Un-fill scheduled for Friday...



Recommended Posts

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"!

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!! :)

      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.
