Hi there, my name is Bernadette and I had the lap band put in on April 26th and I have lost a total of about 20 lbs. which I think is good, except for the fact that I lost the first 15 the first 2 weeks after surgery when all you could eat/drink were fluids. I then lost another 5 while I was still on fluids and just switching over to solids. I just had my first fill on Friday and I had to have fluids for that day and then I could eat after that. I ate yesterday Saturday and today and I am really not full or feel any restriction whatsoever. I just wanted to know why? NEMC put in 1cc which I don't think is nearly enough. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I guess I just want quicker results, but if that was the case I probably should have had a bypass only I am only about 90 lbs. overweight and didn't want to do such drastic surgery. Thanks for listening. Bernadette LB 4/26/06 233/209/goal130:omg:

Hi again Boston Girl if you don't mind me asking...what is your real name? and do you have an email that I could just email you and we could respond that way? I don't know if you want to, but I thought seeing as we both got our band on the same day that that makes us "friends". Anyways...I can't believe I am almost at the 200 mark, but I keep saying how the heck did I get up that high. It's so gross when I think about the weight I gained. Oh, I also wanted to know what you eat on a daily basis to lose 2-3 a week? I haven't really lost since my 2 week. It's frustrating, but I know it will happen sooner or later. Well Boston Girl my other email is jbdaley98@msn.com email me there if you want.

Hi there BostonGirl, I was very happy to see your reply and that is just so weird that we were both banded the same day. WOW! What a small world. As for my fill and stuff I actually got a second fill last Friday and it was really good. Now I have 2cc in there and I actually felt like I did when I first got the surgery which is good, but sometimes if I don't chew my food to mush it gets stuck and boy is that a sucky feeling. :omg: Oh I don't know if I told you but I got my band at NEMC. They are great. Well, I wish you luck on your second fill. It is working so far for me. start weight/surgery/now/goal 233/230/209/145

Hi there Harley Girl, thanks for replying so fast. I guess I am just a little down about the hungry thing and how I actually went off my diet this weekend and just didn't eat the right things. I was doing great, but just had a little depression because of the rain and ate cookies, and just "bad" stuff. I will try not to beat myself up though and get right back on track tomorrow, Monday. Thanks again. Bernadette
