Hi- I'm due for my second fill tomorrow. I am 6 weeks post surgery. I have lost about 20 pounds but feel like I could eat the house now. I dont even have to chew and have absolutely no restriction. I had 1cc. put in last Friday. I called today and they said come in tomorrow for more. How long does it take for some restriction to start developing. I am assuming I will get another cc tomorrow so my total will be 2cc's. My dr. said I have a size 10 band, whatever that means! I'm ready to be less hungry and see if this band works.:help: Hula

:heh: OK- I got my band on Sept. 13, 2006. Between the pre and post diet, I have lost about 20 pounds. However, I have not lost since I have been allowed more food which was 6 weeks ago! I seem to want to eat all the time. I have had 2 fills with 1cc each, so I'm at a total of 2cc's. I have another appointment right after Thanksgiving. But this is very depressing! I don't notice any restriction. I know I am drinking too much when I eat, but it is such a habit I'm haing a hard time breaking. Am I the only one in this boat? I want to lose at least another 40 pounds. This seems like a lot to go through to lose 20 pounds!!!!! Also, I'm not a very patient person, can you tell....... Hula

Yes, I have a terrible time drinking while eating. I think it is such a habit that's hard to break. I also think that is why I'm eating too much. I have 2cc's in a 4cc band and maybe need another fill.

Hi I'm new to the board. I am celebrating my one week anniversary of being banded. So far I think I am doing ok. I'll be glad to advance to more foods! I am still of soup broth, etc. Good luck to those of you who go tomorrow. The surgery was no problem. I was home in a few hours! Hula
