Lapband LaLa

Funny that you got a comment from Band_Groupie. I just responded to her as well. You guys know being a woman with hormones that have their own brain makes a difference. Could be one little hormone who is holding you up. Relax, she will jump back in line. Scale Whore....GIGGLE...I needed that laugh today

Your a woman....our bodies do weird things. I really would not stress over it. Hormones can be a bitch.

Did I over do it? I had a fill this past Tuesday. I now have 6cc's in my 10cc band. I was able to eat more than a cup before with 5.5cc and was not hungry between meals. But now with 6cc's I can only take a few bites or a few sips of something. I am not in any pain. I am not PBing or sliming. I do feel tight after a few bites. So I am eating SLOWLY and gently. I am on soft foods until this weekend but I think I may have to stay on soft foods for a few more days. Literally after a few bites I am FULL. And then my throat, tummy makes all these weird noises. Not sure what to think after all this. :biggrin: ________________________________ UPDATE: It's been four days now and I am as tight as can be. I can only get 3 or 4 bites in, then I feel like I have eaten to much. I remember when I had my 2nd fill I was tight for about two weeks, then it's slowly loosened. I am going to try and get through this and if two weeks pass and I still can't get anything down, then see the doctor.:sad: On a good note....I've lost the additional 2lbs so I have hit the magic 50lbs!:thumbup:

Today I had my 3rd fill. I am now at 6cc's. I had pretty good restriction with 5.5cc but I think this is going to do it for me! My doctor's office said I was a rock star! Yes I am tooting my own horn. He said the average lapband patient loses 50lbs in a year and here I am just at 48lbs in almost 12 weeks. Boy....am I proud. I am very happy I have put the work into my band that needed to be done. Next week my new bellydancing classes start! I am also looking into Zumba classes. Variety will help me reach my goal.:thumbdown: I love my band!:thumbup:

Mr. Wilson will be just fine and because you stood firm yet gentle, it kinda made it hard for him to be a hard butt. (smile) Might have lit his lightbulbs too! I wish you much love and happiness

I am so very happy for you. I was banded May 21st and I have lost 45lbs. Exercise is now a part of my monday-friday routine. I feel better, I think I look better and I am happy I made the decision. So come on over girl....let's have some fun.

I took a full week off. I am glad I did...because I'd be in mid-sentence and fall asleep! Giggle. I had trouble with the ansthesia too! Welcome to the other side....it's beautiful here

Grab you some fun belly dancing videos! Or...grab some "Walk Away the Pounds" tapes. Those are fun and you can do them from home!

I am so happy for you! I currently have 5.5cc's in a 10cc band. I have some restriction but I go in for my third fill this coming Tuesday. I have a feeling I am going to be dead on for my sweet spot. Right now I've lost 45lbs in 11 weeks. I don't get hungry between meals but I can eat a little more than a cup. I am very proud of myself. It is a live change and I am loving it. Buying shoes and a few outfits so I can look "fly" while the scale goes down. It feels wonderful and I am glad we can share our joy here!

Well, I dropped a few more pounds. I have now lost a total of 45lbs in 11 weeks. I have been working my butt off (no pun intended) on the treadmill for the last few weeks because I have had clients in the evenings and have not been able to do other things at the gym. My treadmill at home has been my lifesaver. I have kicked up the treadmill routine quite a bit. Lots of inclines and even jogging! Whew! I PB'd for the first time last Sunday. Not fun but it was totally my fault. I was rushing to meet a client and ate too darned fast. It was over in 10 minutes but dang.... I go in for my third fill on August 11th. Not sure I will need many more cc's. Right now I am good. I can eat a little more than a cup but I don't get hungry in between meals. Someone told me in chat that I am already at my sweet spot. So I guess I will discuss that with my doctor next week. My husband has booked our trip to Hawaii at the end of November and I am SOOOOOO looking forward to it. I can see myself walking those beautiful beaches and really not being concerned about my weight. What a freeing thought! I had wonderful Aloha dreams last night. I went shopping last night with a friend and got this ADORABLE outfit that I will be wearing tomorrow. Shopping is FUN now. I try not to buy much since I am going down in sizes. Maybe one or two just for business purposes. I even tried on some really cool shoes. I was shocked to see they fit. Guess my feet are losing weight too. Did not buy them though. Lord I can't pay $69 for some shoes! Maybe later.:frown: I hope to take a good photo of me in it so I can post. I feel better, I look better and I am still very happy I made the decision to be banded.

In this case, the grass has been greener on this side. I am so happy for you and I wish you much luck on this journey! I am loving it!

I got numbed the first time. That nurse did not exactly know where my port was and she poked me a few times so I was glad for the numbing. My second fill, no numbing but that nurse assisted with my surgery so she went straight to it and it was over. No need for numbing. So as long as the assisting nurse is the one filling I am cool!
