    Slow Losers - Unite!

    Hi everyone, I have only lost 40 lbs in Oct. I am a slow loser. Noww, I haven't lost anything in 2 months!! Has anyone experienced this? I exercise 5 days a week now and it doesn't seem to make any difference. My band is tight. What do you think is going on? I'd appreciate any comments you might have.

    Banded but not losing weight

    Hi, I got banded the end of Sept, 06 and have only lost 30lbs. It is very slow for me but at least my skin isn't droppy. But, no one told me that I still have to diet; that smaller portions won't do the job. I do eat so much less than before, but I don't lose weight just from that, like I thought I would. I don't eat junk, but I am just now realizing that I need to eat like "hard" food. Meat. That really fills me up within about 3-4 bites. Other things like cereal, crackers, chips, french fries, I can eat a ton of. So, if I stick to meat and veggies, I do fill up faster. I can eat alot of chili; softer things. I guess the bad news is that I still have to watch what I eat. I thought eating smaller portions would work but it doesn't. Good Luck!

    Do I need a fill?

    Hi All, What does it feel like to be "full"? I can eat 2-3 bites of protein and then it hurts really bad. Am I full or did I not chew it long enough? That is what I need to know? Thanks for anyone's input!!

    Too tight?

    Thanks for writing back! What is sliming? Is that when saliva just seems to fill up your mouth? And PB is productive burping? I have never had that but always get the hiccups along with the pain. What does it feel like to be full? How do you know? I want it to be like right after the surgery when I would feel totally full on just a tiny bit of soft food. Does this ever happen after more fills? Do I need more fills to get this feeling? Thanks for your help & info. I just had my surgery 6 weeks ago. Cherie

    Too tight?

    I had a fill of 1.5cc and it seems like I can eat just as much. I tried eating chicken and it hurt so bad and then after about 5 minutes I threw it up. What should I be eating? after throwing up I ate soft meat, cottage cheese, cereal, and never felt filled up. Shouldn't I feel filled?

    Newly banded 5 days ago

    Hi, I actually got my band there too! Dr. Michaelson. What a fantastic experience.!! It was like a spa. Do you go to the support meetings? I hope to go.
  10. Hi Everyone! I was banded last Thursday in Seattle, WA. What an incredible experience. It was so simple. I was home 4 hours after I left and never even had to take Advil for pain. I am glad to be a part of this forum.
