WOW...that's tight!

Ok so last Thursday I went back to the doctor and got a 1/2cc fill which put me at 6 1/5 cc's total.....WOW, can you say tight!!! I can't hardly eat anything now and am throwing up a lot. I guess I am just going to have to live off of mostly liquids for a while. It takes me forever just to drink a protein shake now. Not to mention that I can't even chug my water. But I am going to live with it for now...although it's very frustrating at times because I would like to be able to eat some solid foods. I told my husband that I was definitely going to miss eating hamburgers on the grill this summer and I definitely miss eating a good ol'e Steak...sometimes I wish I didn't have the band because I miss so many foods, but then I realize that those foods are the reason I am banded. If I had had any self control in the first place then maybe I wouldn't be in this situation right now. Don't get me wrong...I am thankful for my band and am happy about the 38 lbs that I've lost so far...but no one ever said that this was going to be easy. Take care my fellow bandsters...I will check in with you all later. God Bless and Good luck to you all.

    be careful that it isn't too tight! I know that a 1/2cc doesn't sound like much but it did me in once. I had a 1/4 taken out and what a relief if was. I wasn't able to get enough protein or fluids in. The puking was causing swelling making everything worse. I am not saying that is happening to you..but it did to me. It didn't take to long either..maybe 10 days or so if that. Take care.

    I went up to 6.4 cc tried it for almost a month then had some removed. Everything was uncomfortable, sliming, pbing, and I refused to live on just mushies, so i went down to 6.1 doesn't seem like a lot but it made a world of difference. my stomach always felt like it was punched!! I know we all want to lose the weight and fast, but don't run the risk of damaging/ streaching you pouch!!

    Make sure you can take in your caliries , protein and water. I want to loose the weight but i would not be happy if i cant even drink water peacefully.
