so I had an unfill about a month ago, I was having heartburn, migraines, dizzy spells on a daily basis so I asked my doc for him to take out half of the fluid in my band so i went from 5 cc to 2.5cc. I stayed at 1200 calories this whole month never went over once, didnt drink any soda stayed away from junk food had more salad and chicken than ever before and guess what... I gained almost 10 pounds I go back on friday and I can only imagine what he is going to say to me.. But, How was i suppose to know that everything i was going to eat would make me gain weight. * le sigh* Even though not having heartburn and dizzy spells has been wonderful. I am so ready for another fill

I feel your pain. I had viral gastroenteritis in late March which caused tons of diarrhea. In April it was still lingering and I couldn't even keep water down. The nausea was worse than the diarrhea! I knew I was borderline too tight the whole time so April 10th, I asked him give me some relief. I'd already lost 16 lbs in 21 days (waaay too fast)!! He said that I would probably regain some weight and he certainly didn't lie! I gained 13 lbs practically over night. The only up side was that my "good curves" returned. I've dropped 7 of my 13 through good nutrition and exercise. On Monday, I'm praying for a super tight band when I leave the doctors office.

Can I lose 1 more pound between now and Monday??

luckily I have had to have half the fill removed twice and still lost 5lbs. I did cut down my cals to 800 and prayed I could hang on. 3 more weeks until a refill again....
