reading everyone elses reason gave me encouragement

Hi guys, So I got an unfill Friday. She took out a full CC which put me back at 8cc's. I'm able to eat alot more than I expected. So I know I am going to have to kick up the exercise and be very careful about what I stick in my mouth. I celebrated my birthday this weekend so I did have some foods that were not good, but I am back on track. I am determined not to let these 20lbs come back.

Thank you Cubs Girl, I know I need an unfill, I have not felt like myself since my last fill and the rapid loss of weight. My energy has been nonexistent. I am just going to do like you said keep my portion sizes the same and I may need to add in between snacks too. Thanks for the advise. I'll let you guys know what happened when I come back from the hospital tomorrow.

Wow you look awesome Brandy!

Thank you Brandy, I guess I'm going to have to practice some serious will power. :sneaky:

Hello ladies, I talked to my nutritionist today and she wants me to come in on friday. So it looks like I'm going to get another unfill which scares me because I don't all the wieght I've just lost to come back and that usally happens when you lose it fast like I did. They also want to do some test on me, I'm guessing blood work, I will keep you guys updated. Any advise on how to keep my weight from ballooning back up??????

I hit ONERLAND this morning. I am very happy I chose the lapband!:confused:

Thank you the doctor said to give the swelling time to go away. So I'm goign to to be patient. the huge dropped just scared the crap out of me and everyone noticed it as to before it was more gradual. But I'm getting my liquids in.:confused:

Yes huge drop scared me so I was concerned. I tlalked to my nutritionist and nurse and they don't seemed to be worried. They just told me they same thing you said. So I'm goign stick with the liquids and soft foods for a few weeks. Thanks

Hello Ladies, I need some help here. I got my last fill friday and about 40 minutes later I got sick and had to right go back and get an unfill. I was at 8.5cc she put in 9cc and then took out like .25. So because I had swelling the first few days I could not eat or barley drink anything I have started to slowly get food in and keep it down, but since Friday I have lost 15 lbs and I am concerned that it is way too much. Should I get an unfill? I really don't want to I am startin gto eat more as the days passes. What should I do??????:thumbup::confused::crying::confused:

Five more pounds before I hit ONERLAND! Woot! Woot!:laugh::party::tt2:

Hello Everyone, I was banded April 18, 2008. I have lost over 60lbs so far. I haven't lost anything this past month though. I go for my last fill tomorrow. I guess after that it's is truly up to me to get the rest of this weight off. I still have 60lbs to go and I hope to be done by the end of summer. For those of you who only have like one more fill, are already fully filled or have already gone through this, are you still losing weight? What happens if you plateau and your band is already full? Any advise?

No one has any advise?????????????????
