    no restriction! how many cc's did it take you?

    It took 5 fills for me. I am at 10.4 cc's in a 14 cc band. Finally steadily losing weight at a slow pace, but very consistent.

    Feb.23rd Peeps!!! Well Feb. Period...

    Great job on your loss! I was banded February 16th. I have lost 41.4 lbs at this point. I have a 14cc band with 9.4cc's in the band. I have had 2 fills. I have pretty good restriction now, but plan to get my 3rd fill in about 3 weeks. Keep up the good work
  7. Your doing great, I actually gained weight before my first fill, but I have been doing well since. My loss has slowed to 1 pound a week but I am good with that. At first I also had the same concern about this being a failed diet but once I started getting fills and had restriction, then I knew I could do it, I'm sure it will be the same for you. Remember don't minimize you success, 33 pounds is a bunch!

    Hey February 2010 Bandsters!

    Hey February 2010 Bandsters. I hope everyone is doing well. Just wanted to update you on my progress. I am down a total of 33 lbs including the pre-op. 15 of those since Surgery day. I am feeling great and have gotten into a good routine with daily fitness. My first fill will be on Monday and I am anxious to see how that experience goes. I wish you all the best and hope your band is being good to you! Christopher 3/18/2010 - 290.8 lbs
  9. Hi Leigha

    Thanks for checking on me. I have been busy and haven't made time to get online the past few weeks. Also I kinda had a standstill for a couple of weeks and I was a little embarrassed I guess to check in and update my progress. I am about 4.5 weeks out and havent had much restriction the past couple of weeks. However, I have really been able to stay on track with healthy eating and exercising at least 5 days a week. I am down a total of 33 lbs since the pre-op diet period, and down 15 lbs since surgery day. So I feel good and will be having my first fill Monday morning. I had to readjust my expectations, because they were unrealistic with what I should lose initially.. but I am pleased with my progress so far. I think in the back of my mind I still fear that it will be like prior diets and I will fall off of the bandwagon and gain it back, but I am determined to prevent that from happening.

    Thanks again for checking on my progress. I hope all is well with you!

    Hey Everyone, I am sure most of you have already discovered this, but YouTube has some great lap-band journey videos. I decided to start posting too - just as an additonal tool for accountability - nothing like seeing yourself on video. My channel is ONEDERLANDER if you want to check my first post out - no laughing :-) It was my first time and I was a little nervous Let me know if any of you guys have channels - I would love to subscribe.

    Betsy, Thanks for the tip on bandasticmeals.com. I checked out their website after your post and placed an order! It is very reasonable and wow - so easy.. I will let everyone know how they taste!
  15. Thank you. That is funny - you do it in a very diplomatic way :-) I am adjusting well so far. I do really like Dr. Kim! Is that who did your band?
