Hi. I had my surgery on 4/1/10. I've lost about 63 lbs. and I'm very happy. My band had .5cc in when it was placed. My first fill was in May and I got 2cc. I just went in Nov. and only had .5cc added for a total of 3cc. I had a checkup with the physician's assistance in Dec. and he felt I was in the "green zone". I was wondering if anybody has these problems: some days I eat very well-no sticking, no neasua, etc. Can eat whatever I want except still avoid bread. Other days I have trouble after a few bites. I get neasua and the I get sick. :( When I get sick it is silvia. I've only gotten sick 2 or 3 times where it was what I ate but I figured it was because I ate to much. I'm thinking of when I go back in 2 weeks of have a little taken out, like .25cc. Can anybody tell me if they are having these problems and what their dr. has told them. Mine is saying the same thing: eating to fast, not chewing enough, or to big of bites. I don't think that is the problem as I've tried eating the same thing a few days in a row and one day is fine and the next I eat 3-4 bites and then I get sick. Please help. :o Thanks.

Don't get me wrong I'm very happy with my results except for the above problems. I would definitely would do it again. :P

I think the band is just tricky and you may not be too tight. If you are having these problems for 3 or more days in a row then I would consult your doctor. Most days are fine for me but then at least once or twice out of the week I feel like I am extremly full and I haven't even ate Breakfast. I just drink my hot coffee and within an hour I can eat. If drinking warm liquids every day doesn't help you then you may have a problem as well. Most people bands relieve them when they drink hot liquids. I hope this helps.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
