I'm having the same issue...I can barely eat and when I do it's really uncomfortable. I have a hard time fulfilling my Water intake as well. I have no energy probably from the lack of food and I'm starting to have a sickly look only after a week. I have 15lbs to goal, so my doctor decided to give me one more fill. He gave me a .5cc, but it was too much. I went last friday and he pulled out .2cc's, but still even having shakes is a bit tough. I have scheduled my unfill appt on March 2 and I'm waiting until then because that is when he will be able to do the fill and view me under x-ray to make sure and see the liquid is flowing to my stomach. This is a tool to help with portion control, not restrict you from eating completely. Good luck to everyone!

had a .5cc fill and it was too much had the chest pain, acid reflux and choked on my own saliva. could not sleep. Went back yesterday to the Dr and had a .25cc unfill, so far the symptoms are gone, but I may still be tight. Will stay on liquids to see how it goes. I had never experienced this before. Not fun!!

you look amazing!!! -
1 year ago today I began my journey, 96lbs down and still going. Got another fill yesterday to help me hit my 100 and to get to my ultimate goal of 115lb loss!!

Sounds like you may need an unfill. I would call your dr's office and ask. Good luck.

Hi Girl, Thank you for the compliments...I'm 6lbs shy of my 100 lbs, but I'm almost there! The waiting game is always nerve wrecking. I have a blog you can follow me there as well! Good luck!

You look Fabulous! -
I have some of those peeps too, but you just have to pep talk yourself and remind you that having those ideas or behaviors is what got you were you were at. So we just have to get up and do it to get to your goal. No one else will benefit from it, but you! So I just say try to encourage them and if not get up and do it yourself. Good luck!

it's definately a lot of work and it may take several fills or unfills until you get your sweet spot. The point is not to give up. Good luck on your journey!

Well really sit and think what your Dr told you...Only you know the truth behind how hard you have been trying. Have you been eating too much? Do you have enough restriction? Have you been eating too many carbs? Are you drinking with meals? Are you eating enough protein? Exercise? Do you count your calories? I know it's different for everyone, but do ask yourself these questions and see if that is where you find your issue. I really can't tell you exactly what may be going wrong, but maybe a consult with the nutritionist again may help you...I have lost 92lbs in 11 months and love my band....I have followed everything to the "T" and thank God, I have had no complications.....good luck! -
I too had a makeup session at MAC and you don't have to buy all their product, but at least have an idea of how to do your make up and what best fits you! good luck

I had the same issue for the longest time. My doctor said it was normal due to my body being so out of wack with such quick weight loss. I am now 11 months out and I don't feel tired anymore. I thing it took me a good 6 or 7 months before I was able to not feel so tired

You look Amazing! What a transformation! -

pain and uncomfortable
mcastane replied to kittykat123's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It is very normal. Just remember this is only temporarily. All I can say is walk as much as you can and sip, sip, sip.
