Hi Pipers

I have been stuck at the same weight for a while now. At least I am not gaining. (that's what I tell myself at least) I didn't get burps, but when I eat too much, I get a random hickup sensation. I was filled with 3 cc, and feel no restriction at all. I am going un later today for another fill, but I'm not sure how much he is going to put in. It has been really hard on me trying to stick to the eating plan with no restriction.

Hello Pipersfour. I'm glad you said hi. I was banded on 12/29, the same as you. I have lost a total of 21 lbs so far. The last week and a half with no loss I have my first fill scheduled for 2/10, and my doctor said until then to SLOWLY add normal food into my diet and keep a log about how I handle the different foods. Along with the normal cottage cheese and yogurt ect..., I have been able to eat all kinds of soups, really mushy noodles and tomato sauce, and even once a bean and cheese burrito. I have been really careful to chew and chew my food to make sure everything is really mushy before it goes down, and so far no problems. I think at this stage chewing is the key thing to learn. I often just want to swallow after 5 chomps.

I hope you write back and let me know how you are doing. Talk to you soon.
