Hey Breanne-

Do you have an updated list for the June group? Just curious!

Thanks!

Hi all,

My surgery date was June 17th. I am down 22 lbs since surgery. I Had my first fill yesterday (30th). The doc said I was doing good but I see lots of people on here loosing much faster, any tips?

[Lisa2112 0]

I was banded June 17th.

Had my first fill July 22nd, and I'll be going in tomorrow for possibly my 2nd fill (2 weeks later) because I find myself hungry again after 2 hours. Although my calories are ranging between 1100-1300, it's still a lot of work not to go over the 1200 goal so I'm going to check with my doctor tomorrow to see if I can get a little more in my band, plus I'll get another weigh in.

Hey there :redface:

Here is my blog link:

Losing To Win

I LOVE followers :wink2:

[bandgal50 0]

Thanks so much for doing that! :wink2:

[StarsZie 3]

I was banded on 6/16/09 - so neat to see those who share the same 'birthday'! ;o)

[NYGuy 0]

Yes, thanks for doing this Breanne!

I came on to ask if anyone else was sort of stuck at this point in the journey, and I see you and I are in almost precisely the same place.

I started at 258, and though I did lose a little through June and into July, since mid July I haven't lost any weight. I am down two pants sizes but heavy as I was almost four months ago. If I fail to be careful for a day I instantly spike up in weight and spend the next weeks fighting to get back down.

All I seem to be doing is yo-yoing between 238 and 231. And I had a good fill late August.

I now feel some restriction in that if I chow down on a banana too fast I'll get that stuck feeling in my esophagus. Other foods can do that. But I can still eat bread if I do it carefully.

Guess it's time for another fill.

Bob

PS: It's been so long since I've had a reason to update my ticker that I've forgotten my PIN! Sigh

[Portola Suzanne 3]

Just found this thread my surgery was June 11, 2009. Glad to join all of you in the journey. Hope everyone is doing well!

[pennreporter 12]

NYGuy, if you can still eat bread, you need a fill..:thumbup:. I have a Realize band. I'm at 7ccs, surgery was June 1, '09, and this was my third fill. I'm probably borderline too tight, but I'm bound to make it work, especially since I'm losing. I can't eat any bread at all. Stopped for a fish sandwich, kiddy size, two bites and I hacked the rest of the way home. But strange things go down without a prob, e.g. popcorn, but not chicken...go figure.

If you're clothes size is going down, you're clearly losing inches. I know I don't exercise anywhere like I should . But hang in there for the next fill, it will make a huge difference.

My daughter and I are both banded. We are real cheap dates these days..lol

[NYGuy 0]

Hey Trisha,

Thanks so for your response. I sort of agree I need another fill. I can down more types of foods that most bandsters can't. I have yet to PB though I've come close a couple times and then only when chowing down with abandon... a big hunk of banana poorly chewed, for example. I say I can eat bread, and I can, but I do have to do it somewhat carefully. I can only maintain my weight and drop a poiund or two by obsessively controlling my eating habits. The slightest lapse can undo weeks of work. I sometimes wonder why I bothered having this alien installed inside me if it was still going to be hard work!

My fill meister doesn't believe her patients should be vomiting but it seems to me I'm still on the unfilled side of the elusive "sweet spot".

More and more I see the wisdom of my fellow June bandsters in picking our slogan. It is indeed a "journey".

Bob

(who is still an apprentice) :thumbup:

[pennreporter 12]

I think I probably PB more than I should and spit back up food more than I should, but I blame this on my learning curve, teaching my mind that even though I really do want that slice of pizza, I should know I can't eat it. As long as I eat what I know I can, and stop when I know I should, I don't have problems with PB. So I think to get to the sweet spot you have to go through some PB'ing. I would run, don't walk to get your next fill. I am now only at the point where my amount of food is down to 3/4 to a cup of food and it takes me at least half an hour.

good luck and, yes, it's still work, still calorie counting and my biggest part I don't do is exercise.

But I know what you mean when you don't watch it for a few days. I went up like four pounds over last weekend and I like had no clue what I had eaten. In hindsite it may have been the huge container (18 servings) of caramel corn that I ate over two days...lol
