Glad you're feeling relief! Often you only need a couple points of a cc removed to be able to eat properly. That's what I'm hoping for tomorrow. This morning I got stuck on juice! :wacko:

going in today for an unfill and now that I have read this I feel better. I haven't lost, can't eat good food so I eat the bad food since it goes down and i throw up at least once a day. He filled it just a tad too much last time. I had it unfilled for surgery and the second refill he went too tight. Going on vacation and do not want to be yack attacking in the middle of sea world. the other day I went out, had fish, couldn't make it to the bathroom, it was busy so i had to let it go in the sink. OMG I about died. Pregnant woman in there was real nice and concerned asked me if I was ok and I'm like, so sorry, so very sorry. I have the lap band and it's too tight. good gawd I wont be back there for a while. I did clean it up but egad.

Omg!!! That sounds just like how I was!! Having a unfill sounds like your going in the wrong direction but that is far from the truth!!! I had my unfill last Tuesday and it was the best decision i have made since Lapband! I can eat the right things now and actually enjoy it without having to taste it a second time when it comes back up!!! And I have lost 2 lbs! Best decision ever!!!! The doc said I had 6.6 in my 10cc band and she took .5 out it was the biggest relief ever! Good luck!!! Let us know how it goes!

      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.
