Hi Bev, I was banded the day before you and I have only lost 10 #. I don't have a fill yet not til mid July. Are you Hungry after meals? HAve you had a fil Yet? And what band do you have. I have a 10cc band wihich i was told holds 4-5 cc of saline. But I'm stuck already.and I also want to loose 100# Any advice?

Good Job on your weight loss and I wish you a successful Journey!

Hi, thanks for the reply, it always helps to talk to someone.....I can honestly say that I was not hungry the first month. I had a fill on June 25 Just 1 cc and I am feeling a little hungry towards the end of the day and I also notice the Slim fast does'nt seem to hold me as long. I go back for another fill on the 25th of this month. I have only lost 2 lbs this week so I guess it will slow down. hey listen 10lbs is nothing to sneeze at.....as long as we are going in right direction hooray for us!!!! I have the same size band as yours. The fills are not bad at all. mine felt no worse than a mosquito bite....Gooooood luck and keep in touch..BEV

Hi Again Bev, Thanks, for your answers. Yes I agree that sharing online does help. I see that were close in age too. I turn 53 on September 27. And I certainly hope I'am restricted by then. No Cake for me! LOL.

I'm hoping when I get my fill mid- July,that I can talk the Dr. into being a little aggresive. we'll see anyways. When did you start your Journey? I started somewhere near the middle of October. So I was hoping for a little more weight off by now. Guess I need patients? HMMM!!!! LOL I could exercize more than the 30-45 min walks that might help? Anyways thanks again I will keep in touch let me know your progree to.
