In Dec 2012 I was at 5.5cc and I had a fill that bumped me up to 6cc. I had to have it let out because I was overfilled and I couldn't get anything but liquid down. In January the doctor took me back to my 5.5cc and now I don't feel any restriction. I have gained weight because I am hungry and having a hard time. I go tomorrow to talk to doc and maybe get a fill.

1) has anybody experienced this before? If so, were you able to finally feel restriction again? And

2) how do you get back "on track"????

Thanks for your help!!!!

you get back on track by eating your allotted amount

eat lean Protein, veggies and fruit and drink alot

3500 calories is a pound...if you eat more than you burn off, you will gain..

am glad you are seeing your dr tomorrow.

I had to have my band unfilled entirely for an emergency surgery in August (not band related). It wasn't until October when I finally got back to the Green Zone like I was before the unplanned surgery and band unfill.

Between August and October, despite being considerably more hungry than I was in the Green Zone and wanting to pig out on everything, I still managed to lose about 28 pounds. Was it easy? No, but I knew I had to stay in my daily calorie budget and a cup of food per meal if I wanted to continue losing despite the temporary surgery set back.

I know it's not easy, but you have to stick to your calories and portions despite the hunger. It's the only way to succeed until you are in the Green Zone again.

Best wishes.

I would make sure that you measure and track everythign that you eat. Make sure you are following your doctor's guidelines. Make sure you are eating solids and not shakes or other sliders. High Protein meals. If you are hungry drink some Water if you are still hungry after that have a smart hight protien snack. Best of luck to you!

      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
