Only your Doctor knows your condition, and make sure you talk to them before making any changes to your diet

if you get over full you will realize that quickly... its almost like heartburn... when you lay down it starts to bother you...

Once you find your right fill amount, you are set.

Topic: RE: 5 months post op help

I know exactly what you were doing, because at first I did it too! Now I'm 8 months out (down 50!!) and my band is at 9ml (11ml capacity). I now physically CAN'T push food through with liquids like I did before! I think once you have a few more fills you will get to the right tightness, and you too will find the weight dropping off more quickly. I think the biggest key is realizing (no pun intended haha)that every single calorie we eat we will digest and store! Everything in moderation, and remember the rules are there to help us. Like Tom said, they put a band around our stomachs, not our brains, and it's taken me this long to really embrace that! Good luck on your journey!

Topic: RE: With Margie?s Love

Tom,I so appreciate you posting this, and am sorry for your loss. My mom died when I was 10...she had breast cancer. I NEVER ignore a mammogram! My dad died when I was 12..heart failure...that is one of the reasons WLS was my option to help lose weight after diet and exercise alone failed. Thanks again for the reminder of how precious life is and that it is our responsibility to keep healthy for our families. Love you Tom!

Tom.....thank you for posting this and I KNOW it will hit home with someone out there who ignores things that their bodies are trying to tell them and won't go to the doctor. I am sorry for your loss and as someone who has also lost both parents....it is hard...especially around the holidays. Have a blessed weekend.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian
