Full? or Fill?

[lucie159 89]

I went in for a fill today. My last fill was in December, which had me at 8 cc's in my 14 cc band. I struggled through until this month... where I would gain... lose, gain, lose. And had pretty much just lost my way. I don't know what it is about doing the things that you know your supposed to be doing, that just seem to conveniently slip our minds, but I stopped and looked at the situation and realized that I had quit doing all the things the Dr. told me that would ensure good weight loss. Such as... take my vitamins... get my Protein, portion my food... and chew, chew, chew. And then I found myself strictly eating Soups and slider foods because I would bring back everything solid that I ate. Taking the easy way out. And then be discouraged and frankly outraged that I hadn't lost any weight, cause geesh all I ever eat is soooooouuuuup!!!! ha. Then your mind starts thinking there must be something wrong, Maybe you slipped your band, cause your bringing up everything you eat, But that's not the case. They did an xray of my band and its fine... but the liquid was shooting through it like greased lightening!! so... they gave me a .6 cc fill and I can feel the difference of course since its the first day, but I am hoping that this will help me get back on track. I waited and cried and fought to get some help for 20 years.. it would be sad if I did all that just to let the fat defeat me in the end. SO.. wish me luck, and any suggestions are appreciated. I really need to finally get below that 300 lbs mark!!!

Sorry to hear about your frustration and difficulties. It sounds like you are actually hungry if you feel compelled to eat Soup to get around the band. If you are hungry, then hopefully the fill will help with that.

Really hope it works out for you. That is rough.

I was very hungry. Week number four. I too thought it was slow. So I had it filled with 3.6. Still Hungary. Go to dr in a month probable fave more fill.

It seems that if all you can eat is Soup you may be too tight already. Have you considered an unfill and getting more calories from solid foods?h
