Hi everyone, so I had an unfill last Thursday because I could barely keep anything down that i was eatkng. Now i realize I might not jave been used to having to chew and take small bites. Well anyways, they took out 1/4 cc. Now I feel like I have zero restriction and have gained two pounds. I have an app this Monday for a fill and I'm trying to decide if I should get The 1/4cc put back in. Any thoughts?

I think you should leave that decision up to your surgeon.

If you had to have .25cc removed then getting that same amount put back in would likely be a mistake. If you have another fill, I would try a smaller amount, like even .1cc

The green zone is a tiptoe in my band. Chewing and slow eating is necessary when I feel I am in the green zone. Also drinking within an hour or less of eating for me is a problem . Slow and steady. Your Dr. will be the best to help you find what works.

When I had my first unfill she took out .4 which was the amount of my previous fill. I went back 2 weeks later and she gave me .25 and was fine after that.

Talk with your doc and decide together what is right.

      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.
