I went thru same thing two weeks ago. Couldn't even get Water down for 3 days. Went to dr that Monday and had lost 7lbs. Gained 4 back quick but think water weight and eating again. I want to know... If I had some removed... Will I be too full if they add removed amount back two weeks later?

You were always handsome, now ur a hottie!!! Enjoy ur new body. U deserve it

Thanks! Great advice. Lost 7lbs over weekend from not keeping anything down. I had unfil yesterday but having hard time eating. I will try that.

I hope you are okay. Did you have to get an unfill? I had 1.5cc removed today and an Upper GI to make sure my band was okay.

Thank you, yes I'm much better. After 3 days with no food... And little Water I went for 1cc unfill. I lost 7lbs from Friday till Monday. Wish to keep that off. Have only had liquids and no appetite but feeling better. Maybe this will be enough cause my last two fills did nothing but 3rd put me over the line

Down to 229!

Hi I'm learning about fills myself. I had surgery 6/3. I had two fills and felt nothing. Went for my 3rd fill Friday and Friday I threw up foamy spit all day and couldn't get Water down. Ate nothing all weekend and can barely drink a sip, going for infill today. I think I lost 5lbs since Friday but I feel like crap. Just want a hAppy medium. Next time I won't push my dr to add more! Dr knows best.

What do you do if you have fill on Friday and can't get Water down? Will I be ok if I wait till Monday?

You are inspiring and you look awesome. I bet you feel great. You deserve it!

Don't pull them off, you could rip the incision.

My dr told me to eat cuz it's back to liquid after fill

I'm right there with you! Dang this is hard!! I'm thinking what the heck did i do..<img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

It's hard but we have to give it time. We can do this

I know how you feel. I cheated and I was fine but I regret it. The pre op and first couple weeks after you can lose the most and then it may slow. Try to get the most out of this. You will be very happy in a few weeks with weight loss. Plus it doesn't get easier mentally so need to prepare. You will eat again. Be strong girl, I tried, ate one day, felt bad and got back to it

My surgeon had me schedule my first fill for three weeks to the day after my surgery' date=' which will be tomorrow. I honestly don't need it, I'm hardly ever hungry as it is - struggling to get in 700 cals a day (I should have 1,200 - ugh, I don't see that happening) so I don't know how this is going to go.[/quote']

That's exactly how I felt. Week 4 got my 1st fill and all swelling was down finally so I've been hungry! Went back 2 weeks later, still hungry. Scheduled to go back in two weeks. I miss the full feeling first 3 weeks

Anxiety. I understand how you feel and wonder if I am going thru the same. I work from home so I only leave to take my son to and from daycare and go to gym. Plus I think we're anxious being faced with temptation at parties. Remember others don't know how you feel or what ur thinking so "fake it till you make it" and so don't be afraid to ask ur dr for something. Good luck.

I wanted it so I had some , not going to beat myself up over it , it is what it is <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> peace my fellow banders[/quote']

Me too and it was great. It's been a while. I'm a cheap date now lol

I went for my 1at fill two weeks ago and was starved and gained a lb but went to dr today for another fill. This one seems to b working better. I was told to stay on liquid till sun... Then soft food and so on. I'm soooo afraid to feel sick so I will stick to it.

I think it's only a problem if u drive while on pain meds. I didn't want to drive day of or day after but had to drive on day 3

Wow you look like you lost weigh more then 38lbs. You look fab... Without anymore weight loss... You have done it!

Being hungry all the time lol If you are getting hungry less than every 4 hours like lisamase said then you most likely need one. I am in need bad my first one scheduled for the 17th

I'm in need too. Had one... And I'm always hungry. Gained back a few lbs already. Need motivation!

Hello' date=' I'm confused how much broth, pops, Jello should I consume in the days after surgery? I've read many source that recommend no more than 3oz and aim for 64 oz but is that 64 oz of broth & water/ice. How many jellos? Going nuts already but excited.[/quote']

Well I can tell you a whole can is to much. I drank a whole can out of cup 1st week and wanted to die!

Hi... I'm a big baby with pain but it is bearable.... Just very uncomfortable for a few days but you should move around daily... Sooner u get gas out... Sooner u will feel better. Good luck everyone! You will want to relax but force ur selves to move a little each day!

The dr office gives you a few questions. Be honest if ur hungry. If ur staying full for over 4 hrs, u might not
