Third Fill - tight



Recommended Posts

You guys are SO LUCKY and I'm getting jealous!! I've had 2 fills and barely have any restriction at all. I can eat ANYTHING as long as I chew it well, and I'm hungry all the time.

I'm going for a 3rd fill on August 16th and I sure as HECK hope my PA gets fill happy!!!!! I would LOVE to be as tight as you guys are...

Good luck!

Be careful what you wish for....I had my third fill last friday and I think he put in too much and now I think I am too tight I can hardly keep anything down a couple bite and it is stuck I have been living on water/shake/soup for a week now. I tried to eat a boiled egg this morning and it was hell...I am going to give it a few more days and then go in for a unfill...it is not a pleasent feeling to be so tight everything hurts your chest,stomach and the huge lump in your stoma, the acid reflux. I would rather stick with the small fill untill I hit my sweet spot instead of being too tight from over fill

Started this thread when I had my third fill on 7th July and it was really tight - so now 5 weeks later and I think I am wanting a further fill - have lost a further 4/5 lbs [it fluctuates from day to day!!] but I am now starting to be able to eat anything again. bread is no problem at all.

I have just had the worst flu, throat, chest and eye infection for the past 10 days so am waiting to recover from that first - not really felt much like eating anyway so have been having Soups and Protein smoothies. So what I just wanting to say was - yes we feel really tight when they give us a good fill but it does wear off after a few weeks so my advice is to stick with it - stick with the smoothies, Protein Shakes, soups and mushies and eat very, very, very slowly. Even though I can just about eat whatever I want again I have to eat it very slowly - a big first bit and I am PBing with a vengeance

Ok, explain something to me..... I just got another fill on August 2nd and I have been doing ok, for the most part....BUT how do you know when you are at your "sweet spot?" Do you continue to lose weight at that point, or do you just stay netural? I've had my band since Nov. 2004, but for about 1 1/2yrs I only had 2cc's in a 4cc band,(which did me NO good at all) and now I just got a fill to 3.25cc, which seems a lot tighter and more restricted. (found a dr. a lot closer to where I live) anyway, will I feel this restriction for the rest of my life at this fill? I have lost 10lbs in two weeks, which is wonderful, but I need to lose another 40lbs. I haven't PB or got anything stuck yet, which seems to be a good thing, but I do seem to eat dinner with a lot less restriction than with Breakfast and lunch. I'm really hungry at dinner and seem to have a "hole in the bucket" and eat way more.:hungry: Why is this? Is this normal? Anyone else feel like me? Any suggestion and or help:help: would be more than appreciated.....

Thanks

Janine

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
