Hi Vicki - I go today too - for fill #3 :) I'm aggravated however b/c I've been really watching what I eat and logging it in an app - Lose It - and the scale hasn't moved in two weeks! I'm hoping that this fill really tightens me up and I'll eat even less - but i haven't been eating over 1200 calories - plus going to the gym for 30-60 minutes of cardio exercise and just started light weights with a trainer... I'm not going to let this derail me - but DAMN - what's it going to take!

I'm also curious about my band - like I wonder if it will ever do what it does for success - we'll see how this fill goes - I'm already at 6cc's in a 10 cc band - he'll probably put 2cc's in today.

Glad we're on this together - I'm down 22lbs too.

OMG - maybe 3 times a charm - It took a while for my Water to go down... I stopped and got a smoothie and I take a sip and it takes a good while to go down... it should last me the entire day :) Doc said that he usually sees the green zone in peeps between 7 and 9 cc's - I'm at 7.5 and when he injected me you could see the resistance in the solution in the syringe - it kept trying to push it back into the syringe. I believe that I NOW have restriction.

I wonder how the next few days will go - I'm going to take it slow and liquids.

As for my body shrinking - it is but it seems so slow - I'm down 7lbs in one month - Doc said 1-2 lbs per week is good - slow and good. blah blah blah - I want to see 12-15 lbs in a month - but I didn't get here over night and I get it...

So nice to be on this journey with you Vicki!! I'll let you know how this 3rd fill is doing for me. All the best to you too!

Hi everyone. I was banded 26 October 2013. Just had my second fill to 6cc in 10cc band.

Still not green, but no longer starving. How much have you all lost so far?

Banded on Oct 23rd and I'm down 28lbs - and it's definitely white knuckle losing - albeit, I definitely have more restriction than ever before after fill #3 ... so much that I really cannot eat in the morning, not even the mushiest of foods - but by the evening I can pretty much eat anything - just need to take it really slow and chew - the hardest part is the amount of food I put in my mouth - I've got to think about each bite, otherwise I'm in an awful way for a good 2-3 minutes after I swallow. It HURTS that's for sure.

I've learned (with the aggressive insistence from a select few on this board) that loosing 1-2 lbs a week is normal and good weight loss, never mind to those who are down 60 lbs in 6 months - poo poo on them - b/c that's just not normal and should not be expected (LOL)!

I'm just so thankful that it's winter and I'm not so inclined to run out and buy new clothes yet... The next 30 lbs (hopefully & realistically by June 1st) should really prove a game changer for my life and my clothes. God knows I have things in the closet I haven't worn in over 5 years that are nearly new - can not wait - I have that pair of skinny jeans that I cannot wait to wear!

Sticking to the rules and enjoying the journey - peace y'all!

Hi all! I was banded on 10/9 and am down 43 pounds. I have completely plateaued. I am eating right and am on the treadmill everyday. Will be getting my third fill soon but until then does anyone have any suggestions how to get over the plateau?

I got over 1 plateau while traveling. Little control over the food I had access to, and I was in Europe so all delicious. I went down to 2 meals, and tried to have a 16 hour break between dinner and my next meal. Lost 7 pounds in 3 weeks with this adjusted intermittent fasting.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
