1/2 Cup Serving

I have had 3 fills and I am definitly restricted. My problem is it hurts to eat. I know I am chewing and eating slowly but one or two bites and then I am in pain. I have the back ache and shoulder ache from the time after surgery. I can eat crayfish but chicken and beef kill me. i couldn't even eat a scrambled egg today. It even hurts to drink. I am one unhappy camper.

Sounds like you need an unfill, it shoudlnt be like that. You're just too tight.

I had the same exact thing happen to me. I was too tight. I called my Dr because Water hurt going down. I lost 6lbs in 3 days. I had 1cc removed and it was so much better.

BTW, Im from Houma too. I dont really know anyone local thats had the surgery. I see a Dr in Metairie.

I spoke to the nurse at my doctor's office and I go in tomorrow for an adjustment. They will take out a bit of Fluid this time.

The doctors in HOUMA have done between 300 andd 400 lap band procedures. We have a support group that meets the last Wednesday of the month at the surgery center. I find the group very helpful and encouraging.

Are they open to everyone or just for people who have had surgery with those Drs?

You are lucky!! Most of us would never get away with eating 2000 calories even if we worked out 2 hours a day. It just goes to show you we shouldn't compare ourselves to anyone else even if we did have the same surgery

I am so glad to read that the half cup is after it has been chewed. I have been eating about 1 cup to 1 1/2 cup since my first fill. I almost fainted on 1/2 cup a day and so I contacted my nutritionist and she said sometimes it's ok to eat that much.
