After almost a year being banded.....

Okay, so I have addmitted to myself that I am too tight. I have fallen into soft calorie syndrome. It sucks. I hope I can get a tiny unfil on Monday. My weight loss has been so-so and eating is too hard. I have fallen to soft foods, especially ice cream. BAD BAD BAD!!!!!

Kind of depressing, but I want to get the unfill before I have to worry about a slip or erosion.

Very nice to see you are on top of being to tight! Hopefully you will be back to hard protein in no time!

It looks like my appt. isn't until a week from tomorrow. I am worried about being too loose, but I believe my doc will just take out .1cc

That should help enough.

Wow Julieann I don't know what too tight feel like. I just blog about hoping I get to my sweet spot soon. I hear how so many people get full so quick and I can still eat. But there is a different in my eatting habits. I do eat less than I did before I was banded. It's not a big diffferent like I hear other people stories.

I hope the unfill works for u. Keep me inform.

I just gotten a fill Monday and I ate a slice of Pizza Hut pizza with no problem. lol

Great job!!! Seriously, I think it's great and smart that you know your too tight and you're doing something about it! As you know so many here avoid unfills and end up with much worse problems. Good for you for adjusting this now! Like you said...a tiny bit may be all you need to make all the difference! Hang in there this week and stay on sliders so you don't end up with PB's. Good luck! -BG

Thanks guys. I know it doesn't make any sense, but I almost feel like I have fail somehow and gotten too tight. I know that sounds crazy. I guess I always looked so forward to fills that to unfill, even a tiny bit seems WRONG! Oh, and the pizza thing....there is NO WAY I could do something like that.

I have realized that maybe part of my problem is that I am eating too much. I keep eating and then feel stuck, but I may just be over full. Instead of my hamburger patty and cottage cheese I had only 1/2 a patty and cottage cheese and I ate that over 20 minutes and I felt good, but if I would have kept going then I would have been TOO FULL and needed to PB. I'll watch that closely this next week. It would be nice if that was my entire problem, but I don't think so.:thumbup:
