  1. Hi everyone! I have recently been unfilled due to a possible slip. I am eating 5 small meals in attempt to not back track during this time of "unfill" After I eat, with in an hour, I am SO hungry. I am eating high Protein, but it is just not working. I feel like if I just eat a huge sandwich I would feel so much better. I am taking in about 1300 calories. 1. Im curious to know how many calories you all take in (I didnt track when I had my fluid). I didnt know about this board so that is a question I have always had.... 2. Any suggestions to cure my hunger? For instance today for Breakfast I had some instant oat meal (not alot of protein there), snack I at turkey and cheese "roll ups',

    You HAVE to try this!

    Oh and the nutritional facts ended up being a bit different, but not a big difference.

    Oh no! Im not the original poster I just wanted to see what the nutritional facts were... I did get it posted. I saved it under my meals, not receipes.... but anyway its up there... I hope the original poster does not mind! I named it Spinach Receipe.

    Seeking OBGYN Raleigh NC

    I dont know if you are actually in Raleigh or possibly looking for a OB in a better area than where you are (Thats what I did). I went to Greenville and found the BEST OBGYN and MidWife there. Carolina Womans Physicians in Greenville. I drove an hour 1 way there each appointment, and dont regret a SINGLE minute of it! They didnt have much experience with banded patients, but we all learned a lot together.
  6. I just weaned my little one at 6 months old. She is 7.5 months now. I got a small fill about 2 months post partum. I was still able to eat plenty to maintain a healthy milk supply (I was actually an over producer- I made about 50-60 oz a day-I Exclusively pumped because she would not latch). I got a second small fill while I was still nursing. In the end I was at about 5.75cc right before I weaned (I knew I was weaning before I got to the 5.75), but I THINK I was at about 4.5 before that last fill. Start small. Explain to your provider that you want SOME restriction, but NEED to be able to eat 1600 calories to maintain a good supply. You want this restriction so you dont feel like you are starving between meals, but can still eat a well balanced diet. You are not the only one going through this. I agree with the previous poster. I sounds as if you were maybe too full before. You should still be able to eat.... I am not an expert either, but I have been there, recently. I know how you feel!
  7. I did until I finally got ALL the fluid out at around 20 weeks... Then It was a FREE FOR ALL... Unfortunately now it looks like I have slipped (most likely from the massive vommiting even after the removal of fluid because of kidney failure).... I hope you called your doc and got this sorted out!

    All except the spinach sounds good- I can do spinach, just never blended it with fruit.... Im going to give it a shot though! I entered all the info into MFP and got the following nutritional facts: Fat 1g Sodium 143mg Potassium 890mg Carbs 53g (ouch) Sugars 30g Fiber 11g Protein 17g

    I feel like an idiot!

    Wow, when you said tuna, I just KNEW you were gonna say it was stuck! But seriously, its ok! if you slipped you know know it... wouldnt be able to hold anything down! 2 days post op I wanted some Nes Quick strawberry Milk.... So.... afterwards, I am sitting on the side of the bath tub (which is right next to the toilet) Dry heaving. Mind you, I was only 2 day out, so the heaving it self about KILLED ME. My prayer went something like this "Please God, I dont want to throw up! It will hurt SOOO bad. Please dont make me throw up, I swear, I will not drink anything but Water until I have been given the ok" I laugh at it now, but I was in tears at the time. Point is, we all make mistakes. We have to learn from them.

    Lost my lap band!

    Im so sorry you had to go through that (Its what I was going through before the Fluid was removed from my band), but at the same time you have given me hope! Since having the fluid removed I have not had ANY trouble eating/drinking. I wish you the best of luck! I cant imagine what it feels like.

    Lost my lap band!

    Were you still having problems even after you had no fluid in your band?

    Lost my lap band!

    Im sorry I have no advise for you except to agree with what the previous posters have said. I have a question for you though. You said that was your second one? Did your surgeon remove the first one and replace it in the same surgery? I have a possible slippage (Upper GI on Tuesday to confirm), and I did not even think about the option of not having my band!! Im a bit scared now. I so sorry for your loss! I can not imagine. I have been unfilled for almost a week now and feel like im going to go insane!

    Cant keep anything down??

    How many calories

    Typically eggs are my breakfast of choice. This AM I was running late for work, grabbed a bowl, the packets of oatmeal and ran out the door! Didnt heat it up until I got to work. I am exersizing at least 4 time a week, typically 5-6 times. I walk/jog/run... (Im a runner wanna be, but I will get there eventually). But the heat is extreme here in Eastern NC, so I dont get out as much as I would like-I cant take my 7 month old out for that long in this heat. Before the unfill, I didn't HAVE to eat at all. I could take a sip of Water and was ok... but I knew that this was not ok. If I ate or drank anything more than a tiny sip, I threw it up Anyway, thanks for the input, I am hoping my pouch was just swollen and irritated... The upper GI will tell on Tuesday....HERES TO HOPING!!!

    I am glad you called! I am going through the exact same thing! It sux! Im 2.5 years out and doc just took ALL my fluid. He believes I have a slip. I will have an upper GI on Tuesday, to confirm (hopefully deny) this. You did the right thing by calling your doc... I waited for 2 months... I REFUSED to get an unfill, but then I passed out. Dehydration. I was stupid for not calling sooner! Lets us know what your doc says!

    How do I know if I have a slip?

    I am currently dealing with a possible slip. Everything (water included) came back on me. At night I could hold down something, but anything before 6-7PM was NOT staying. I finally went in on Monday to see the surgeon, and he belives that my band has slipped. I have an upper GI to confirm (I hope it will show that it has not) this. Until then I have had ALL my fluid removed. So I would say if you are able to keep the food/water down you are most likely ok... However if you have any concerns, please call your surgeon.

    Weighing in at 243 (I think thats where I was last week).... I was completely UNFILLED due to a possible slippage last week, so I guess I am ok with this.... I hope it wasnt a slippage, and I will begin getting refilled NEXT Friday....

    Checking in today. 242 Lbs, So that is down 1lb.... not happy with it, but better than up a lb, I recon!
  24. My husband and I are planning our second child, even though I have not made my goal weight. Has any one gone through a pregnancy with you 'optimal' fill level? Honestly, I think Im mostly likely too tight now, but am ok with it. Most days I can only eat a small dinner (No breakfast, lunch, or snacks). I dont want to gain much during pregnancy (I had ALL fluid removed with first pregnancy and gained 80 lbs---completely my fault) I would like to remain at my current fill level, but I worry I will need to nurtition for the pregnancy.... I will, of course, speak with my OB about this, but I wanted to see if you all had any input....
