I won't live my life on liquids for the sake of losing faster. THERE, I SAID IT! I get that out of the way because I know there could be people who might think I want to lose the unhealthy way. My fill today was aggressive.... So much so, that I couldn't tolerate water- By the time I realized I was indeed TOO TIGHT, and by the time I gained my "composure" enough to come out of the bathroom, I was in real bad shape. I went back in and had 1cc taken out. He unfilled me pretty quickly and I felt immediate relieve. It was kinda cool. After the unfill, I was able to take sips of Water (but was a little afraid) going home I decided to get some coffee because I read here how warm liquids help with irritation. Buuuut, it didn't go well. I've been feeling stuck ever since I had the first sip of coffee. HERE IS MY QUESTION: could it be that I'm irritated because of the situation before the unfill, or FOR SURE FOR SURE, am I too tight? I know you're not surgeons, but maybe there's someone who had to have an unfill after not tolerating water, felt sh*tty afterwards, and eventually settled without getting an unfill? I don't mind an unfill (if necessary) I just don't want to have to go to the ER to get it done at this hour.

Ps... PBing & sliming

Thanks in advance for your help!!

I am so happy that you are doing better!

Doing better and STILL focused even with an empty band. I lost two pounds on an empty band and I'm fast approaching wonderland. When I DO reach it, it will be a great accomplishment because I know some people start gaining right way. Thanks!!

Guys, I'm here to fess up. After nearly three and a half weeks of my ordeal, I've been doing really bad. I've gotten two fills since then but I'm eating when I'm not hungry & eating sliders & drinking juices. Someone needs to kick my ass. Everyday I wake up and say: today's the day (typical fat person "determination") but I know the "day" won't come until I get serious. Gggrrrrr

Girl! I know exactly how you feel. I have yet to get my first fill and my habits are starting to go backward. However keep the faith, you know this tool works when you put in the work. Look at some of your before pictures to remind you of how far you've come.

OH, NOOOO!!! I did what you suggested and looked at old pics... THE HORROR!! LoL. Lets get it together!!

From mid September to mid October I went through a rebellion that would even impress a teenager rebelling against curfew & gained almost 5 lbs during it!! However I'm here to tell you that you can stop the feeding crazy train, just take it one step at a time. Since then I have lost those gained pounds & 6 brand spanking new pounds! Reset your determination a portion of the day at a time. Don't wake up saying today I will do everything right & be perfect, take it one meal (and between meal time slot) at a time. I bet by the end of the day you will have a mostly good day. Good luck & keep us posted, we're all pulling for you

Thanks, Carol!! I'll tell you what I've done today. Early in the morning I went to BJ's and bought my BOOST Hight Protein shakes case so I can have those to fall back on (I've been buying Muscle Milk at the store and they are PRICY). Also, one of the things that REALLY helped me stay on track before was setting my alarm to 4 hours every time I ate. I wouldn't eat before that alarm went off, and it was pretty accurate because I would be getting hungry every 3 1/2 hours. I'll do two days of liquids starting tomorrow and that should straighten me out.

Ps..... No sliders today, only shakes and pure protein

Awesome!! Bet it feels terrific

Way to go catching yourself! And now setting yourself up for success with a case of protein shakes on hand. Way to go on the liquids and this reboot!

Thank you, all!!

Best of luck. My last fill made me pretty tight.Luckily not like this but the littlest thing made me slime. ugh I hate that feeling!
