Does an UNfill=party!!??



Recommended Posts

So i needed to get an unfill. I was having some chest pain and the doctor thinks i may have torn or irritated something when i had 1!!! minor PB gosh! anyhoot i wasnt tight at all. So she takes 1 cc out,in hopes that will facilitae the healing? and OMG! first i tested what I can eat at this level.Hmm what can I eat?? I promised i'd stay strong and eat healthy. Initialy it was hard very hard but then I just started to pig out. Here I am thinking well Illl get a fill abck and then its over... or "I couldnt eat bread for 6 months whats a little Peanut Butter and jelly sandwhich". Ive been on a 3 week party boat.. and i promise you as much fun as this sounds to each and everyone of you. I wont lie i thought it would be. But I learned that I am addicted. Now that I can eat.. Ill eat. Willpower is not being very helpful. It brought me back to why I got the surgry in the first place. For a moment there i started to fill my time and energy into productive things. And then food came to visit. Gd bless our bands.. yeh it gets bad and ugly sometimes..

but sitting here..just arriving from yet another party.. Im lookign fwd untill i lay low and leave the "party " scene. its time to get motivated and get back on track!

Good luck everyone..

and I hoooppppeeee I get a fill and this chest pain goes away..

Everyone seems to equate partying with nothing but having fun. They don't remember the hangover that ensues until the next morning.

You can do this on your own until you get a fill. If you can't keep a positive attitude; think of the hangover. Think of how much longer it will take to lose those party pounds.

Eat everything at the party but tone it down to 1/2 portions.

I had a fill before thanksgiving (had a total of 7.5cc in my 10cc band). It was fairly tight and about a week ago I began having reflux. I should have listened to that little voice in my head telling me to make an appointment for a slight unfill. This weekend I was only drinking liquids and felt like I had something stuck. I began vomiting (even after swallowing my own saliva). I went to the ER and luckily the chief surgical resident has been working with my bariatric surgeon for the past few months and was unable to help me........a complete unfill .....to let my stomach rest until I can see my doctor this week. I am keeping track of everything I put in my mouth and will still follow the band rules. I haven't worked this hard for the past two years to start gaining back even one pound back.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
