Jazzy Junes First Fill Line up

[Insky67 2]

I go in for my second fill next week and I cannot wait! I am so hungry all the time it is all I can do to not pig out! I could eat 5 boxes of poptarts right now. I need some restriction!

I hear your pain!! I just had my 2nd fill today. He added another 1.5cc to make it a total of 3.5 cc's. I have definitely felt a lot of hunger the past couple weeks and was/am scared it's just me doing my old thing of eating when I'm bored. I'm trying to keep up with just eating cheese sticks, etc. but my kid's animal crackers sure look good sometimes (and they really aren't!). I'm praying for some more limitation. He said he usually averages 5cc's so hopefully that will be my spot. I haven't lost much weight in the past few weeks, either so don't be discouraged. I stopped doing my food log and I need to start that again. I haven't even posted in so long since I was feeling discouraged at my own actions. But, I am happy that pants that I couldn't even button pre-surgery are now falling off me. There is a light at the end of my tunnel!!!

I forgot to post about my first fill last week. I got 3cc's in my 10cc's band. The bad thing is I don't even think I needed it. This will probably be my only fill for at least a few months.

The nurse says I look like I was of those lucky people that do good with just the band in and not tightened.

I can only hope

Had my second fill yesterday. I'm hoping for at least a LITTLE restriction! I have a total of 5 cc in 10 cc band. I've been hungry in between meals so I'm hoping that will stop. Other than that, I'm still losing! I'm down 71.5 as of today(since January) yay!!!

Hey Ya'll---I got my first fill yesterday. I went really smooth. Didn't even hurt. I have 1.5 cc in a 14cc band and it has helped some. Hope it continues. If it doesn't doc said come back in 4-6 weeks for another.

Hope everyone is doing well. Take Care, Leah

had my second fill yesterday. I asked what size my band is and I too am a 10cc band. He said that I am now up to 5cc's in there. Hopefully this restriction will last longer!

I had my second fill 2 days ago, too! And I now have 5cc in 10cc band just like you. I have had no restriction up to this point. Today will be my first day of solid food again, so we'll see what happens. I just don't want to be hungry anymore! I told him it was all willpower not to eat between meals. He said, well it's all about willpower anyway. I argued that, no, I wanted the band to start working for ME! lol he made me soooo mad! lol

If it was all about willpower I wouldn't have gone through the surgery! My willpower will only last so long!

Anyway..good luck to you..let me know how your fill works!

Hugs,

Hey Junesters,

I got my first fill on August 4th, 4cc in 10cc band. I feel restriction, but I will probably need one more to seal the deal. I can see the inches melting away, but my weight loss is minimal. I am satisfied with my NSV though, it feels great to fit in an outfit 2 sizes from where I was.

Ok, it took a few days (weird) after my fill but I am def. having restriction. Not sure if it's too much but hey, I'm not eating much so yeah! I have finally experienced the PB's (and when it's over it feels great). I was almost happy to actually get them so that I really felt like this band was doing something. My meals have def. gotten smaller, I can't eat things without chewing A LOT (I wasn't having that much of a problem before the 2nd fill) and I have to take time. There are now things I def. have problems eating - bread mostly which is good since it was my downfall pre-band. I'm hoping I'll start losing more.

Anyone else get a sense of satisfaction from the PB's??

HI everyone

I had my second fill 4 days ago and definitly have restriction. First fill was 3 cc (I have a 10cc band) and I thought that I had some restriction but realize now that I really do have restriction that I probably didn't have much. Second fill was 2cc. I was able to lose 7 lbs in the 2 weeks between the fills, which I am very happy about. The restriction has been interesting. During all my pre-surgery stuff I knew that I would be eating tiny bits and chewing a lot and going very slowly and portions would be about 1/2 cup but that hasn't really been the case UNTIL THIS FILL!!!!! What a difference. I was told 2 days full liquids 2 mushies. Until yesterday afternoon/evening I was only getting full liquids down and even that was hard. I had so much gas the day of the fill and the next day and very loose bms. Last night I tired some mashed potatoes and definitly restrictions, was full after about 1/2 cup and had to take very small bits. I did have a PB, with Water though, I drank too much too fast, and I finally understand why so many of you speak about it with such pleasure. Next appt. is on the 28th but not sure if I wlil get another fill if I have good restriction and lose weight, 7 lbs in 2 weeks is alot and that was without restriction but lots of exercise. I walk almost everynight (not this week though - not enough energy) and I teach private swimming lessons so I am in the water treading as much as possible anywhere from 2-5 hours a day. That stops next week though because I am a school psychologist and summer is almost over.

It is so great to read about all of you...good luck in the next coming weeks!

I have waited too long for my second fill. It is scheduled for Aug. 25th. That is the first available. I went out to lunch today and immediately afterward called and scheduled the appointment because I ate almost the entire meal at lunch. I haven't been losing the last week but I thought maybe it was just hormones. Most days I do not have much problem eating but yesterday I pb'd twice! I was in pain both times and it was a relief to have it over with quickly. I will definitely have to be more careful after my next fill. Can't wait.

Morning!

I had a trip into London yesterday and had my 2nd fill.

He put in 3cc's taking me to 5.5cc's but it was too much.....strange gurgling sounds were coming from my throat when I had a drink of water....felt really weird.

So he took 0.5 out again....hope this will give me the restriction I badly need now.

I put on a few pound in the last few weeks(but not changing my ticker)

On liquids only yesterday and today then mushies for a couple of days!!

I get a fill this Friday and it is a good thing... I could eat the house!

I have been pretty good up until this morning and I wanted to eat everything.

It is a funny thing, sometimes I feel a great deal of restriction and can only eat a bite, and then wham! Everthing I eat just slides right down! I am making good choices for the most part, and I have lost another 4 lbs that I haven't changed on my ticker...! Yea! I am just a few lbs from onederland!

Anyhow! I get my fill and hope it will be the sweet one!
