Trying to stay focused

stephied · May 28, 2008

Hi everyine, I have been away for a few months. I was banded on 03/06/07. I have had several fills, a total of 3.0 cc's. My doctor gives 2 to 4 cc's at at time. My last fill was first week of April. I am having a difficult time this last week keeping several different foods down. I started at 272 and I am down to 219. I am able to drink plenty of liquids. Is this normal what i am going through. do you think it is just a poor choice in foods. I take a bite of something and i actually wait about 15 to 20 minutes before i take another. I have not lost anything since my last fill, I have actually gained 2 lbs. I beleive I get tire of throwing up so I eat something soft that goes down easily. Just looking fo some great advice. Thanks!! :sad:

I have not had any fills yet - because I am fearful of this happening (and lots of other things).

But when I do, I would have to say, I would call right away for an unfill if I could not eat without getting sick. Is this how other fills worked for you? You have done so well losing weight in the past - I am guessing that you were able to eat and lose the weight.

Please call and have the doctor remove some Fluid so you can eat more normally. You will feel better and probably be able to lose weight again. Your body won't be in starvation mode.

I hope you feel better.
