hang in there! you can do it! I went for close to 3 weeks with less than 1 cc in my band after getting stuck on something and having a lot of swelling. I vowed to not gain any weight and actually lost >8 lbs. Yes I did let myself have a few things I normally can't easily eat (hamburger with bun) but didn't have fries with that etc.

you can do it!!!!

Vegas, do you have to go on liquids or anything while you’re defilled to try to shrink your pouch back?

Yes Liquids.. Im supposed to, im tring.. but there is only so much Soup i can handle..

If it makes you feel any better, when I was last (and first) defilled, I gained 10 lbs in a glorious 2 weeks, BUT once I was re-filled, I lost it again in less time than that. It's no biggie. Enjoy your 'time off', just not TOO much.

weighing 167 and haven't been there since my wedding 20 years ago and lovin it. Just can't seem to lose the last 22 lbs.

But hey, better than I was a year and a half ago.

so with you guys almost to your goals, will you go in for another fill?

[DeltaDawn 0]

Will I go for another fill? It is a question I keep asking myself over and over again. I have only had the 1 initial fill a year and a half ago (10 weeks post op). This has meant I have had only minor restriction... but that is fine as it is a tool. But... I might just need that extra kick to get to the finish line... we'll see.

I'm stuck with 15 pounds to goal !!!!!!

Deltadawn, Tonks, I was stuck for 6 months. I went in for a fill.

At this point even a .1 or .2 fill will make a difference.

I was vomiting for a day and half. Scary experience, posted on the support board. So anyway, puked for a day, didn't eat one thing, never lost an ounce......

Focusing on rehydrating today and bleaching every surface in the house. DH had it, I got it next, 3 kids still healthy, knock on wood.

Stay healthy folks.

Yep... I am trying to go without the fill... I have done well so far. So, I am upping my running and really looking at everything I eat. I will get to goal!!!
