shandy im so sorry that you are having a ruff time with this, but i must say you should be so proud of yourself for having the courage to come on here and share your experience with us. I really admire you for recognizing your problem and being proactive in fixing it. So many of us myself included have a tendency to hide the truth from our own selves but you put it out there for everyone to see and i can see why you are and will continue to be a sucess with the band. Bravo. Also for those who feel ashamed of gaining weight back , or eating more, or not exercising enuff etc etc .... We really need to be more forgiving of ourselves, becuz we are only human we are bound to slip and make mistakes, the only thing anyone should be ashamed of is not picking ourselves back up and trying again no matter how many time we fall down. One thing that has really really helped me is telling myself that no food is off limits everything is about PORTION CONTROL and EXERCISING DAILY. Again shandy and ev1 else thank you for putting yourself out there for us newbies its greatly appreciated. shireen:D

Hi Everyone, I had my surgery august 25th and i am down 45lbs. I had my 3rd fill a week ago monday and i now have 6.5 cc in a 10cc band and i can definately feel a difference. I definately have to measure my portions which i admit i wasnt that strict with, but after several pbing, and full out vomiting episodes i figured it was way past time LOL. Depending on what i am eating i can still eat more than i should but i have really buckled down and with this last fill i dont feel like im starving in between meals. Nicole i hope this next fill will do the trick for you. I wish everyone luck . peace shireen
