Slight Unfill And Could Eat A Cow!



Recommended Posts

So I keep my band pretty band but lately I've been stressing alot and it got even tighter to the point where i couldnt keep Water down. So I got an unfill and now I could eat a cow! It seems like anything and everything can go down in the morning and during the day, but at dinner time it's harder. Prob because I eat so much during the day right?

I need more food choices too, im getting tired of the same old stuff. Any Breakfast and lunch ideas? Also, any tips to stop eating so much i really dont want to get filled because im kinda enjoying this now :P im bad, i know. But hey I lost 106 lbs i think i deserve alil something now.

I am so there with you. I like to keep mine on the tight side, but after I had surgery in August it became too tight. I could barely keep anything down. So I had a slight unfill and now I can eat anything and everything. It has been a real struggle at times to choose healthy food.< /p>

Secondly I understand I have an empty band right now and I'm in the second trimester of my pregnancy and it takes everything I have not to eat everything I see!!!! And literally I could because I have no restriction! Trying hard to stick to healthy but every few days I just gotta have somethin I shouldn't!!

I am having the same problem. I had 5.5 cc's and got 1.5 taken out and I can eat everything! Im going back to my surgeon on November 29th and hopefully i can get maybe .5 cc's inn. this really sucks. Have you girls ever felt like this surgery hasnt worked for you? I feel like that all the time.

The phrase " I deserve something" worries me. That is part of the type of thinking that led to us being so overweight.

I've had a hard day at work.............I deserve something

I'm tired............I deserve something

I've lost xlbs.......... I deserve something.

We need to stop treating food as a reward and treat it as fuel. But we should also be able to eat a variety of foods healthy and not so healthy. We should not have our bands so tight that we cannot eat as that inevitably leads to future problems.Instead of good and bad foods we should look on them as all the time foods and sometimes foods.

Yes possibly you could eat a cow now but you will probably find that if you make good choices and allow your band to work the way it is supposed to then you will not be as hungry as you fear.

Rewarding yourself isn't bad. Im not going to allow myself to not eat anything bad because I shouldnt reward myself. You just have to plan for it. It doesnt even have to be with food. I def reward myself in many ways and i think that's a good thing. Im not saying to eat mcdonalds or pizza for every meal but once in a while it's okay. We are human and can eat it. Why deprive ourselves?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
