needing some advise

doglover · October 27, 2006

I need some help:help: making a decision and I figured this was the best place to get it since you all understand where I'm coming from . I'll try to make this as short as possible. 4cc band August 16th, 1cc fill Sept 25th (no restriction), 1.5cc fill Oct 2nd (good restriction), very happy with 41 pounds lost:clap2:. Averaging about 2 pounds per week. My problem is I'm still eating soft food. I eat a lot of Soup, applesauce, oatmeal, Protein Shakes can even eat a Peanut Butter cup. I can't eat chicken unless I chop it up first with a food chopper. I have pb'd twice since my last fill.

I don't know if I should have some Fluid taken out or not. Again, pleased with the weight loss but thinking I should be eating more "normal" than I am. Please Help!

Give it some time.It sounds close to me. Sometimes it takes a while to adjust like a week or two...

I think you should have some Fluid taken out. You have given it 25 days and you are unable to eat solid Protein. Maybe take out .2 - .3 cc and see how it works. Also make sure the chicken is not too dry. And call your physician and see what he thinks. But remember the band wasn't made so that you could eat soft food all the time
