thanks so much, you are awesome and so sweet! im sorry you are having slow weightloss. have you worked with your docs to figure out why?
i needed an unfill because i was too tight for almost 2 months, but instead of taking out a lot we just kept taking out .5cc every time and there was no effect. i started getting back pain every time i ate or drank, which scared my adjustment nurse so bad that she completely unfilled me and scheduled me for an upper GI a week later. The x-ray showed i was completely healed and that they could start adding fluid again. so if i had a slip, my body fixed itself.
there are only a few things stopping me from getting more fluid: 1) it is so expensive! it is supposed to cost me $75 each time but the nurse said shed work with me. 2) I am scared I will get too tight again and really hurt my body! 3) With 2cc in my band right now, my weightloss is slower, but I am still losing.
hope you are doing okay! update me

Hi There RTBT, I am thetig, Cheryl, you had asked me about restriction with my band. I could feel the restriction with both my first and second adjustments or fills but for only a week or so. I have been very careful to stay with the protein only eating carbs on limited occasions, but I do love carbs. If you have gained weight I would suggest that you go back on your liquid diet for a couple of days and get the kick start that you might be needing. Also please read as many blogs as you can especially Julie.ann.......it takes a while to get the band to really work as far as fills go. I have read that it can be up to as many as 4 or 5 before you have reached your "Sweet Spot" my Doc says the same thing to me. I know this was the best decision I could have ever made and it is working! Keep in touch!

Hey again Cherri! I can't believe it, 3 weeks from tomorrow! I am going to loose my mind I think lol. I am nervous bc I have not lost the 10lbs they wanted me to pre-op......I was trying liquids and couldn't make it all day, I have ended up eating dinner.....I am going to have to go to the gym and work it off cuz it's just not happening! What isyour low card diet consist of do you know??

HAHA! You look much better than me but I'm trying to get there! I definitely eat enough to maintain weight instead of lose right now but I had a complication so I had to unfill a little...but in 2 weeks it will all be back in and I'll have restriction again! Plus I dealt with some depression issues last month but now I'm back with a smile on my face and back in the gym! I did 1 hour on the treadmill yesterday, 3.11 miles, and I wanna go back tonight and do cardio + weights. What do your workouts look like? Thanks for the compliments...

The nut was great. I do like her and got lots of good eating tips for my pre-op, oh yeah, 2 weeks baby! But there are a number of 'acceptable' things on there that I won't feel like i'm starving too much. yogurt, grits, mashed potatoes!!, jello, pudding, sf popsicles and lots of broth. Still trying to figure out how i'm going to smuggle some of that with me to disneyland! I have a friend or two in the area, i'm thinking a ride over to the grocery store will be in order for my foods.
June 2nd, huh, ouch...that is a long time to wait. i'm sure it will be here before we know it. next week?

eight cups of water, seven boullion cubes, six jumbo eggs and pepper to taste.
that's it super easy. and it was good. i like larger pieces of egg in mine. you just have to make sure that if you do that you chew them up really good.
he decided to make that for me cuz i can't drink the protein shakes anymore. was on the two weeks pre op and they just about make me gag. i can doctor them up sometimes, but still almost can't handle it. so the soup was liquid and i got a little protein from the eggs.

Congrats on getting approved! Your date is exactly one week before mine As far as the 2 week diet goes, I'm sure you'll be fine. Just keep reminding yourself that it's so the surgery will be safer, and once you see results you should be able to stay motivated. My friend lost 12 pounds going the 2 week diet. Good luck!!!

Hello fellow banster!...I know we had surgery the same day, I was just checking to see how you are doing. My surgery went great! Not much pain and little discomfort. Im just have lots and lots of gas! I feel bloated but I guess that will pass within the next couple of days...
Im still on a clear liquid diet I start full liquids on Monday for a full week...everything is going well and even better than expected....take care

Hi Jenni! I am so glad to hear from you! You were in my thoughts on Wednesday and Thursday and then to get a note from you, how cool. I have already had my 2nd adjustment. I went at six weeks po and I am needing another one now. I will call on Monday to see if I can get in on Wednesday. I was going to ask Dr. Feiz how you were doing......How is life with your second adjustment? I felt more restriction with it for about 2 1/2 weeks then I was able to eat more again but I have kept it to a minimum of food intake. I am still not drinking enough water nor am I exercising enough but I am down 30 pounds. How is your weight loss going? How is work going?
How was you visit with Dr. Feiz? Did he find anything wrong with your tummy?
Thanks for getting in touch! I will be talking to you again soon! Cheryl

Thanks Charlietuna. I recommend that you find a plastic surgeon that has a good reputation and that you are comfortable with. I also recommend that you take at least two weeks off of work even if you have a sitdown desk job because energy levels are way off post tummy tuck surgery. Good luck!

Rachel, wow! sorry you had a hard time. did it feel the same as that getting something stuck feeling? did you get to see Dr. Hitchcock. I hope your eating ok now. I wonder if we all have to get too full in our band, at some point, to be able to understand what the sweet spot feels like.
I had a fill today i saw Dr.H i think he gives a better shot. i didn't feel a thing! I'm now at 4.8 and im drinking just fine. i'm crossing my fingers for some restriction. he told me if no restriction to come back after 2 weeks and not to wait a month. I have an appt 7/9. Kirk is coming home sometime the week of the 21st. we don't have the day yet. I'm so excited. I've lost 38. I hope he can tell!!! we are going to work out together while he is here.
Let me know how it's going.

I'm actually getting the procedure done in Oxnard. My doctor is Dr. Billy and his practice is there and has an office in Thousand Oaks. I work in TO, so I may just go to a support group there. Just thought I'd try to find something near home.
So, what type of hurldes have you had to go through after getting banded? What types of foods do you eat now? I'm curious what type of diet people really keep after their stomachs have healed.
Yeah, I can't believe my surgery date is finally here. It really feels real now. Strange. I've been in the process since December and every month I felt discouraged since it seems like it was taking so damn long! Haha! Thank goodness it's next week!

Hows it going? I'm doing the liquid now, and today is day 6. I have surgery a week from friday and I am getting kinda nervous. I hope that everything is going really well for you. I'm curious to find out how this is for you?
