QUOTE (MommyLiz @ Dec 1 2009, 04:00 PM) Please Help!!! I was banded 11 days ago 11/20. The first 6 days I was not hungry or thirsty at all. I ended up getting dehydrated, may have had a GI bug. Once I got IV fluids I felt sooo much better. Since then I have been starving. I had two small meals, yes SOLIDS and am so mad at myself. I'm afraid I messed up something though I feel fine. Not sure...

I have been doing ok with food but l I know my weight loss has slowed down and I could be doing better. I haven't been to the gym at all. I don't know what happened it's like I see I've lost weight and I feel a lot better now so I've become comfortable where I am at and not...

My band is so unpredictalble that some times it feels like I don't even have one. At other times, same time of day and same food will get stuck. And yeah I do take advandage of those times. but I feel bad after and wonder if somthing is wrong, do I need a fill? Am I causing damage by doing this? Then it will close up and I am glad that I didn't run in for a fill. I don't know if everyone has this same experience or not

Angie, I hear ya! Since I saw that I lost six pounds last week and was in the 160's, it's like I've given myself a free pass- I ate way too much crap on the weekend and now I'm afraid to step on the scale. I guess I'll see what kind of damge has been done tomorrow. This will be VERY hard for me (I weigh morning and night too) but I will try staying off the scale except on Wednesdays...we'll se if it helps...

I have learnt through this process that ANYTHING is possible and wow what a Ride you are getting on! I did two shakes and one lean cuisine on my pre-op diet and lost 16 pounds in 17 days. I started out at 262 and will be the first to admit that I thought I would NEVER be able to do...
