Recommended Posts

Hello all,

I know it may not seem like alot but for me it is....I have the dernest time with alllooottt of foods, to where I find myself drinking starbux and eating fried chicken nuggts. At this point nothing else can get down. Any suggestions wld be great from those tht are about my same cc amout or higher. Protein Shakes are gud but get old.....Hugs....

if you have too much restriction and nothing is going down, sounds like you may need a slight unfill. One can not live on Starbucks and fried chicken nuggets alone!

I agree that you may need a slight unfill as if you can't eat healthy foods you are too tight, but I do not believe that starbucks and chicken nuggets are the only things that will go down. If you can eat those then surely you could also have something like a Protein shake or yogurt which are far healthier.

Go and get some fill taken out and start making proper, healthy choices.

i have six cc in my band as well, for almost a month I was noticeably restricted due to period bloat, then after my ccyle resolved I'm now able to eat 3 meals a day without a problem. did you get a fill durring "that time" of the month? It can have an effect. My doctors office said that durring that time of the month some gals come in for slight unfils while other's focous more on liquids until things simmer down. Hope this helps.

Remember...Soup is a liquid it will just go through your band. Not supposed to have liquids with meals as it will flush food out of your lapband pouch. Most Soups are full of high calories too.

      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.
