Has any one else had this experience?

So I went in talked to the PA we decided that, I did need an un-fill. So that was 9 days ago, I weighed this morning and I am up 8 lbs. so, granted I was eating pretty restricted, and now I'm able to eat more balanced and more of a healthy "bandster" diet. But 8 lbs........geeeez I'm already, ready for a fill. She took out 1.6 so that leaves me w/ 6.1. I'm battling hunger...I have been eating more, but not 8 lbs! I hope I level off soon. So much nicer when the scale is going down and not ^.

Whoo-hoo! Great Job, isn't it fun finally getting to post your 1year Bandanniversary?? You look so much better and healthier cheers!

Hope you can see:

How far out from surgery are you? I remember not long after surgery, it seemed like my hunger feeling returned in the form of nausausenous (sp). The feeling eventually went away.......

Thanks everyone!

My last fill was .2 in March & I've been fine......but Apparently my band is VERY receptive to stress & since I can't eat my feelings any more and have to feel them......I was thinking my quality of life might improve with a tinsy unfill. Did yours help u? Where you were use to being "tighter", then had an unfill were u still in the green zone? This is my first unfill, I'm nervous...thanks for responding!

Hello, I'm currently @ 7.7 in a 10 cc band. I've had restriction for a while now, I've been banded for 16 months. Now w/ the heat, stress @ work, and just getting over bronchitis.....I'm TIGHT. Ive been mildly uncomfortable for about a week and half. I'm not getting any better on my own and things are only getting worse at work. I wld say @ a sitting I can eat .5 to 1 ounce of meat and I can't eat any more. I know if I continue I'll be sick and that is my last resort. The scale is going down, but this is so unhealthy. Any suggestions as to how much much I shld have taken out....I was thinking .5 but I still want to leave the dr. Office in the green zone. My weight loss as of this am was 76.2. TIA Kelli

Me too! 16 months out.....I'm really having a hell of a time right now between the heat & stress @ work.....I'm really struggling, w/ eating solids. I was fine & in the green zone. Ready for my band to calm down

Whoo-hooo, Congrats!

I was banded March 16 2011. 115? That is amazing I'm @ 75.2 as of this morning. I hate that you are having trouble, are u stressed, heat, Tom, anything out of the norm got you in fits? My band is so moody/fickle and I don't always know before hand, she's in a mood again! Maybe just keep trying what your doing lots of soup, broth, fluid and maybe everything, will settle back down. Hope you get soe relief soon!

AMAZING!!!! You have done great. 5/16/12 was my 1 year.....so hard to embrace the "new you" great job

Great job! So exciting

Thanks so much! I think it was just a Combo of the heat, alcohol, and being outside swimming all day long. I did not drink water how I shdve, and I did have some drinks lessoned learned.

THe last couple of times, I've been swimming especially in inground pools my band gets extremely TIGHT. I can't eat anything solid right now I've been banded around 16 months. I've been losing fine & wld consider myself in the green zone. Anyone else have this experience? Tia Kelli
