Feeling fustrated...



Recommended Posts

I thought I was in the green zone and I didn't get a fill for 3 months. I'm 15 months banded. Then I found that I could eat a little more and was getting hungry in between meals. So I went in May on my 1 yr. and had a a little fill. I was feeling fine a lil tight but not to bad. Now the past 3 weeks I can hardly eat. I don't ever vomit but I do that slimming thing (nasty) and I hurt. I can hardly get my Protein in but I weighed today and I have gained 3 lbs. I'm scared to get any taken out but I can't stand not eating or hardly being able to drink my Protein Shakes. I usually can't eat or drink anything before 2 pm except Water. I need advice...

Talk to your doc but it sounds like you're a little tight.

It's sounds like you need a tiny defill... maybe .25 cc. I have a friend my lapband coffee group who had a similar situation and she had a tiny defill.. made a big difference and she is back on track and is now losing and able to eat with no issues.

My body is hyper sensitive to fills. I cannot get anything more than .25 at a time or I will be so tight that I can't even get saliva down. Go to the doc and have your fill taken out then go gradual from there on out. Good luck!

Thursday I had .25 put in my band. All weekend I have not been able to keep anything down. I called the doc this morning but they are closed. I am trying to drink my Protein Shake but its going down so slow. :(

      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.
