I went to PV today but was unable to get the de-fill :think . I{ll be OK I just drink and I am fine (for some reason not alcohol:phanvan ) I bought some Protein Powder. Hope its good.

Getting to the clinic will be a little more difficult than I thought. I have a 10cc band and I have 8.5cc's My last fill they gave me 1.5 cc's

I know you will understand (i hope) my mentality when I say that I kinda don't want to get an un-fill cause I will be able to eat. It is so screwed up, the things that go through my head. "isn't this my ultimate dream--to NOT be ABLE to eat" I had always wished for it. Now I can barely eat and I am a little afraid of less restriction.. I think "if I could i'd being eating this and this and that, so its a good thing I can't at all"

Anyway I feel fine. I make sure that if my pee is too stinky or little I drink more.

oh my goodness... what!? Why couldn't you get a defill?

I totally know what you mean. When I could barely eat, I wanted so badly to just go back to where I was before the fill, but I was also so scared that I would be able to eat too much again... it's stupid. Really... is there such a hurry? Get even .5cc taken out... I bet you'll get SO much relief with that. I wish I could have when I was going through what you are.

Why couldn't you get a little defill? Seriously Lila, you can't live like this... its been too long, and it's not letting up... you need some taken out. You don't want to risk losing your band for this, do you? It'd be much worse to have to have your band removed, wait at least 6 months to be rebanded, and then only if you could afford it a second time! What is worse, that, or taking a bit longer to lose the weight you have to?

And you better get LOTS of Water in (at least 64 oz/2 litres) and yes, those Protein shakes!

:) tough love :hug:

Lila????? I HOPE the reason you "couldn't" get a defill was not YOUR choice but something else???!!! Ahem.....although I fear it was the latter!

Mandi is completely right....this isn't the way the band is supposed to work, my friend....but you know that (right?) so I won't keep babblin' about it!

Think things through...... .5 cc could be the entire difference!

Tough love indeed!!

:rolleyes Take care.

I have heard that if you don't eat enough you will be working against the band. The body will go into starvation mode if it doesn't get enough calories and then you still won't lose weight. This is not a good or healthy state to be in, kiddo.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
