Just had my third fill and I finally am feeling some restriction with 5 cc's in a 10 cc band.But what I'm wondering is what's an average weightloss per month for someone at a good level of restriction? Also is it better to"go for it" and get filled as quickly & as often as you can? or is it better to ride it out slowly & carefully,even if the weightloss is slower?? Hope this posts make's sense!!:tongue_smilie:I'm trying decide if I want more of a fill next time or if I should ride it out??

I know at my surgeon's office the nurse did tell me it could take up to 2 weeks to really feel the fill but this is my third fill and the first time that this has happened.I'm not complaining either!! :thumbup:

Ok this is so weird all of a sudden last night like 2 1/2 weeks after my last fill I got tighter restriction out of nowwhere? I was eating a bowl of cereal and I dont know if I ate too much or what but I was so over-full,uncomfortable & in so much pain.It was really bad.After that finally passed I wasn't even hungry the rest of the night.I figured I just over did it even though I never really experienced that quite so severe.But then this morning I'm trying to eat my yogurt that I always eat and halfway thru I'm like I have to stop eating this.......so I think maybe my fill is really starting to take effect?? that's great but it kinda scared me how it just came on all of a sudden! Thanks for the heads-up!!:thumbup:

I pretty much experienced the same thing.....I had an overweight relative ask me if I was pretty much where I wanted to be?? and I thought "not hardly,I'm just getting started,I got another 40 to go!" I think it intimidates some people to see others suceed!! Do what's best for you,it's your body!!:welldoneclap: -

Wow you can tell a big difference already!! -
BgB9, No that plan sounds great,I wish my office had something that specific & detailed.I think I'll ask to meet with the nutritionist again.I tried to do weight watchers and found it hard to work the points and get enough protein.So whoever said alot of these diet plans are not complelety cohesive after WLS was right!:scared2: So I'm back to trying to eat all my protein and monitering portion size and smart choices....BTW I would kill to be losing 10 lbs a month that is awesome!!

Thanks for the advice guys!!:scared2:

Hey there...when things get stuck for me or I pb it's usually because I'm eating too fast or I've gone too long in between eating and I'm scarfing and not chewing well enough.Chicken has not been my friend from the start I've always done better with ground beef.But since my last fill I've pb'd and thrown up crackers,bread & lunchmeat.......so I dont know if that helps at all but sometimes it varies from day to day........:thumbup: I've really tried to slow down but it's hard.Sometimes I ca tell by the way the texture of something feels in my mouth whether it's going to go down or not and sometimes I just spit it out! Crazy!!:scared2:

I eat cottage cheese too.....I like it with peaches on top.I found I think it's Del monte makes pre-package low sugar or sugar free peaches in syrup with only 25 calories they are very good.I think I'll try it with jam,that sounds good!!:scared2:

Congrats on your surgery!! And welcome to the land of the "loser's"!! -
Try not to be scared just keep positive and think of all the great things that are in store for you!! I'm almost 5 months out and loving my band!! I've lost almost 60 lbs and am feeling great. It hasn't always been the easiest journey but it is one that I would definitely take again.My family too was worried & had concerns but they have really come around.Sometimes we have to put ourselves first and do what is best for us!! Because we deserve to be happy too!!:confused: Keep your chin up and things are going to be just great,you'll see!!

That is so cool! Good for you! I cant wait to get to the other "skinny" side too! I'm just enjoying being out of the "plus" stores and not having the sales clerks look at you like why are you shopping in the regular size stores!!You look really good w/o having to have any surgery,I hope I come out as well too.
