I am same way.I have been sitting on my weight for last month.I did loose quite abit 40lbs.Dr said it takes while for body to resize.I am due for my second fill this Friday.I have 14cc band.I had my firsr fill last month.Did not do much.I am hoping I get a big dose this week as well.Hang in there.This is long journey.Keep it healthy and not get discouraged.:wink:

I have 14cc band.Tomorrow I have appointment to get 4 cc fill.Hope all goes well.This is my first as well.:thumbup:

Hello fellow bandsters. I just found out by my doctor that I have 14cc band.Trying to find out from others .How much CC's did most the folks fill to get comfortable restricted feel.I understand it differs from person to person.Just trying to see if majority have same restrictions with fills.I was told my frist fill would be 4cc's.Currenlty I can eat a cow.:thumbup:

Its been three months for me.I have yet to get any fillings.Now I feel my hunger has grown.Could be since I have increased my cardio.I honestly have been really good with the food that I eat.I figured if I take it easy on normal days .I can really enjoy food when there is party or during outtting.I use cereal for snacks during day and late nights.I guess I should get atleast one fill done.I do have some days when food gets stuck,I guess I need to slow down and chew througly.I stay away from white bread and red meat.

Hi All, Can you all give an update.It is 90days post op.I have lost 25lbs so far.Still have yet to get my first tighting.Just have not been up to it.Been struglling with hunger.Has anyone had food stuck,Usually early in the monring.It never happened to me,but lately been having it frequently.Can you all post you progress. :confused:

I have been doing all soughts of soups.Egg drop,hot and sour,chicken corn,lentil.I just use grider to make it all liquid.Little salt and pepper and it goes down pretty smooth.I use Whey protien shake,Add one scope to 8oz skim milk and add a banana.That really fills you up.Dont feel hunrgy all day .Sip water all day helps as well.Dont feel as much tired like I did last week.I have to see my Dr this coming wednesday to start mushys.Does anyone still have pain where the port is.I cannot get good nite sleep since I have to sleep on my back.I am so use to sleeping on sides.

Hi Guys, I am also Aug 31st bandster.Things have been going pretty smooth so far.Been drinking a lot of liquids.Added V8,soups and protien drinks to my list.Walking is def helping and keeps thing move smoothly.Could not get a good night of sleep since I am use to sleeping on my side and due to surgery I could not.Now fifth day and it seems all th pain has slowed down .Keep posting your detials of recovery. :sneaky:
