    Hey February 2010 Bandsters!

    wanna be fit@40 replied to Northern Mist's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums

    Hey everyone, It has been a long time since on here early June was the last time. I had band placed 2 -4-10 and am down 30 lbs. I have had 3 fills, but it is soooo slow coming off. I read other peoples weight loss and feel like a big failure...... but must say slow and steady, have done some cheating, so I cant complain. I need to walk more too. Im sooo stressed and that does not help I guess.......Good luck everyone......:party:

    wanna be fit@40 replied to dees-only-girl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I know exactly how you feel. I am 2 1/2 months post op and have only lost 20 pounds. I had 2 fills and am not due for another fill till May. I feel like this is not working as fast as I thought it would. I keep going up and down with the same 1-2 pounds. Sooooo damn angry and wonder wtf??? I have to admit, I have ate a bit more than I should, and some of the wrong things...I get so hungry some times!! I'm glad to read people are having some of the same issues. I want this to happen sooooo much faster than it is. I get frustrated when I read here someone who had surgery around the same time I did and they have lost 40 or more pounds, wtf????? Please let this work for me, I need to get back on track, or another fill???? Any advice please, best wishes to all...............:thumbup:

    Hi everyone! Hope everyone is well. I finally did eat and it was ok. I just feel full faster, kinda short of breath in the sternum area so I know to stop eating. Does that make any sense?? Betsy: Thanks for always having kind and helpful things to say, you are a blessing to have in this journey!! I'm cooking ham , cheesy, potatoes, green rice, a fruit cocktail fluff and carmel pecan pie, and of course, colored hard boiled eggs!!! oh and dinner rolls, cant forget them!! Sounds yummy, but protein only, I guess..... Have a Blessed Easter everyone...............Laura:thumbup:

Doc said wow, you need a fill, looking under floro, so I guess I really didnt have any restriction....... Will see how it goes, I have not ate anything solid yet so......

    Hey February 2010 Bandsters!

    wanna be fit@40 replied to Northern Mist's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums

    Hello. I know how you feel, I had band placed 2-9-10. I am at a 20pound loss so far. I have had 1 fill on 3-3 and am having another this friday 4-2. I have 3.7 cc in an 11 cc realize-c band. I have NO restriction and it has been so hard, but if my scale is correct , I have lost 7 pounds since the last fill. We will see what dr's scale says on friday. I really hope to have more restriction , I want to feel like I am really going to have success with this band. I have had some good advice come from this site and remember, we did not gain overnight, so we will not lose it overnight. Slow and steady, now I just need to practice what I preach!!! Have a super day and a super Easter!!!!

Please help me get back on track!!! I am 6 weeks post op and feel like , did I hurt my pouch or if I can eat anything, without any problem, is something wrong???
  17. wanna be fit@40
    Had my first fill, 4cc in an 11cc band on March 3rd. I felt restriction for about 1 week or so, and now I feel like if I did not stop at 4oz. of food I could keep eating! I feel like I will NEVER EVER last till April 14th for my next fill. Does anyone else feel like this? I lost 4 more pounds after the fill, but nothing now. My Dr. says 6 weeks in between fills, so??............ Any ideas or comments please. Im very frustrated !!:wink2:
