Finally Got A Lap Band Unfill...



Recommended Posts

I got my last fill in July and have a feeling it was too tight. Most of the time I would eat I would end up throwing up. It didn't matter if it was moist chicken or Soup. I would end up in the bathroom each time I would eat. Overall I wasnt happy and my weight loss was at a stand still. I was scared to go in for an unfill as I had lost 70 pounds and was happy with that and was afraid if I got an unfill that meant that I wouldn't have any restriction.

Finally, I got over myself. I joined a gym five weeks ago and started with a personal trainer twice a week. I went in and got just a small unfill. I can't express how good of a feeling it is to eat my lunch and not have to run to the bathroom! And I'm feeling better, healthier, and overall happier.

Just a note to say how thankful I am this holiday season for my band!! Can't wait to see how the weight loss continues in 2012!!

Happy Holidays Everyone!!

      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.
