  1. I tried to eat a couple of fries and they got stuck. The pain was excrutiating and scary. I was frantic until it stopped. The fries are not worth it. SheRee
  2. Thank you Mona. I am trying to get a new attitude. You are right that the 13 pounds would have been gained instead of lost. I will try to be patient. I guess the first fill just isn't enough and I really wanted it to be. How long after a fill do you have to wait to get another?? Thanks again, SheRee
  3. At this point I would NOT have had the band if I had it to do all over again. It is NOY helping me at all. I had my first fill 2 weeks ago and have not lost a single ounce. Yes, I am following all the pickin rules and I have only lost 13 pounds since being baned in Dec. I think I wasted money that I didn't have and wish I had it back instead of the band. Was the heck is restriction anyway. I paid all this money for nothing but tightness with food going down now and then and lots of extra burps. This thing was a waste. I am way depressed and embarressed. SheRee
  4. I have exactly the same problem. I am so depressed and frustrated. I got my first fill two weeks ago but nothing changed as far as my weight. I have been eating way less and getting in my protien. I have been exercising for the first time in years. I feel like I wasted a ton of money and sometimes I wish I had never done this. I'm embarrassed that I thought it would work and I would see results but I have not lost a single ounce since my fill and I'm following all the stinkin rules. I am not happy with my band SheRee

  6. Nobody else having surgery or getting filled on Valentine's Day??? I suppose the rest of y'all have a sweetheart to be with that day. My sweetie is my 14 year old daughter is is going to join me inMexico for the weekend. Let me know if you'll be at the hotel the night of the 13th or morning of the 14th. SheRee
  7. Thank you so much for posting this. I really needed to hear it. I am getting my first fill this Saturday. At this point I have ZERO willpower nor do I feel like I ever even had surgery. I can eat ALOT and I DO. I know this is "wrong" but I feel as if there is NO restriction. I sincerely hope I have done any damage by overeating but I have never felt any restriction or tightness or pain or like anything is stuck. I just eat. It sucks so bad becaus eI am a single mom on a teacher's salary and it seems to me like I wasted so big wad of money at this point. I pray that after my fill I will feel restriction and lose weight....after all that's the point of the surgery. I just really thought that there would be SOME kind of difference with just the band. Anyway, I can't wait until Saturday. HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO ME! Again, thanks for the post. SheRee
  8. I'm getting my first fill on the 14th. Happy Valentine's Day to me! I'll arrive at the Border Parking on the 13th. Anyone else there that day? SheRee
  9. OMG, I didn't even realize I achieved that same victory. I am down from 189 to 177. Thanks for the good news and I'm glad I get to share in that joy. Off to normal for both of us!! SheRee
  10. Just find out ahead of time if she can stay the night at the OCC. If not you can be released to the hotel the night of the surgery instead of staying at the OCC. They wouldn't let any spouses or friends stay at the OCC but did tell us we could go early to the hotel.
  11. My bad!! It is a 10CM band that holds 4CC of fluid. I stand corrected and less confused.
  12. Just curious about everyone's band size. I am pretty sure Dr. So told me that my band ( and all of the patients who had surgery the same day that I did) is a 10 cc band. Seems like so many have a 4 cc band. My BMI was 32 at time of surgery and others were higher/lower etc. Just wondering how they decide on the size of band that each person gets.
  13. I'm doing pretty good. Still bloated but down about 5 pounds. No hunger but of course craving food at times. I feel like 3 weeks is so long for just liquids but I'm not hungry. I actually feel so full just after drinking. My port incision is just a little sore but other than that all is well. Thanks for asking. How are you doing? SheRee
  14. I was banded on the 29th by Dr. Martinez. The OCC staff and hotel staff were so professional and friendly. I am feeling pretty good today. Yesterday I was very lethargic. I am on day 4 of clear liquids. I am NOT hungry at all but I am having cravings. When that happens I just sip on something then I'm fine. I was wondering about pudding... a craving I'm having. Is that only after day 21 or can we start that on day 10? I would also like jello...when can we have that? Thanks for your feedback. SheRee
