A fill or something else?

marillon · February 11, 2008

I had the lapband placed on 18th of October 2006. Its an 6 CC band with 5 CC in. I had 2 fills and last one was in October 2007. I was not able to eat any quantity of food and did not feel hungry. I lost like 65 KG. At first I lost fat all over my body except my stomach which was my biggest probleem. Finally it started to come off there. Since a month I can now eat anything I want. Saturday I was able to sit through an 8 course Japanese meal without even having any problems. I can even eat bread and anything I want. I cant eat HUGE quantities but I can easily eat an steak or 1 slice of bread. I have never managed more than a quarter of a slice of bread. I am also starving and feel the need to eat. Could it be that I finally lost enough fat on my stomach that I can actually eat a lot again or is this actually the quantity I am supposed to be eating.

I need to loose before August another 15 KG because of plastic surgery.

Thursday I have an appointment with my surgeon and will try to get him to give me another fill and fill it up to 7 CC. He told me he could overfill the band? He will also put my port right as it has flipped and it is not reachable.

I need to loose another 15 kg as I have made an appointment with an plastic surgeon to fix myself up. After loosing so much weight I look really bad and I want to finally start to feel better after this long struggle. 'Just' another 14 kg sigh. So after the fill I am going to go on an liquid Protein diet as I also am stuck in an plateau for weeks and nothing seems to be happening. Anyone has experience with an liquid proteine diet to break through an plateau or to try to loose the final weight as soon as possible? I am afraid the plastic surgeon wont operate me till I am on my ideal weight although considering I have a lot of excess skin and am big breasted how can I ever hit that point?

What do you think?
