So I haven't had no food no Protein Shakes in 2(two) whole days. I had a fill Tuesday and I guess my band is too tight now, because I can't keep no liquids down. So today I go back to get a little of this Fluid taken out.

Soungs like you're doing the right thing. I had a fill a little over a week ago and I haven't been hungry since. I can drink and eat I just haven't felt the want to. You know your body best and its not good if you're starving and can't keep fluids down. I know it takes some time for the swelling to go down after a fill and I would say to wait it out if you could, but no fluids and you'll get dehydrated and that will cause some serious issues. Let us know how things go!

that's how it has been for me, for well over 2 years now....the band controls my hunger 24 hrs/day, NOT by making me feel full, or restricting the ability to eat....it's just that the lack to need to...no interest or overwhelming desire....

I believe the mere presence of the band, properly adjusted, tells my brain I'm full, therefore I have no need to eat, even though I have not physically done so, and have no physical feeling of being full.....it took a while to figure out what was going on, but once I did it has been heaven!!

The band is there 24hrs a day, so the signals to my brain are there 24 hrs a day....

I eat because I know I have to, but sometimes I just don't want to continue....

I am glad that you realized you are too tight! I hope that this unfill will be what works!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
