  1. Hey all, I have read posts here before, obtained info, and been grateful for what I've read as I don't really have anyone to talk to about my journey. Brief history: lap band surgery mid 2010. Started at 210 lost A LOT of weight--- lowest weight 130 had a baby girl summer 2015 top preg weight 154. NOW, have gained some weight, and am now 160 I weigh more than i did when i gave birth I have a hard time losing weight now i feel hungry and can eat more from time to time, i puke bc it just doesn't sit well w me but for the most part, i can eat i feel so so so awful bc i feel like I'm going backwards. saw my surgeon today. he said that i need to go to radiology to see if a fill is a good idea, but i am already filled to a put 8CC in a 10CC band. I'm thinking dilated esophagus. He said I was a little/slightly when I tried to get a fill back in Oct. of 2017. i guess we will see in two weeks. NOW, w KETO and all this stuff going around, I want to know if anyone has fasted for extended periods of time. Like, for 16-18-20 hours at a time. I am DESPERATE. I want to be able to slim my esophagus so I can get a fill. Does fasting or just being on a strict liquid diet help my esophagus become 'normal' again? Does it really help w weight loss? I feel so discouraged. I want to look the way I looked at 130 lbs. I felt great, so much confidence, so much drive... please give me some advice. i appreciate your time. THANK YOU
