Ahhhh I've forgotten how good eating can be :)



Recommended Posts

Sounds strange huh?

Well I've been over filled for the past 6 weeks and had to resort to eating Soup, soup and nothing but soup. Every time I would try a solid I'd slime and vomit. It go to a point where I got so depressed I'd dream of real food. Granted I was loosing a good amount of weight but thats not the reason I got the band to ONLY eat soup or liquids.

Needless to say I got a whopping 2cc's removed today. My Doc said my previous restriction level was perfect, I said sure if ALL I wanted was SOUP!!!

He was willing to unfill me did it under Fluro so he knew how much to take out, I felt immediate relief. It was like a weight was lifted off my chest. I really didnt realize that for 6 weeks I was living with this tightness in my chest and constand slimage in the back of my

throat.

I can eat now and not be scared. I am concerned about weight loss slowing down or stopping so I just need to be more mindfull of what actually goes in my mouth now. No more high calorie Soups just to meet my daily calorie intake.

I feel good now :)

Yay :) glad to hear it; maybe when you start to get fills again have him go VERY slow and small since your band only holds 4cc.

Oh yes, I know exactly how you felt! I have had to have fill removed 3x. 2x it was the whole fill for a month. One time it was just 1/2 cc. Right now, I am in maintenace, and have nothing in my band,a s I had a slip. (which you should be glad you didn't get).

Just keep up with what you are doing, you should be fine. Karen

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
