Searching for unfilled bandsters...

What are you doing? How are you doing? Plans to get re-filled.

I was unfilled a week ago and am enjoying it but wonder if I can be "good" and still lose weight. So far, so good, but it has only been one week. I actually am enjoying eating healthy bulk food again.

HI, I have been unfilled since March. I have managed to lose a few pounds. It helps that for some reason I have some restriction. I think I could have lost more but I didn't really exercise.I was unfilled following a too tight fill and some gallbladder problems. The gallbladder was removed. I am getting a fill this week after getting my, newly developed reflux problem, under control. Good luck and remember the things that you learned while filled.

I was unfilled for nearly 4 months and regained 30 pounds! My first fill 6 weeks ago allowed me to maintain, but I just got my 2nd fill today which I hope will get me back to losing. I don't mean to scare you - just to alert you that once you can eat large quantities it is very easy to slip back into old habits (or it was for me). I found that slowly I reintroduced breads, pastas, and then eventually junk food. All of those carbs made me crave more carbs -- so just be wary that all of your efforts can backslide if you let it get out of control like I did. I really regret how I let myself go on a band vacation and took advantage of the situation. If you hold true to your healthy habits you should be fine! Good luck!

I've been unfilled since March, too. For a couple of months I didn't even notice a difference, but now I'm aware of hunger kicking in between meals and an ability to eat more. I'm hoping to get a tiny fill in August if my insurance works out, but even in the meantime I'm aware that I have to work on eating more slowly. That's my biggest demon.

But I hear you about enjoying the greater bulk! I've been loving the summer fruits I can eat with abandon. Nothing beats a ripe, juicy peach!! :(
