Thanks for your reply :laugh: I believe that I was starting to sacrifice my health for weight loss and even though I didn't want to because I was afraid that my weight loss would slow or stop I did have some of Fluid removed from the band on Friday. They didn't take it all which made me very happy :ohmy: But I can now drink the Water I need to and am getting about 750 calories in a day - I know i need more but at least it's a start. I feel soooo much better and have more energy. :wink2: Good luck with your weight loss Baycity Bandster!!

I was banded on 9/24/08. My doctor says it is a 10cc band and after my last fill in December I am at about 9cc. The last fill seems to have put me right at the edge between that "sweet spot" and almost a tad more than I should have. I am definitely not able to eat anywhere near as much as I could before the fill but am eating enough (and if I try to eat too much, it comes up of course). I see the doctor again today and I am sure he will not want to put anything more in there (I will have lost about 12 pounds since my visit last month). I don't want him taking anything out either. I just have to learn where the limit is on how much I can eat before I go over the edge.

Carol, your reasoning sounds right. I am at the same place as you. I'm probably a little, little bit too tight but I do not want any taken out because then I know I will start to feel really, really hungry after 3 hours. I, like you, feel I just need to recognize what my limits are and to stop before going over the edge. Most of the time I do that but the band catches me every time I don't! Continued good luck to you, Carol.

Update: well I'm giving it through this week but then if things haven't gotten where I can drink/eat just a little bit more than I will have them unfill the band a little bit more. I'm still worried that I'm not able to get enough food/liquid in and that it might start effecting my health in a negative way. We'll see what the week brings.:sneaky:
