Too tight fill again, here's the story...



Recommended Posts

Hi Karen,

Hope all is well todya. I had an unfill in yesterday. I went from 1cc to 2cc last Thursday and much like you - not good for me. YAcking everything even Jello and rice pudding. I had an unfill down to 1.5 cc and so far so good. My md's are real mushie hounds. So i never enjoyed mashed potatoes so much in my life.

How's Hanna, does she post???

I have no idea whay I am always the opposite of people:0( I am WIDE open during my monthly visit- I mean WIDE open for at least 2 to 2 1/2 days. It sucks- & I gain.

Glad your fill is better now- at least you can be happy being a tiny bit tighter than looser during that time with the right fill.

Hopefully in another month or two I will change & go the other way.

Karen,

So glad you have updated us.

After the -.3cc's was removed, you had to have more taken out? Yikes girl! Youve had a rough week.

So now you are totally unfilled?

hungry? ;)

Yup. THe liquids just weren't getting down, I wasn't starting to feel better except the pain being gone & I was worried about going over the long weekend. I pigged out yesterday, was "good" today & hope to get some fill back tomorrow if she'll let me; if not definately next Monday. And yes, I'm hungry. If I can't get back to her tomorrow, I think I'll just go on slimfast for a week!

Thanks, Paula.

Karen, sounds like you have had a tough time here. Isn't the band touchy? One day I'm wide open, the next I'm tighter than all get out.

I know it takes awhile for us to get this all figured out - but I'm just figuring out how it works in the summer and now winter will come and I"ll be back to square one.

Keep us updated and good luck. Celeste

BTW - what are you using when you eat tuna? I haven't been able to get tuna down and I'm really craving the herb and garlic tuna packets.

this is exactly what i am struggling with right now... i think i need a fill because i am starving all the time but i do have restriction at some point if that makes any sense... i am so afraid of being too tight but i am really having a hard time loosing!! i dont know what to do.. i have 2 cc which i got 3 months ago and i have lost about 15 pounds since then so i am assuming my band has loosened up... can .1 or .2 ccs make me that much tighter???

      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.
