Thanks Caramia!

We just got back and I had a complete unfill..the second she took a little out, she said she could hear my stomach allowing whatever was in my pouch in...(I was trying to drink Water right before =/ ) She said I was extremely swollen...she wasn't able to tell if I had someting stuck and blocking everything...Im on liquids for another 24 hours..

She wants me back next friday or saturday for a fill to see if I can handle it and how I'm doing...

Here's another question, I might post this as another thread...The last fill I had was only 0.6 cc...I had 2 cc's in it before...so...today, she took out 3.75cc???? How is that even possible? btw...my bands maximum is 4cc, no more...which I was thinking may be the possible reason it was so freakin tight....Have you guys ever heard of that? :blushing:

Timah so glad you are feeling better! Isn't it crazy how quickly we can feel relief? This band is so fickle! I hope you'll be back on your way in no time!!

I have never heard of more being in the band then was put it in. I've heard of less, but not more. Sounds very bizarre.

Just adding my two cents: I have always read that pineapple juice was the best for stuck food.< /p>

Did the band come primed, maybe? Otherwise, I have no clue. I am also extremely sensitive to fills. I was banded over a year ago and have only had 2 small fills and the last one was in November! I am just satisfied with the level of restriction I have and have no desire to be any tighter. Just take it slow when you start your fills again. Good luck and I hope your swelling goes down soon.:lol:

Thanks Caramia =)

Lana, I agree...the pineapple juice was one of the only sips of any liquid that "kinda" stayed down..plus it tastes good!

crzytchr..yeah Im not sure...I know that the day after my surgery he put in 2 cc's...and then my second fill was only .6 cc....unless one of the two doctors completely dropped the ball on the paperwork, which to me seems like the only logical explanation. Eh, who knows...Im not complaining now that im completely unfilled...starting fresh next week~

      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.
