Zingythingy 210 Posted September 26, 2013 Hi there had my third fill on monday I have a 14 cc band I'm up to 9/5 cc now. Definatly feel a huge difference. Slow progression to normal food from mushies. I seem to swell after a fill for about a week then it settles. Definatly in or near the green.. Its more than halved my eating capacity. I was able to eat fair amount before and snack imbetween in moments of weakness. Not now.. congrats to being a 2. Thats fabulous.

fashionstylist 458 Posted September 26, 2013 The third fill is doing the trick. TODAY I STEPPED ON scale AND SAW THE FIRST NUMBER WAS A 2!!! I am below 300 for the first time in years' date=' feel great. Puked the other night when I ate too fast, and boy was I happy!! 275 here we come ! [/quote'] Woo hooooo! I already feel a difference . Ate Greek yogurt around 8 am and I'm not hungry , it's like 11 am. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eller 10 Posted September 26, 2013 I'm still not feeling like my 3rd fill did anything for me. I'm still hungry in between meals. I haven't lost a pound in two wks!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zingythingy 210 Posted September 26, 2013 I suppose it depends on how big your fills are. Mine were all pretty big.(had 1/5 from surgery) My first 4/5 cc. My second 2cc's the last 1/5cc's. Now I'm at 9/5 cc's in a 14 cc's band in a short period. I've only been banded since july 3rd.. Hang in there.. You'll get there. Its a bit of a shock when you do. But a good one.

tntmiles717 0 Posted September 26, 2013 Good afternoon, I just had my 4th fill Wednesday and now I am at a 6.5cc, I am really starting to feel that I am hitting my green zone. Does anyone else start to feel depressed if they don't see numbers change when they get in the scale? ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zingythingy 210 Posted September 26, 2013 Yes I do. It feels to me seeing the numbers go down validates my decision.. My family have mad expectations im striving to meet Sent from my GT-S5830 using LapBandTalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zingythingy 210 Posted September 27, 2013 You'll get there soon I'm sure. I noticed a huge difference at 8cc just not a big enough one. Here I am now. Full full full. Sent from my GT-S5830 using LapBandTalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fashionstylist 458 Posted September 28, 2013 Ummmm, I just had my 3 rd fill and I just had dinner. Let's just say I was not supposed to be able to eat all of what I ate... I gotta get it together .. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zingythingy 210 Posted September 28, 2013 You really can't go in the amount of fills. It would mean they had to be the same volume for everybody. You well get there soon. I wish I'd enjoyed eating while I still could. Although I feel full quickly and stay full I still mentally miss big dinner...

NanaPat 12 Posted September 28, 2013 I have only had my first fill, and I feel no different, ;-( I'm ready for some restriction, my dr said I received 2cc and he will put 2cc more in a month. That's so long to have no restriction, I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zingythingy 210 Posted September 28, 2013 I felt no difference on my first fill at all.. I did however stop eating before I was full and always waited four hours before eating again and never snacked.. I also followed weight watchers meal plan so I lost some weight.. I did find it really super hard was miserable being hungry. Now I'm there in the green I understand why you have to experience these hard bits. preparing you for itty bitty portions and loads of chewing. The month will fly by if you stay positive.. Hang in there.. Try to rememberer it usually took some times to gain the weight. It takes time to shift it... Ps.. I'm sure there's no one dieting that didn't want more amazing, faster results. Thats the nature of the beast.. Imo Sent from my GT-S5830 using LapBandTalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
