Girl - go get unfilled - you are too tight - being too tight can cause problems with your band - call your doctor

Yes,you can be too tight. I just got reband 02/08 and went today for my 1st fill. You know they have you take sips of Water to make sure it goes down fine. Well it did go down fine. Immediately when I walked out of the doctor's office I had the feeling I had to throw up. Well being too tight is not a good feeling it felt like I was in labor pains, or had gas trapped in by back. I throw up about 6-8 times crying I could not take it anymore. I knew something was wrong I called the doctor office and they told me to come back. When she took the Fluid out the band immediatley the pressure and pain went away, this time I didn't want that much fluid.

your numbers got messed up and says 2st 3lb since may 31st. what was it supposed to say? i was banded november 2007 and have lost 48 pounds. i started as 245 on a 5'8 frame. my goal is 180. i know too tight is not good because it can wear on your band(my doc told me yesterday).

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
