For us Americans, how much is 10K? lbs? I had my surgery Aug. 29th and I'm down 28 lbs. Have you limited your intake of fats and sugars? Are you drinking plenty of Water? I had my first fill (4 cc's) last Monday, doing okay here.

Hey dimple I was also banded Aug. 7th. I had one fill on Sept. 19th and hope to have another one in November. Not too much restriction, but better than before the fill.

I am just following dr's orders with the eating and stuff and losing a few pounds a week.

I take it one day at a time and plan my meals when I get up in the morning, it depends on what I feel like eating. I have most everything except sugar and white flour stuff.

Whole wheat Pasta is good and fat free and sugar free home made sauce is great.

just have a third of what you would normally eat.

but make sure you have the 3 oz. of Protein every meal.
