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!

      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.
