Learning to live with the band!

Posted 06-28-2009 at 12:04 AM by dacreid

Well things have gotten much better since my last fill. 2 weeks of hell afterward seem like a thing of the past now. I still find it difficult to eat anything in the mornings even after I've had 2-3 cups of coffee. Usually I just have my coffee and then a protein supplement. Lunch has been touch and go. Sometimes I can eat sometimes I can't and its another protein supplement. It seems like the flood gates are wide open at night though. By dinner time I'm usually loose enough to eat most things....

Getting Hungry Again!

I also drank about a cup of tomato soup about an hour before the dinner to help loosen up the band. The next day I did my usual routine coffee and carnation instant...

Finally some relief!

Posted 06-11-2009 at 04:53 PM by dacreid

Sick all the time!

Posted 06-08-2009 at 12:28 PM by dacreid

I'm new hear, and looking for advice if anyone can help.

I was banded on April 9th. I have the standard 10cc band. My first fill was about April 30th and I think they put about 2cc in. I felt restricted for a couple of days but after that could eat pretty much normally. I had only lost 1 pound when I went back for my 2nd fill on June 2nd. This time he put in 3cc. It will be a week tomorrow since that fill. I can't eat or drink anything cold-not even water! It just feels like...
