I was in for a fill Yesterday and my Doc told me that he would prefer it if I ate 5 to 6 meals a day at 1/2 a cup at a time rather than 3 one cup meals. I am on the full liquids today because of the fill so I do not know how much I can eat yet....I was doing one cup meals 3 times a day....

I am so sorry that you are feeling so overwhelmed…But I do understand. I too had a lot of stress going on before my surgery also. I did not have much of a support system set up when I decided to have the surgery. Husband thought it was not necessary, I chose not to tell several members of my family because they would not be a positive support group for me. I was nervous, scared and started to doubt my own decision …. I had to do some deep digging into my sole….I had to remember why I was doing this and how it was going to change my life, my health, my wellbeing. I had to focus on me, me, me…By the time my surgery date rolled around it somehow all came together. After the surgery ….I am so grateful that I did it and since then I have filled in the rest of my family and they are being very supportive… You will be fine, focus on you….I wish you the best and cant wait to here from you when you are home and recovering.

Again WOW! I go in today for my first adjustment I am excited to see the changes...I have been bouncing between 203 and 206 the last week. I have noticed that I can eat a bit more than before. But I have really been watching what I put into my mouth...makes me a bit nervous because I could go for that piece of cake right now. But I refuse to give in. Thanks Again to all of you! :party:

I just wanted to say Wow! I was banded on May 14, 2009 and I am doing great I signed up on this site because I had so many questions I wanted to ask. Every time I loged in to ask a question some one has beat me to it....:cool: It is so nice to know that I am not alone out here and that every one is so nice and willing to help and support... Thank you all! Tracey

I would suggest talking to your Dietitian…I just had a meeting with mine and that was one of the issues that came up… She made it very clear to myself and two others in the room…IF YOU GO MORE THAN 3 WEEKS WITH NO WEIGHT LOSS “I” NEED TO SEE YOU!... But every situation is different and I wish you the best!

I had mine on Thursday May 14th, 2009...I milked it and went back the following Thursday one week later. I could have gone back sooner but I liked having some time to my self... Congratulations and best wishes!
