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. :lol: 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. :P 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:

i know you were asking the questions but I have a question for you. Sorry! How did you know if you were too tight? I got a fill 6wks ago and I was doing great and now I can barely eat without getting a slimy build up in my throat. I have been drinking liquids mostly for two days and eating mushys. Is that a sign something is stuck or did my band get tighter?

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.

Mom on a journey it sounds like you are mentally saying "I'm free, I'm free. What can I eat!" I think you need to come up with a old school diet to hold you over until you get a fill. Did'nt you need to do that after your surgery but before your first fill? Get a food scale and weigh your Protein and if neccesary measure out your veggies as well. I don't want to come across as a witch but if you eat with abandon you will gain weight. That's a fact.

Okay, thanks for the info this was very helpful! No, I am not throwing up and can drink Water with no problem. Maybe I am just feeling restriction and I haven't ever felt it like this before? I go for a fill on Thursday and I will have them check things out to be sure. Thanks!

mom- Hang in there! It will get better. It is a frustrating process getting to your "sweet spot". Until your fill I would concentrate on eating the right things (low fat, low carb, high protien). Your portions may be bigger than they will be when you get restriction but it should keep your weight from spiraling out of control. Also, start working out if your not already. If you are, maybe you can bump it up to compensate for the food. Good luck! Keep us posted on how your doing.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
