Thanks Bkwalling! I must say I'm going to have to get used to this. I can't really eat much AT ALL now.. At least before I could eat more than 2 - bites! It's ok... I'll never complain about losing weight! ~Sassy

Okie Dokie! Guess what Ladies?! I got my fill today! .9ccs and I just tried to eat a CUP of cereal and I can't eat it. I figured that'd pass for mushy foods since the milk had settled in. At any rate, I hope to start losing again! Hope everyone is doing well on this grand Monday! LOL... (I TOTALLY was being sarcastic) ~Sassy

TO MY LADIES - Guess what girls?! I called my doctor today. I told on the losers at that facility he sent me to! HA! Guess what? I WILL get my fill Monday and he is sending me to a class to make sure I'm on track and help me with anything that I don't understand or need! I'm sooooooooo happy! YEAH for me! I taddled and it got me where I need to be! ~Sassy

Banannie - Great! Glad to know that! I was a thinking it was just me! I'm going to go back and attempt to get my second fill. I'm realizing that whole situation played out wrong from the beginning! They didn't even weigh me! Just called me in, asked a question and sent me on my way. ~Sassy

Quick question: Am I the only one that's haing to get fills with no numbing agent? Just found out others are being numbed. Please respond before I get really upset for nothing! ~Sassy

Step and Nat - I trul don't know and she WAS the "surgeon". She asked y i felt I needed one and i told her... "I don't know.. just know it's been a month and I was only given 2.2ccs last time" She told me if she filled me again I'd be overfilled but when i thought about it yesterday.. she's the SAME individual that told me I'd need to come back cause that wasn't much! This is RIDICULOUS! And while i'm not completely following the rules... I felt the fill might still be an issue. So... I've decided to get BCK on track and follow ALL of the rules. We'll see where i get with this and go from there! ~Sassy

Hey Ladies! Just checking in with u all! Ok so... this is the time i need someone to log in and tell me about all the goodies like the protein supplements and all that stuff! I went to get a fill and the lady said it was too early.... I sooooooo think she should have given me what i came for! Im sooooo hungry but i just can't eat a lot.. WAIT.. does that warrant a fill or just the need to "get out and do something"? O well. I know I'm rambling but.. someone... anyone... help! ~Sassy

OMG! I'm so glad someone else said somethng first! i was JUST thinking.. wow.. it's finally over! He's G O N E!!! While i can't say I laughed *hehe* I did find myself smiling inside to know the REAL competition can NOW begin! ~Sassy

Awww! I love u guys! I was feeling so down and was soooo reluctant to come here because I'd been gone for so long but u guys are the best! I cooked tonight and I WILL be heading to the gym in a few hours... just ate so... Anyway... I'm feeling better and I thank u all! You've come through for me! ~Sassy

Thanks Steph and Nat! I actually went in today for a fill but was told to wait. I still have restriction. Trust me.. that's not the problem! The problem is ME stuffing the WRONG foods down my trap! I'm going to start doing better and I will definitely get back on the LB Bandwagon TODAY! I'm glad to be back and I missed talking to u all! Pray for me! And I will do the same for you all! ~Sassy

Hey Ladies! I'm back. I haven't weighed myself in like... 3 weeks. I've been sooooooooooo busy and I admit I haven't been taking care of myself as i should. Any encouraging words? I also need to get back on track with the foods. Although I still have restriction, Im not eating the best. Do I still need to go in for another fill? Anyway... sorry so many questions! O... and how are you all?! ~SLNP

Hey all! Im back. I have a question... am I the only one that has a great week of feel mega slim and then one day u look in the mirror and think "blah"? Maybe it's just me. lol... Anyway... about the party, I had a LOT of fun! Saw all of my old friends and met some new! I enjoyed everybit of it!

Hey Ladies! I just got returned from the gym and I soooo great! Hey StephC and VA... I don't weight myself because I'm afraid of what I might see. I don't gve myself enough credit. It's like I'm not paying attention to all the clothes I'm getting into or how great i feel or how much catch myself staring in the mirror.. i only think about how hard i used to work and never got any results... so.... with that said... don't look at it in a good way! lol... I need to be like y'all. So how has everyon'e day gone? I'm going to a party tonight and have some NEW cute clothes to wear! YES! lol ~Sassy

Ok, so i'm checkin in ladies! I have to admit I have YET to weigh myself. I just don't think Im ready.. However, :roll: I've been shopping and I'm loving every bit of it! I've grilled twice this week (fish) and eaten tuna the other days. I'm trying to stay on track. I'll be back at the gym tonight and I'm anxious! Everything's looking up for me and I'm just sooo proud to be a bandster! Yeaaaa for all of us! :clap2: ~SLNP

Hello Ladies! Just checking in this morning. I keep forgetting I have to day off today because of president's day! So I'm up early! Yesterday I purchased a grill and my fiance' grilled fish for me! It felt so great to cook at home and not have to go out to restaurant for it... we've never grilled before. I'm attempting to come on here daily because i need that support. I was banded in December and I still feel a little lost. So bear with me and if I happen to fall off after about two days... lol... I haven't strayed of course but I might need a little guidance. I've only lost 20lbs do far. Maybe i shouldn't say only... but compared to the rest of you I'm far behind! Anyway, you ladies have a great day! ~SLNP

VA - I don't know! They never told me and a lot of ppl have been asking me. What are the different sizes? I almost forgot to even ask how much got until she voluntarily told me about the 2.2cc. ~Sassy

OK everyone! I'm back! I got my first fill and it was 2.2cc. What's y'alls take on this? Is this too much or not enough for a first fill? I'm feeling great at the moment. I was STARVING earlier but I'm ok now. Hope everyone's having a great day! ~Sassy

Hey Ladies! I go in today for my fill and Im STARVING! I BELIEVE she said i can't eat for 4 hours before the fill.. UGH! Is there a certain amount I should ask for or do they TELL me what I'm getting? Give me some feed back ladies! I'll be an officially filled bandster by 1 today! ~Sassy

bkwalling- sorry to hear that! So a 1cc is that powerful where u can't really eat at all? I go in Moday. I was supposed to get this fill like.. 3 weeks ago. I've just been so busy. Plus I have to drive to hurst toget it. That doesn't make it any better. VA- I've been experiencing the same thing with a pulling sensation. I don't feel it all the time but moreso when I'm in the bed and switch from on side to the other. I was banded 12-6-06 so maybe we're still sore. *shrugs* i don't know. Hope it gets better with time! Sassy

Anyone here? I just got back from the gym... it's been a while since i've been there and if felt great! Yay for me! (i'd been doing step exercises at home previously.)

Thanks ChubbyGirl! Thanks to my other bandbuddy, beversman, i've found a new site to help me. Between that and this site i think Im in good shape. Does anyone go to lapband support groups/meetings? SLNP

Hey guys I'm back... Just wanted to check in and get some support! I was banded December 6th and have lost only 15 lbs. I have yet to get my first fill because of work and school. I'm scheduled to go in on Monday and am hoping this will help with my weightloss. I hear once you get it it's like the first day post-op. Is this true? Any encouraging words for me?! I'm definitely not giving up.. just wanting to know if there's someone out there just like me! Thanks! SLNP

I'm back! It's been a while but I'm happy to say I'm doing well! Thanks for the message beversman! So far I've lost 10 lbs, maybe even more by now! Anywho, just wanted to check in! ~SLNP

Welp guys... I go in tomorrow morning! I'm uber excited! Wish me luck! Anything I should know before tomorrow? Should I stuff my nightstand with anything or will I be up and walking the same day? Thanks!

Hello Nathalie, Yes I go in at 6:30 am on Wednesday! Surprisingly, I'm not nervous at all! I'm very happy! Yes, I am on a pre-op diet. It consists of two protien drinks a day and two meals a day. One meal with grains the other with 1 green veggie and 1 lean meat. It's really not that bad! O, and yes, I'm in Plano, Texas!
