if you stay on this site just try to ignore some of the comments that are not so supportive. Some people don't even realize how condescending they are.

And others believe they can read between the lines? Apparently you believe you have psychic powers? Please point out one statement from anyone that's not supportive in this thread other than the cheap shot you took??

Ok it's all out. He had filled me 3cc during surgery and now I'm completely deflated.

He said this happens in 5% of surgeries and that I will prob be one of those people that don't need too many fills.

Having the needle poke me in fresh stitches was awful.

I'm so devastated this s starting out this way.

Hey dont stress it!! Just stick with the Clear Liquids and make sure to sip. You got this!

In a few weeks you will look back on this and go, well I learned from that lesson and you will go forward!

You have done the hardest part already!

**HUGS**

Keep the faith. You can do this. Everyone is different. You may be able to lose without fills. Many people have lost over 100 pounds with no fills. Just continue to follow the instructions as you have been and allow the body to heal. I hope the unfill helped you feel better. Best wishes' date=' and please bring your questions here. But... be aware, we may tell you to ask your doctor because most of us have no medical training, just experience with what works for us. I hope you are feeling better soon![/quote']

Thanks Cheznoel, your words are comforting. I'm a little disappointed that I have had all the Fluid removed (because I thought it was a good "head start") but the way I was feeling was unbearable. I couldn't breath!

You say people have lost without fills? How is that possible?

I would go back to clear liquids' date=' Water, broth, juice, popcicles..if it persists call ur Dr, stay strong it gets better, u will be fine, relax.and heal![/quote']

Yes you are right. Water today and clear liquids after that.

I think it was the yogurt drink that did me in.

Thanks for your support and words of encouragement.

It's very possible. I'm one of those people with no fills and am down 65 lbs. in 5 1/2 months. I don't know why this is when most people have to get fills but if this bump in the road you just suffered means that you may not need fills.. then all the better. Good luck!

She didn't take a cheap shot. You WERE condescending. I was suffering,

vulnerable, and in pain and all you thought was that I had somehow cheated and that I should "listen to your doctor!!"

Anyway that's for your advice. I'm fine now. Just sad.

I know. I've seen so many people complain about him. Even people that have pm'd me.

Thanks for your support.

You will find sugar coated coddling here and you'll also find frank and honest responses. Take the ones you want and leave the rest. No need to attack other forum members.

No one attacked you but just making a point that your way/technique is too harsh.

...especially when people are so vulnerable.

There is a difference between "honest replies" and kicking someone when they are already down. We all know that we need to "follow doctors orders" so we don't need someone yelling it at us or making assumptions.

Maybe tone down your exclamation marks.

The band alone is some restriction, plus your tummy is swollen from surgery. If you follow the guidelines, most will lose weight with the liquid diet post-op. If not, it is likely your surgeon will replace some or all of the fill at you checkup appointment.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
