hey there My doctor said to give it a little more time,, he prescribed to me phentermine to help with the craving to eat to much food while trying to keep to liquids,, I am supposedto go back next week to check in,, I am sorry you havent had much help I didnt either and most people that I have asked on here did not give me any slack and made me feel worthless,, not all the people! but my doctor does not seemed to worried about it he said we will try liquids first then if didnt work then we would let my pouch relax for awhile and start the process over again , I will just have to make sure I keep to my eating habits. I will update you to see how it goes.

I just got back from the Fill office, it has been 8 months since my last fill,, they said I should not take this long. So how long is to long for you fillers out there that has had the Band longer than a year. They said I stretched my stomach a little and if I didnt feel restrictions with this fill that they will need to let the band solution to relax my stomach, and it is bad to stretch the stomach out because it gets easier to stretch long term because our stomach is a memory muscle! THey suggested to be on liquids only for a month to try reverse the stretch. Has any one been in this situation and what was the outcome, what do I need to look out for now, what world have I enterd and how do I handle it now and long term. What do I need to watch out for now and long term since I am in trouble with a stomach that has been stretched and it is going to stretch from here on out. Can I ever get back to the good stomach pouch I had before. What HAve I DONE,, I am so scared!! And also My Dr. said some people cant drink soda due to the thow up factor,, but I dont and I do drink no caffine soda ,,, so how bad has that been,,, I need councilling please help , give me ideas. Oh and a Proien shake ,, I decided to put fruit and fat and sugar free yougurt in with the protien powder is that advisable at this point, Dr. said they want eveything to go straight threw the hole for a month. Can I eat soup with solids in it if I chew it into a liquid or is that to much solid at this point too?

Hi yall, I have been reading your blogs and amazed how I am not the only one. I just got off the phone with Dr. they have put me on a liquid diet and phentermine for a month to help get my miner expnded pouch back to normal. I hope I can stick with a liquid diet for a month if not they will have to take the majority of the fluid out of my pouch. We might think that I have been eating to much food that will go thru the band because i have it so tight,, that is what happens when you have it to tight and then it the pouch starts to stretch. So plan is liquid diet for month then take a little out to get back to being able to eat hard protein to stay and fill me up for a hour in my pouch. I hope this works have any of yll been through this and what was the result.

well I just got the phone with the Dr. they said my stretched pouch is miner and that I do have to stick with a liquid diet for this month. Also they said that no matter what I est whether it be soup or not(i love soups) I still have to keep it at 3/4 cup. I thought since it was healthy and it was going threw I would be fine that it would not stretch. But they clarified that my tummy should be egg size and anything going in to fill it up then I keep it full the whole time i am eating soup it will stetch it. And any protien any way is not a good eating habbit,,, they want solid, hard proteins like steak or pork chop it that first if I am still hungry I need a fill if not then I am still good. I think I can get threw this and learn from my mistake. I can reverse a expanded POuch!

Oh and I have had my band for 1 year and 8 months,, i need to learn some new tricks when I have screwed up. PLease Help
