:scared2:I got my lap band in Nov of 2006 and I lost almost a hundred pounds by Nov of 2007. Then got pregnant. I had my baby august of this year. I went back for my band fill and have had nothing but problems. The first fill the dr sd he wasnt sure if he got it in or not but he put 3 cc and told me to eat liquids all week. by the end of that week I was starving so I called him back and he said well maybe it didn't go in. so he re did the fill for 2 more cc and the same thing so he sent me to the hospital for a fluro fill and this time it took. By the time I got home I had a small glass of Water and it was not working i want6ed to just throw up. could not keep nothign down. By the next day was very sick called the doctor then then had me admitted and deflated. Two weeks later I got reinflated and the same thing I am so restricted on 2 cc. I am sitting here can barely drink water want to throw up and can not even eat food. It has been 3 days sisnce my fill and I have not been able to eat anything. What is going on???? Anyone have any ideas b/c my dr sure teh hell dont....please advice...

well u obviously need to get unfilled. for some reason, there is too much restriction with 2 cc's. give ur body time to relax after ur pregnancy. good luck! be patient!

Did you feel you needed a fill or did you just get one cause you thought you need to lose weight. If you think you need to lose weight you have to go easy on yourself you just had a baby. I would get an unfill and focus on eating fruit, vegies, dairy and animal Protein so you and your baby, if your still breast feeding, keep in good health. I have no kids but I remember hearing somewhere it takes a year for your body to go back to normal after a baby.

      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.
