She was going at it blind, she has never mentioned flouro

My dr could not find the entrance to the port. Is this normal. She told me to start eating about 1200 calories a day and to come back in 2 months, so now I have to wait 2 months until I get another fill. I currently have only 3 cc in my band. Since starting the pre-op diet on June 14 I have only lost a total of 12 pounds and she was not happy with that, she said I should lose alot more. Any advice?

Hello all I was banded on June 29th and went for my post op appt on July 16th, I was not expecting a fill but my dr was like are you eating regular food? yes, are you hungry? yes then lets do a fill. It took several pokes for her to find my port but she ended up adding 3 cc's. I still do not feel restriction, she told me I wouldnt be getting a fill for a while and have another appt. Aug 9th. Should I call and move up my appointment as I am getting discouraged because I have only lost 3 pounds. Help?

So here is my dilema, I had surgery June 29th and then my mother in law passed away on July 2nd. I was doing well with my liquids until this happened. I started eating regular soft food on July 2nd because of the stress and then we had to travel to Mississippi for burial. I have not had any side effects (vomiting, sticking, etc) but was wondering if I could mess something up even if I feel fine. I am getting back on track as we are finally returning home tomorrow. I have still been losing weight. I am not looking for an excuse but someone who may have started the soft food early. For example I had some fish and mac and cheese for dinner. Any advice is helpful. Thanks!

I was also banded on June 29, 2010, I look forward to sharing my journey with you as well!
