Dealing with an unfill



Recommended Posts

Hi

Due to some complications I have had to have 3cc removed from my band. This is the first time since being banded that I have experienced any complications.

I have to admit I am having a little trouble dealing with it. I am really being tested now on how much I have actually learned about eating correctly. I have little or no restriction for the first time in over a year. I have to admit I am petrified that I am not up to the task, and that I will start to gain weight. I will eventually be able to start having fills again, but it will be a slow process. I am within 15 to 20 lbs of my goal weight. Any advise from anyone who has gone through something similar would be greatly appreciated. How do I stay on the right track?

Right now it will just be pure old fashion will power. Keeping reminding yourself how close you are to your goal and stop thinking that the band did it ALL. YOU did a lot of the work, you chose to eat well you chose to not eat around your band you chose to work hard, just keep doing that and you will do just fine until you can get refilled.

I've never had so much of an unfill, but I did have a tiny one back last spring. I pushed through the increased hunger with lots of fluids.

Best wishes to you.
