Too much!

Two weeks ago I had my third fill - added .5 cc - so currently I am at 4.5cc. I followed instructions and for first two days I only had liquids and then mushy food.   Since then, I have been spitting up almost anything non-liquid I try to eat. I follow all instructions - small bites, chew well, no liquid right after eating, etc.   The only food that goes down with almost no spitting up is crab. I have been to Joe's Crab Shack 6 times in last two months....3 times in last two weeks!! I am going to go broke if this keeps up.   I am getting frustrated - wanting to taste other food - can’t stand cottage cheese and soup anymore.   Last week I started to get worried about all this and made an appointment with the doctor...but the day before the appointment I was able to eat three cups of rice and chicken...so I canceled...thinking it was just swelling earlier and I am good to go.   Am thinking it was a mistake to cancel. Since Friday I lost 5 to 7lbs and am constantly spitting up most food.   So, made another appointment for tomorrow - will have x-ray - to ensure my band did not slip or something like that. If it has not slipped, I will ask for that .5cc to be removed...or at least .25cc.   The only thing keeping me from bashing my head with a wet noodle is that thus far (since June 29), I lost 43lbs.

Second Filling

Today i had my second filling. I am currently at 4cc.   This time the needle poke hurt a little. Next filling in 3 weeks. I can't wait.   Lost another 2 lbs. I was worying that I was doing something wrong and not loosing any weight, but the doctor told me that was normal and i should start loosing a lot more once they get me fully filled - or whatever amount they deem sutable for me.

35 Days Post-op

So far so good! Lost 27lbs...that is not all that much, but the great part is that i have kept it off so far AND I loose more every day.

Month since surgery

It’s been almost a month since my surgery. Have lost 25 lbs so far...my band is currently empty...was emptied by surgeon the day of my surgery as I was not able to keep anything down. I did go down 30lbs but have gained 5 back once I got some solids in me...as I was craving lots of things. :thumbup: When I went for my 2 week post-op appointment, I got yelled at for trying solids too early. and was warned about the band slipping if I keep doing that. I go for my first fill tomorrow. I am a bit nervous but only because I hate needles. :smile2:

Surgery yesterday. Feel pretty sore.

Yesterday (Tuesday) was my surgery. After surgery, I had trouble swollowing and the doctor got some of the band fluid out - AUCH - long needle - but strangely it didnt hurt - all that much.   I made it thru the first night and at breakfast I had everything from the short liquid diet menu. Pain started shortly after that. This time it is worse than the pain before doctor got some of the fluid out of the band.   I came home today. Am hungry but any linquid i swollow hurts. Pain meds wear out in 1 hr.   My shoulders hurt. Why? Read the replies here and started putting warm blanket on my chest. Hope it works.   Am in bad pain. I am not new to pain. and this seems to be one of those that stand out in my memory. Will this get better tomorrow?
