Slight Unfill And Could Eat A Cow!



Recommended Posts

So I keep my band pretty band but lately I've been stressing alot and it got even tighter to the point where i couldnt keep Water down. So I got an unfill and now I could eat a cow! It seems like anything and everything can go down in the morning and during the day, but at dinner time it's harder. Prob because I eat so much during the day right?

I need more food choices too, im getting tired of the same old stuff. Any Breakfast and lunch ideas? Also, any tips to stop eating so much i really dont want to get filled because im kinda enjoying this now :P im bad, i know. But hey I lost 106 lbs i think i deserve alil something now.

I am so there with you. I like to keep mine on the tight side, but after I had surgery in August it became too tight. I could barely keep anything down. So I had a slight unfill and now I can eat anything and everything. It has been a real struggle at times to choose healthy food.< /p>

Secondly I understand I have an empty band right now and I'm in the second trimester of my pregnancy and it takes everything I have not to eat everything I see!!!! And literally I could because I have no restriction! Trying hard to stick to healthy but every few days I just gotta have somethin I shouldn't!!

I am having the same problem. I had 5.5 cc's and got 1.5 taken out and I can eat everything! Im going back to my surgeon on November 29th and hopefully i can get maybe .5 cc's inn. this really sucks. Have you girls ever felt like this surgery hasnt worked for you? I feel like that all the time.

The phrase " I deserve something" worries me. That is part of the type of thinking that led to us being so overweight.

I've had a hard day at work.............I deserve something

I'm tired............I deserve something

I've lost xlbs.......... I deserve something.

We need to stop treating food as a reward and treat it as fuel. But we should also be able to eat a variety of foods healthy and not so healthy. We should not have our bands so tight that we cannot eat as that inevitably leads to future problems.Instead of good and bad foods we should look on them as all the time foods and sometimes foods.

Yes possibly you could eat a cow now but you will probably find that if you make good choices and allow your band to work the way it is supposed to then you will not be as hungry as you fear.

Rewarding yourself isn't bad. Im not going to allow myself to not eat anything bad because I shouldnt reward myself. You just have to plan for it. It doesnt even have to be with food. I def reward myself in many ways and i think that's a good thing. Im not saying to eat mcdonalds or pizza for every meal but once in a while it's okay. We are human and can eat it. Why deprive ourselves?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
