I am a slow loser. I was plateaued for many mo. I am not at goal i have 30 lbs to go. With that said it is 10 above the charts that was done in the 1960's!! Wendy

Hi congrats being newly banded. It is true everyone is so different. I didnt get restriction after my first few fills. Each time i was filled was like a first for every food. Your food tolerance will be different so i advice i can give you is chew chew chew, eat slowly and really listen to your body. I myself do not eat rice, pasta or bread. I haven't eaten a sandwich in over 2 yrs. If i choose to eat sushi i can only eat 1 piece with the rice, so i usually remove the rice. Bottom line you may notfeel restriction but be aware the food may change. good luck wendy

Woohoo

Or you could need an unfill. Wendy

2yrs out add me and lean away

go to the chat and you can get a whole lot of info and support wendy

My experience is get some taken out you are to tight. Often we are afraid to do that because we are afraid we will gain. As someone said to tight you don't loose. Good luckWendy

If one thing i learned it is everyone is different. Some days i can get 1/2 a piece of toast. I can get down 3-4 crackers and thats my limit. I love the canned chicken. I suggestion is try it at home first. Good luck Wendy

you can add me wendy2317

so i got 2.75 out of my band was crazed. I gained 3 lbs. My doc wouldn't do a fill for 10 weeks. You can do it. It sucks but what I did was journaled everyday and chat on this website. I also made sure to exercise and drink water. I measured all foods. I was very happy only 3 lbs in 10 weeks. Now healed i got 2cc put in and starting again. Good luck Wendy

Banded FEB 2010. Had a fill in Jan of last year and was fine until this past Nov. Had reflux night coughing. Couldn't keep anything down I need an bit of an unfill. Some other issues too. I was better as soon as the doc took some out. waiting for a fill next week. Go to your dr asap. Wendy

Woohoo for you!!! Great job keep up the good work

Unfortunately every band is different so there is no set foods. I myself can not eat raw veggies anymore. Fruits are a challenge too. Rice pasta a most breads are not good either. left over chicken and meat are out too. Wendy

walk around , up stairs,. if that doesn't help let it come up or try paypa tablets. They some times work. wendy

So next weekend I will be celebrating my 2nd bandaversiry. I still have 30 lbs to go.I was hoping to be at goal weight not maintaining like my dr says i am. I had some issues recently with my band having it come over the sides. I had reflux, vomiting and nite coughing. They took 2.75 out. All of the symptoms disappeared immediately. I took another ugi last week and band was almost perfect. I went back to the dr and expected a fill and he told me it was a 10 week process, come back in 4 weeks and we will start putting back in. I gained 2 lbs in 6 weeks cause i am eating more cause i am hungry. To top things off i dislocated my shoulder on New years day so no weight training, no trainer just walking and treadmill. IS MY BODY TRYING TO TELL ME SOMETHING?? So the positives are I only gained two pounds. I am still a size 12 lbs. Lost 80lbs So all in all i should be happy. Intellectually i am but emotionally I want those cheese puffs to soothe myself (old habits...). Just feeling sorry for myself. Thanks for reading my bit**ing and moaning. Wendy

good luck. I think they are just looking for the list and verification from your dr wendy

Thank you both. Support is the as you know.

Thanks. I can only do little bit of salad. I have been journaling that's prob why only 2 lbs. I have some chick pea snack recipes i am going to try. I just went shopping and glad to say the cheese puffs stayed at the store with her friends potato chips and corn chips!! Wendy
