One week from today will be exactly 1 year with my band!! I've been wishy washy about my goal weight all along. I've said between 135 & 145 is where I want to be. Today I weigh 150, i've been stuck here for about 2 months. I guess my goal weight is 140. With summer only a couple of months away, i'm going to increase my excercise to 5 days a week. This 10 lbs. should be gone in no time. My restriction has been great. Since day one I've only thrown up one time. It was my fault!! Took a big bite of something and didn't chew good. YUCK! It has never happened again. Funny how our brains know. My mom had her boobs lifted, lypo, tummy tuck and some filler stuff around her mouth. Her band slipped and was this big ordeal a few days later. I swear it's because the dr. didn't know how to deal with banded patients correctly. I want all the same stuff done (not the face) I'm going to OCC where I know they know whats in me and how do deal with it.

I was down there on 8/6 ~ no problem, same as usual. -
2nd fill was ok, more restriction, but i'm going for my 3rd tomorrow. I've heard from alot of people the 3rd usually does it. I was losing steadily, (until it stopped) :~) I went back to the gym yesterday with my trainer, this will help. I can barely walk today, but I know it's all worth it in the end.

I have 8cc right now since my 2nd fill. Not much restriction, chicken is what I have the hardest time with. I am eating about 1/2 of what I used to. Think i'm going for another fill friday. I was 188 at band date, I flux between 5 lbs all the time ~ 178 at 1st and 2nd fill (I think) This morning 174.

You are exactly where I've been!!! Don't be discouraged. I did the same thing with my weight. Those who are heavier lose alot faster, we don't have a big amount to lose. Some of those are trying to get where we are for their goal. I've lost 4 or 5 lbs. since my 2nd fill. I flux between 5 lbs anyway. My clothes are fitting different, my 8's are getting loos...

Went back to TJ for my 2nd fill last saturday 6/26. I now have a total of 8cc. Great restriction. When I went in, I felt NO restriction at all with the 5.5cc I already had. He actually had me go eat lunch at Applebees before I went back across the border to make sure I wasn't too full! They have great fish by the way!! I can eat good, about 1/2 of what I used to eat most of the time, sometimes less. A couple of days after that fill I ate about 6 bites of chicken at lunch, thought it was going to come back up. First time i've had that feeling. I'm glad, it's really made me slow down and take smaller bites. I haven't had that feeling again, but my brain know's now to slow down, i'm not hungry. I still have a problem eating breakfast because i'm not hungry in the mornings. Working on that. After my first fill I lost 5 more lbs. About 3 wks later I gained it back. I'm excited now because I actually feel like I have a fill, should be able to lose the rest of my weight with this restriction.

I had a little restriction for about 3 wks, then it was like I didn't even have a fill. I went on 6/26/10 for my 2nd fill. I now have 8cc total. I feel definite restriction now, I love it. It actually took a couple of days for me to really feel it. I took about 6 bites of chicken and thought it was going to come back up. Haven't had that feeling again, but the restriction is great. I'm learning that we will probably need higher cc levels for our restriction because we weren't that big. It has to do with stomach size. I was wearing a size 10 on the day of surgery, so my stomach wasn't huge. (well to me it was) It will take more to make the band tighter. My mom has 5.25cc, she's lost all her weight and has had her band almost 2 yrs now. He also explained that the band I have is alot different than my moms and can hold alot more. Let me know how you do.
