globally.....what do you mean by sugar free syrup? Do you mean flavorings like DeVinci or Torani flavors?

City: Chattanooga State: TN | hello all
Glad to be a part of the May 2008 banders. I was banded in Chattanooga TN last Thursday, May 29. As of this morning, I have lost 8 pounds since surgery.
I'm excited about finally starting to feel better and getting to use the band to it's full potential. I've got a long road ahead, but I am glad to finally get started!  | |

Thanks ladies!! 
The only bad thing is - my surgeon said that since I am doing so well, I may not need a fill on the 3rd of July...she said, we'll see. BUT she may be right, I do still have a good amount of restriction from being filled during surgery. I just hope I continue on this pace and I do want to start exercising!
Good luck to everyone else..I hope we continue to do really well!

I want more!!  . I have been being very hard on myself because the scale hasn't moved in about a week. It is probably my body adjusting to my new weight. Once a week sounds like a good plan!! | |

I went for my first fill today and I told the doctor that I wasn't eating very much at all. But when he looked on the floroscope, I was completely open.
So, he started off with 4 ccs (his usual first fill) but when I drank the barium nothing went through and boy did my chest hurt from the reflux. So, he first took our 1cc, then another. So, I got 2 total. And boy, do I feel the restriction. I can barely get down my protein drink. Supposedly, it will loosen just a bit in a couple of days......that's why liquids for 2 days and then mushies for two days after the fill.
He told me to make an appointment to see him in 4 weeks, but no fill appointment as he thinks I may not need another at this point.
He was thrilled with my weight loss, and I have to fix my siggy to show another lost pound +.
