OH NO!!!!!

I winded up in the ER because the second day after my fourth fill (given Friday, April 15th), I couldn't drink anything but an eight oz cup of coffee the entire day. Of course I didn't go to the ER until the third day. I cried like a big baby since I was poked like 20 times by doctors who couldn't get to my port since my port is flipped. My surgeon was no where to be found so it was either doctors trying to get to my port or being admitted in the hospital. Finally they found a doc that was able to get to my port. I cried so much since it hurt so bad being ejected so much and moving the need all around in there trying to get to my port. I was crying even more when I saw he took all the liquid out. I was not happy about that. Why did he have to take all the freaking liquid out instead of taking some of it out. My fault too since I did not keep a log of how much fluid I have in my band. Now I have to go back to my surgeon which is the one who normally gives me my fills and also understands my port and does it in one shot. I don't know if she will refill me up to the point that I was good which was my third fill or do it over little by little. I have an appointment to see her this Wednesday (April 20, 2011). I am hoping that she can just fill me right back up to the Third fill. I am already starting to fell the hunger. I am trying my best and started from the beginning and doing the liquids to maintain and not gain any weight. I just wanted to share with you all what I went through.

Liquids again

Is it wrong to start liquids again? I was banded November 4, 2010 and had two fills so far. I have not loss any weight since the surgery. I blame myself since I can't stop eating the bad stuff. I am not being that person I thought I could be, disciplined. I have decided to put myself back on the liquid diet for two weeks to catch up on weight loss since I feel that I am less hungry when I was doing the high protein shakes than I am when eating food. I know it's my mind since I can sit there and eat and not listen to my body if I'm full or not. Well, I hope with my third fill I have no choice but to control. Third fill Feb. 18th.

I just can't get it together

I am so weak when it comes to food control. I just got my first fill on November 10th and I feel as if I didn't get a fill. I don't feel any ristriction and I am hungry as if I didn't get banded . When I went for my first fill, I weight in and gain 10 lbs. How embarrasing is that? My surgery was November 4th and a week after that I had lost a total of 35lbs (with the pre-op) but put back 10 lbs. I just can't get it together. I want to lose weight so bad however, being that food goes down with no problems, I'm not doing the food measuring thing right. There are foods that I shouldn't be eating and I know this, yet I eat. Another thing is that my sergeon told me that my port flipped. She hit me 6 times with the needle trying to get it in the port. She tried turing it a bit so that she can someone put the needle in. She claims she was able to fill in 3.5 cc but how do I know if it worked. She also told me if next time she has a hard time, I might need revision surgery. I pray all goes well. I need to lose this weight.

Not happy with myself

11-18-2010 Hello All, I've been banded two weeks and all I've been doing for an entire week is eating. I wanted this band because I know that I am weak minded and needed help with control. I am always hungry like before the band and instead of making the right choices, I've been eating everything I shouldn't. :redface: I get my first fill December 10th and I pray that this will stop me from eating the way I do. :smile:

8 More Days

Hello All, in 8 days I will be banded by Dr. Kurian (NYC). I'm soooo nervous and excited at the same time. I'm so afraid and pray so hard that I don't regret this. I am 5 feet 3 inches tall and my starting weight is 270 lbs. I've been on liquids now for 6 days and so far lost 8 lbs. Wow! I'm excited about the weight loss but still very afraid of the future with the band.
