Un-fill scheduled for Friday...

[alice 0]

I can't see the value of eatting 1/2 cup of soft food the rest of my life! Sure, I can get some Soups down and sometimes late at night some real food, but I am not interested in a "quick-fix". This is going to be something that I am going to live with for the rest of my life.

I have lost 5 lbs the past 11 days and I just think that is too fast too. I want a 1-2 lb weight loss per week.

Am I crazy? I read some people are begging for restriction, but good grief, I would like to eat real food just not so much of it!

I am at 1.6cc. I was at 1.cc before my fill. I am thinking of asking him to remove .2cc to put me at 1.4cc.

Any thoughts?

Alice, I agree! The band is made to work w/hard Proteins. Soft foods go right through and leave you hungrier sooner. Just a tiny unfill will make all of the difference in your ability to eat the right foods. Good for you for "thinking"!

That's a first! But you're exactly on the right track!

Alice only you know how you feel. , personally I think you are being a very responsible bandster, we have the rest of our lives to get to goal.

Having . 2 removed can make a big difference in the foods you can eat but yet stil lgive you enough restriction to still lose weight.

I know EXACTLY how you feel. I had to have an unfill, and I'm hyper when it comes to needles, so you know I must have needed it. I think you're taking a step in the right direction.

Absolutely agree that you're doing the right thing. Being banded is not supposed to be torture. Let us know how it goes!!
