mom on new journey

Thank you for your suggestion sound like a good idea to hold me over until then. And yes I think I am mentally saying "I'm free, I'm free". Thanks once again!!

Speaking for my self only... These are the symptoms I had. 1.I was not able to eat any sort of solid food, no matter how small the bite was or how well I chewed it. I was only able to get a couple of bites down and then I would have the build up of saliva and have to go and visit the bathroom. 2. Once I vomitted I was not able to even drink water unless hours went by and if I drank to fast I had to visit the bathroom. 3. I was only able to get maybe 20 ounces of H2O a day and that is not good. 4. When I sent to see my doctor she said my band was so irritated that she took out a little more so the swelling and irritation could go down. 5. I was only able to eat ice cream and other slidder foods. 6. My doc said that in the red zone for the lap and realize band you have no weight loss because you turn to comfort foods and you don't have any weight loss and poss weight gain. 7. She has be taking a prilosec for 30days to help heal any irritation that was done. 8. I honestly was vomitting anytime I ate or drank something. 9. Often times when I went for a removal I was bummed that they had to take out fluid but, this time I did not care. I was just very missrable. I hope this does help you guys. And remember I am speaking for my self and not for others.

Ditto to all the above. It is a great motivation when we are able to do something we were never able to do!!!

Good job:thumbup:. Keep it up

Wondering if anyone has lost controll of eating when they have had Fluid removal? :thumbup: I had a little over 2cc removed last week. I had a fill last month and it was too tight, went back a couple of days and had some removed. Still to tight and went back and had more. Then had to go back and they took out 2cc at that visit. I have been eating everything I was not able to eat. Chesseburgers, chips, candy, tacos basically everything in sight. :eek:I feel I have lost controll and am finding it hard to get back on track. I don't have a sense of fullness at this time. I have lost over 80 pounds. I am scared that I am going to start and gain weight back. I have my next appt on 11/18. :mellow:They said they will put back 1cc at that time. :huh2:I think that will put me at 6cc's . Please let me know that I am not the only one that has fallen off the wagon and what you did to get back on track. Thanks :smile:

Great Job!!! Keep it up!!!:scared2:

Hello, I had my band on 11/05/09. I had my first fill on 12/02/09 with 3cc. I am hungy in the am, not able to get to that sense of fullness and able to eat same amount of food as before the band. The first two weeks after the band I felt the best restriction and lost 11 pound. Unsure what I am doing wrong? My next fill is not until 11/25/09. Any advise anyone?:thumbup:
