Hate Getting Fills!



Recommended Posts

I just got a fill on Monday since January, now I have to learn all over what I can and cannot tolerate. I do have a good restriction but now I am back to discovering my foods. I find that after each fill, my food list changes. I definitely cannot do bread period..

Well I had to get an unfill yesturday, and I just lost 22 pounds in about 9 weeks, very strange, I should have to get a fill, not an unfill, has this ever happened to anyone out there? I became very tight after losing the weight, so I have a appt for an upper GI on Tuesday to see if anything is ging on in there with the band?

I am trying to hang in there. liquids can go down but not a lot and I am full fast. I don't even want to try eating anything. Like now, I don't know my full spot, I have to learn again since I am tighter.

I always have a learning curve after a fill. The good news is that once you reach your green zone, you won't need to get fills very often. I go about once per year for a little top-off.

My doctor told that I will not need another for 5 months. I am really trying to deal with this one. I am not sure if it is because that TOM will be here next week. I never gotten a fill before my monthly. It is either because it is too much saline or the TOM....

If you cannot get liquids down, call your doctor! Dehydration is nothing to mess with. If going down slow, sip, sip, sip. Get some gatorade and get as much liquid down as you can. Getting hydrated will help loosen the band as well.

I am getting liquids down. I just finding it hard now to know when I am full. I am getting down some tuna slowly but surely....

I can do rice but no pasta....I so miss spaghetti and shrimp alfredo. What I find that after each fill, my food tolerance changes. One thing that never changes is chicken. I love some chicken.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
