talk about that would be great!! But I'm ok because all the thick pretty hair in the world didn't cover my fat body!! lol :lol:Take care everyone!!

    Mom2two,What happened to make your band slip?(if you know)Wow I'm sorry your having to go thru all this.I saw you had to have a port revision too,man that is tough! Hang in there I hope everything gets much better really soon for you!!

    2flyguys, I think your smart to avoid junk food.I'm 6 months out and have slowly started to allow myself junk food again and it has been all bad! Moderation was never my strong suit so I cant stop when I get started so for me it's better not to even get started. It's funny because I too have a good friend who did RNY 2 weeks before me and she still eats the same as she did before surgery just much much less.And I'm over here trying to eat salad and fruit and be good and she's eating chicken taco's & Wendy's everyday and kicking my butt in the weightloss department.I've really had to remind myself why I did what I did.And tell myself this is my journey & my choices and she can do whatever she wants! It's hard though when you watch someone else when seems to be "getting away with eating bad" and your struggling!! But anyway I think your on the right track and doing great just listening to your body and do what feels right for you!!

    I'm 6 months out and have lost 60 lbs.I have 5.25 cc's in my band.Somedays I'm restricted and can eat normally other days I feel out of control and can eat WAY to much!! I feel like I'm losing steam and eating way to much stuff that I should not eat.Does it sound like I need a fill or just a swift kick in the butt?? I want to keep going but it's hard somedays...any advice??
  21. lacasst
    Thanks for the heads up! Your right,sometimes it is slider foods but sometimes it's solid food too....So I think it's a combo of maybe needing a slight fill and also using some good old fashion restraint!! lol :tongue2:My doc has been very slow with my fills the last one I felt pretty good restriction at first and then lately I'm like wow I can eat that?? so I dont know if I lost some of myrestriction or I'm just pushing the limit's!! But thanks for the advice it really helps.......your doing a great job btw!!:frown:
  22. lacasst

    Your doing good too!! We had surgery the same day,that's cool.Let's keep track of eachother since were in similar places!! Take care & keep up the hard work!! Teal :)

    Thanks guys for the words of wisdom!! Yah I did lose almost 30 lbs off the start and the last couple of months has been 4-5 lbs a month...I know I really need to get serious about exercising and realize the weight is not just going to magically fall off..(darn it!!) lol :frown: I think I've just slipped slowly back into some of the old habits!! I'm starting fresh today to pull back in the reigns!! Thanks for all the help..Good luck to you guys too!!:thumbup:
