Hang in there! I had good changes between each adjustment, but it took me 4 fills to see a steady weight loss! (I know they give more aggressive fills in TJ)

I have 4 cc's in the 11 cc band and I am so worried I could be stretching out my pouch. I am stuck and was so sure once I had my first fill I would start doing better. They better fill this band up cause I am not sure if I can come back to Mexico again. BTW cograts on your weight lose so far!! When did you have the band put in??

Hey I just booked my second fill at the OCC for the 24 of November. Will be my first trip alone I will be spending 2 nights at the marriot and wonders if anyone else will be there that same time? I sure hope this will help the scale move!!! Getting upset and I hate Halloween!!!

I had a bladder repair 6 weeks before my band and no pain pills need piece of cake. Good luck!

Sorry to hear about you brother!

I had surgery on the 6th of October and am trying to get in contact with another woman who had surgery the same day:

Dear Crazy Canadian Connie,

I miss you... . Quit trying to be all and hide from me. You left before we did, and now I am :lb12: ...

Love, Amber

P.S. If anyone knows Connie tell her she is being stalked LOL

I am a crazy Canadian but not the one you are looking for! I wish I could Tiffaney from Aug 13th from the OCC. Good luck finding you lost friend!

You look GREAT!

My first three fills were almost exactly a month - that is the soonest they would do mine. I had no restriction until that third fill and had to rely on benfiber, drinking lots of water and eating filling foods like tuna and other proteins.

Good luck!

Thank you ladies I think I should call the OCC and see if they will fill me again I hear most people say they have the most restriction at about 75% of their band being full. Mine is only at half. I need this to work so bad and hope the scale will start to move again.

Thanks again

I had my first fill a few weeks ago at the OCC and was told I should wait 3-4 months before need another fill. I feel no restriction and have lost only a couple pounds since my fill. I had 4cc put in my band should I go back sooner than 3 months? I guess I do feel full 1/2 hour after I eat but already start thinking about my next snack! Is this normal? Thank you.

I clearly have no clue what I am doing cause I was meaning to reply to the first post.

I WAS A BAD GIRL TOO

THE DAY AFTER BANDING WE WERE IN THE BAR DRINKING WINE. OTHER THEN ALCOHOL HAVING EMPTY CALORIES WHAT THE HECK, WE WERE JUST RELAXING, ENJOYING OUR VACATION. NOT GETTING WASTED. OF COURSE NO CARBONATION FOR 6 MONTHS

I don't think after spending this kind of cash I would do that but them maybe some people don't really want this as bad as others. But then I ate some noodles today on day 19 so I guess I should not talk!

Today was a hard day for me. My friend that I had worked with off and on for 12 years had a 17 year old son die Tuesday in school while playing basketball with friends. The funeral was today and I don't think I have ever seen such a large funeral. Small towns always pull together. Normally I would eat until I was sick to deal with the heart ache but today I decided I don't need food like that (for today anyhow). I am on day 17 after my band and I am feeling great. I am so glad I did this and hope the scale keeps on going down. This is the time of night when I think and eat. Tonight I tucked my 3 kids in gave them kisses told them I loved them. They are my 3 reasons for not going back to the kitchen tonight! Everyone kiss your loved ones everyday and tell them how much you care because you just may not get another chance.

It is 6 days since I was banded and I am wondering if I can drink as many 1/2 cup amounts of liquids as I want how long do I wait inbetween? and if it takes me 25 min to drink a cup of tea is the water just not going straight out? Any advice would be great!!

Ok I followed mamamichelles great advice and got a ticker working, but some how when I tried to update it the old ticker is still up why can I not delete it? Ok I got it lol but how do I get my progress to show up on the bottom like my starting wieght and dates?

Well I had the band put in this am and can not believe how good I feel. Everyone has been so nice and I am going back to the hotel tonight I am on my way
