Bad news= bad day :(

Ok.. here is my update:

I went to see the doctor today, ready for another fill.. so of course I go thru the entire check in process, got weighed and all that good stuff.. I havent seen him since July so it has been about 2 1/2 months and I only lost 12 lbs since I last saw him.:mad: The nurse takes me to a room and then the doc comes inside to talk to me. He asked me how everything was and I told him the TRUTH. That I have basically been stuffing my face with anything and everything to the point where I throw up my food. He was very concern and told me that it needs to stop and only I can do that. So he wanted to take a look at my band and of course I drank that nasty drink they make us drink to see inside... and what did we discover????

MY SMALL POUCH STRETCHED OUT!!!! which is BAD BAD BAD!!! He told me that if I continue doing what Im doing it will get worse and I will have a slip and have to have surgery... so that really woke me up.. Im scared!! so now he advised that I need to be on a liquid diet for at least 2 wks and then start back on soft food again... Gosh I dont wanna live the rest of my life like this.. not being able to eat what I want..I know that this is whats best for me in the long run.. one thing that I feel better about is that I finally told the doctor the truth about what I have been doing and thats a load off my chest... so the hard part is.. will I be able to stay on this liquid diet for 2 wks??? that will be a challenge.. he did say that I can drink the shake twice a day and eat a small meal for dinner.. just as long as I dont over eat.. well I will keep ya'll updated soon..

I know it is hard but I am glad you "fessed up" from what I understand you were in what could have been a very dangerous situation. You are still not out of the woods yet. You have gone thru a surgery to change your life. You are worth this life style change. We all understand the daily struggles, desiring the foods we cant have etc. It is tough, Nothing tastes as good as skinny and healthy will feel, NOTHING. Do what the doctor tells you before you end up really ill and back in surgery. You obviously want to do the right thing or youwouldnt of told him, good luck and God bless.

I am actually suprised he didn't give you a small unfill. Goes to show you all surgeons are different. What is normal for the surgeons I see is a unfill and liquids.

Glad you are taking his warning seriously, a band slip is not fun. Hang in there and mix up your liquids so they don't get old. Before you know it the two weeks will have gone by.

Sorry to hear of your troubles, learning to adjust our eating and change our unhealthy habits is the hardest part of getting the band.
