Is that the code from the first box when you created your ticker?

Also, you can click on "preview signature" under the signature box to see if it's working without creating a new post.

I'm feeling great, thanks! As today passed, I felt better and better and I'm off of painkiller for now. I might take some before bedtime just to make sure I sleep okay but I'm just a little sore and I only feel it when I'm getting in and out of my chair or bending down.

I think I'll be ready to go back to work on Tuesday! I hope I'm as successful as you have been!

Thanks but I don't feel successful - Yes I am losing weight but only by sheer willpower. I had my first fill and no restriction. But I am determined to do this so no choice. Glad you are feeling good. Even with all my complaining I would do it again in a heartbeat cause I don't want to gain this back.

Well, I hope you get to the right amount of restriction soon. Your progress is even more amazing, doing it mostly on your own. Eventually, your band is going to start working for you, right?

I'm not even thinking about losing weight yet. I'm just focusing on healing and following the rules.

You should have better restriction after your 2nd fill. I know I did. I've had my 3rd now, last Monday, but it almost seems like no better than after the 2nd. I almost wish they'd put in a little more than 1cc the 3rd time. But I'm doing okay. Just a little stalled on my weight loss right now but it'll pick up.

Just my 2 cents, but if I were you I'd take the pain med at least at bedtime so you get a good night's rest. Important for healing, especially if you want to go back to work that soon.

Congrats! Sounds like you're doing great!

Thanks for the advice! That's my thinking, too.

I know what you mean by discouraged with the band and the will power thing. I started the Southbeach diet so as to keep my cravings restrained. It does work.

I couln't get my ticker to work if I followed the directions so I copied the picture and pasted it into the big box. It worked. Good Luck

Hi All, I think my last post was an answer for several pages back....silly me.

I got my 1st fill a week and 1/2 ago and don't feel any restriction but, people say that I may begin to feel it the second week after fill. We'll see.
