Just got my second fill on Monday (5 cc total). Enjoying this fill for now. I'm able to eat fine and stay satisfied for att least 4 hours. Anyone feel like they are in the green zone yet?

Banded May 6th. Have had3 fills (plus a 5cc primer in at surgery), totaling 8.7 cc in a 14 cc band. I have lost 35 pounds since surgery and 71 since I called to setup my initial consultation. Everything is going great for me, working out like crazy! Just finally got under 300 pounds for the first time in years so that was a huge victory!! Hope everyone is doing great!!

Banded May 10th and I'm still kicking. Down 38 lbs. I had the plication with my banding and so far my hunger is controlled. I had two major problems that caused my weight gain over the years.....portion size and munching/grazing. Soft drinks didnt help either. I've given up soft drinks totally and portion size is being mostly controlled by band, so all I really have to focus on is not munching and grazing. I dont think its going to be a short journey, but I do feel it will be effective and I'll get there. Did I mention......no fills as of yet? But I do see my surgeon Monday.

Hi all May bandsters!! I was banded may 20th And have lost 32lbs. I feel great! I have had only one fill. My dr did not want to give me another one until I stop having stucks!! I am still learning to chew chew chew and eat slower. Which is much better now. I also need to work out more than I am. Have never liked it and still don't but I know how important it is for my progress ! I was on vacation and did ok (not perfect) but that def effected my weight loss. So back on track and hope I can get a fill this Tuesday at my appt. keep up the good work everyone !!

I was banded May 21st 2013 and I'm officially half way to my goal. 2 weeks before surgery I was 330 lbs I weighed in this morning at 269.8 (-60.2 lbs). My goal is 210 so I'm officially over half way there. I've had 2 fills since surgery and feel pretty comfortable where I'm at now restriction wise. Best decision I've ever made.

      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.
