Hi. I'm in Mesa and I'm going to my PCP next week to start the process. How are you doing?

Hi Dionalyne! I was banded on 12/20 as well. Got my first fill on 1/11 and my next one is next week. I'm curious about how much food you can eat. I keep hearing about how your only supposed to eat half a cup but I can eat much more than that maybe that will come after the 4th or 5th fill but right now my weight is at a stand still in fact I've gained the last 2 weeks. I do seem to stay full longer so that's good but still. How much have you lost? Since my pre-op diet until now I have lost 37.

Wow you are doing great! I have only lost 32 and I'm not feeling restriction like I did the few weeks after surgery. I've been eyeballing portion sizes and I think I'm eating too much. So the last two weeks my weight has been at a stand still. I'm going back to precise measuring. I'm not blaming anyone but myself, but I lost my job on jan 17, so the stress of finding a new job has been a huge distraction and I haven't been as careful. I feel best when I'm very cautious about portion sizes to the oz. cause I I eat much more I don't regurgitate or vomit I am in a state of pain that lasts sometimes a couple days.

Keep up the good work!

Don't say only 32! That's something to be proud of Anyway, thanks for your response. Would like to keep in touch. When is your next fill? They only put in 2 cc on my first one. So sorry that you lost your job, hope you find something real soon.
