SassCie 0 Posted September 1, 2008 Hello out there . . . I was banded in six weeks ago in July :smile: and there are no support groups here on the beautiful central Oregon coast. I would love to start a support group in Lincoln County, Oregon . . . I am struggling with this new life change and have no one to talk to :frown:. I had my first fill of 2.5 cc last Friday and of course do not feel any differently. I swear I could swallow a hard boiled egg whole and it would go through my band . . . this is disappointing. I am going to explore this site for infor and hopefully band friendly recipes although at this point, I swear I could swallow a watermelon! :frown: Holler Back . . .

RestlessMonkey 7 Posted September 1, 2008 Why are you struggling? You can still eat anything (no restriction yet) so it can't be that.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkinnyKim 0 Posted September 1, 2008 Hey Oregon Coast! I lived in Lincoln City for 10 years and thought it was wonderful. I was banded in December and had my first fill in February. I remember after the first fill, I did not feel like I had anymore restriction that before it. I had a 2nd fill in April and that was the one that did the trick:). I then had one in early July and one in late August (Friday to be exact). I have lost 71 pounds total and will meet my goal in about 20 pounds. I started walking after my first fill to try to help myself see some results. It works and you will get there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SassCie 0 Posted September 2, 2008 SkinnyKim . . . how could you have left LC?? I hope it was for a good reason. I love love love the Oregon coast. I am in Newport. Thanks for the support . . . I guess I must learn to be patient. I waited more than a year to get my band . . . and I want to see some results! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RestlessMonkey 7 Posted September 2, 2008 When's your first fill? Our doc does the first one at 6 weeks. I've heard it may take 3-4 fills (or more) to hit your personal "sweet spot" so you'll just have to hang tough and be patient! IT will happen! :thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
