On the 29th I got a fil which now I have 5cc, today is the 3rd and I haven't been able to get in solid foods, is this okay? I've never felt it like this and I've had the band for almost 2yrs.

Thanks Sue. You are right. I'm going to make some major changes with my eating. I have to get my protein in in ways besides just the powder. So sad that I didn't realized that. My man has been saying the same thing.

That's great! I would never test my band based on sliders. It will really help you in the long run to make it work eating real food as you will need to deal with this the rest of your life. Let me know how you do with the changes. You can do it and you will enjoy your food so much more!

Good decision, as I posted earlier I had the same problem. I had 1cc taken out now I'm at 4.5cc and still tight but may be the perfect spot we'll see. mushy and liquid flow fine, solids as long as I chew chew chew I'm ok for the most part..

I'm doing really good. I'm kinda nervous about messing with starches. I went out with a friend and decided to taste some bread. Before I let too much time pass, I spit out the bread. I really don't know what that moment was about, but I got over it fast. I am not going to allow the fluid to come out just to do something foolish.

Misty, go ak for a slight unfill. You should not live with only drinking liquids. I don't knw if you have followed anu=yones suggeestions yet, but if not you are 10 days of liquids. See your surgeon on MOday. Best wishes, Karen

I may be of a differing opinion but sometimes by day 3 or 4 you may still be able to only do liquids after a fill. My last fill was probably my most difficult, it took me a week before I was able to resume normal eating. I had no vomiting or reflux it was just difficult to get 3 ozs of solid protein down within the 20 minute period. If you can not pass liguids and you are having reflux than yes you probably need an unfill. But some people are more sensative to the fills and the swelling and irritation can last a little longer than 3 days.

I was almost in 3 wks of my issue and it continued to get worse. I'm so glad I'm unfilled.

Im having similiar issues. Calling Dr. for a unfill tomorrow morning. I am keeping small amounts of solids and liqueds down, but have pain whenever I swallow, massive reflux and heartburn. I was supposed to have 10cc's in my band but they said 4cc's disappeared somewhere along the way. She put 2 1/2 in last Tuesday and couldnt keep water down so she took 1/2 cc out. Now I think I need another 1/2 out. It is very frustrating.

I am sitting in my drs now waiting for an unfill. I cannot wait. I don't understand what happened to me. Had a fill 2 weeks ago & had a dream week then BAM can't keep anything in comfortably.

I am so sorry to hear about that. I know ut will get better. Glad you are getting some removed. I know I just couldn't take it anymore. The bad part was that I wasn't even loosing. I had begun to gain :-(

sgoults been 8 days and I still can't keep anything down, but a smoothie. I've lost 8lbs im not mad about nor am miserable, but think I should be eatting something..

I was on liquids for 2 weeks post up but you may want to check with your dr to see what he wants you eating

I have had 5 fills and now sit at 9.8 cc. Finally have restriction but I cant take anymore fills. I am maxed out. I had surgery June 5th and only down 15 lbs. total since preop. I have been so frustrated and think I have put my body thru this for no reason. I am now down for major back surgery Dec. 18th and have been instructed to NOT exercise due to level of my injury. So frustrated but atleast I have restriction

I'm sorry that you've had so many problems. It will get better. You have to really focus on your eating. Do you have my fitness pal as a app on your phone?
