I mostly watch carbs but Last time I checked it was about 1000-1200 a day.

I hope you are doing well and good luck!

Congrats!!!!! Good luck with the surgery!

I was banded this past october and I have no regrets. You can read my story in my blog if that will help.

yeah, i am keeping the ater bottle by me and just having to remind myslef to keep sipping all day. For breakfast this morning I tried a scrambled egg and um...no, that did not work. I guess I will stick to the shakes for breakfast.

I do mini goals and mini rewards too. I am currently sporting my new purse for 30 lbs! My big goal reward will be body repair. What ever surgeries I need to fix the damage that being fat has done to it.

I just got my second fill and finally understand what everyone is talking about on restriction and having to eat slowly and not being able to eat certain things. I have discovered that I am really tight in the morning and I am wondering what you guys do for breakfast. I was thinking of a shake but I don't know if a liquid breakfast would keep me full for 3-4 hours. Also, I have been drinking my water by gulping it down to get it out of the way......not anymore. How do you manage to get 60+ oz of water in if you are sipping it and not for 30 min before or after eating. Oh and one more.... I do breakfast at 6 am so by 10 am I am starving but lunch is still an hour off. I know that we are not supposed to snack but what do you do in this situation?

I got my second fill this past weekend and I am now at 5.5cc in the 11 cc band. I have a good restriction and am having to focus a lot more on chewing and slowing down. I am hoping this fill helps!

I was also told that it is a third of what you could eat before surgery. There is a great sticky thread under fills from Dolittle about how to get a good fill and it also speaks about what a good fill should be like. I would suggest looking at that.

Same thing here. We felt nothing but safe in TJ. We went sight seeing and had a blast. Just use common sense and have fun.

Have you tried fill centers USA? They have centers all over the country and I love the one I use. The price is good, they are not haters on mexico bandsters and have some centers with flouro. Fill centers

I am at 4 cc in my 11cc realize band. I am going in next weekend for a second fill.

CONGRATS!!!!!! I know you have been working hard for this and I am glad that you had a great experience. It's a new life and a new year for you!
