Unfill/fill



Recommended Posts

As anyone had luck with getting totally unfilled and starting over? The dr said no more fills for me but I don't think I'm at restriction. Still have 25 pounds to go. Is it worth making an appointment with my surgeon?

from what i have read on this forum most who have been filled then completely unfilled never reach that same level of restriction again. If you are at max fill then i suggest u look at other methods to shed this 20lbs ... u dont mention how much fill u have or what size band so is it just your doctor who wont fill u any more and another might ?

Something needs to change tho, maybe look at what calories u are eating or how those calories are made up, reduce the carbs maybe increase the Protein etc same with exercise increase it , u are so close to goal dont let this beat u, the solution is out there somehwere u just need to make sure u burning more clories than u are consuming.. a defecit of 500 calories per day will lead to a loss of 1lb per week.. some of us, like i was had to stick to 1000 calories a day and still burn lots of calories to lose the weight u just need to start changing things around till u find something that works. Exercise... maybe do more strength after your cardio that will help burn more calories, good luck with it anayways :) if u think u have a leak in the band maybe go back to your surgeon anyways and get it checked out :)

      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.
