Refilled and needing support



Recommended Posts

I had surgery almost 5 years ago, lost 80 total pounds and kept 70 off for over 3 years. However last fall due to stress I had to have band completely unfilled and gained 50 lbs back. Now I am in a better place ready to get back to my healthy weight, hoping to lose even more. Just had a major fill and should be close to my sweet spot. However, I need some input and support to get back on track because quite honestly, I have forgotten everything that I should be doing. Any help, suggestions or input will be GREATLY appreciated!

High Protein, low carb. Liquids right after the fill to get the swelling down and then ease into mushies then solids. I get a fill Monday so I'll be doing the same. Back to eating slow and chewing well. And no Water with your meal. Good luck!!!

Hi there, so glad you are back in sync -- sorry for all the stress and life complications but good for you for getting right back on track again with a fresh fill and support here. This is totally the right place for support and input. Best wishes!

....join the throng.....'forgot' isn't quite the word I use for myself.....'willfuly ignore important details' is more accurate despite my not quite having 'forgot'...[sound of one hand smacking forehead].....

good luck and Cheers on your journey

I am recently "back on the chain gang" also! Just got a fill about 2 weeks ago. I'm still not where I was 5 years ago restriction-wise, but it's much better and my GI came back good. I'm going back for a meeting with the "team" to go over things and I have a food log I have to keep (the log helps TONS). Hopefully we can all support each other through this journey!

Good luck!!

As you get closer to that "sweet Spot" as you call it...it is more important for me to learn how to "listen" to my band, that is learn the foods that are tolerable, obey all the signals unless pay the consequences....develop those new habits in order to co-exist with the band to where it is functioning at it's peak, and less of me doing the work...just learn to comply, which can be very hard at times, but rewarding in the end.

Fighting the band, I never won....

Well thought I was having a major setback...had to go see dr due to Water not stsying down. Luckily only a small unfill. I was able to drink a cup of water as well as eat two chicken nuggets for lunch! This is what my sweet spot felt like before. So glad to feel it right again....had lost 12 lbs since Tuesdy and even though it was mostly water weight, it was great to see the number down and gave me the boost to let me know I can do this!!!

      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.
