Un-fill Today



Recommended Posts

Hi All-Stars!

Well, called my surgeon's nurse this AM. She got me in this afternoon to see him. I could hardly get my hot tea down this AM so figured since I've been having a lot of problems the last couple of days and periodically over the last 2 1/2 weeks since getting sick, I'd better get in to see him.

He took out the .25cc he put in 3 weeks ago. I've lost 5lbs in those 3 weeks. I NEVER lose like that! Guess that's what happens when you're not eating or drinking much. I felt a lot better and was able to drink a 20oz bottle of Water in about 20 minutes after the un-fill.

He's mad at me. I "confessed" to eating Soup b/c it's all I could get down (and lunch yesterday, it didn't stay down) and not taking my Vitamins b/c they wouldn't stay down either. He's punishing me by refusing to see me for 4 weeks! LOL! "And I'd better NOT gain any weight. I'll be dieting!" LOL!

He cracked me up! I didn't tell him I've also been drinking Protein drinks and I eat soups/stews on a regular basis! (I figured I'd send him over the edge if I told him that! LOL!) I love making soups/stews and they're so good to eat and warm (I'm SO cold)! He thinks (once you're healed from surgery) that Soups and shakes are evil. Slider calories.

Hopefully, this illness, whatever it is, goes away soon. I should be okay now as far as getting stuck b/c of all the extra mucus (sorry!). I just have to worry about being able to keep things down.

I literally have had NOTHING to eat today. I'm waiting for DH to finish making dinner and we'll see how that goes. I'm actually hungry so I'm hoping it's a good sign!

A part of my feels like I went backwards today tho. Logically I know I needed that un-fill esp. with the problems I've had the last couple of days, but still.

I'll get back on track once I get better!

I was too tight and had to have 4mls taken out i was that swollen, and couldnt keep any thing down, i am now back down to 2mls in my band, and the surprising thing is, that i am over my plataeu and have started losing again, The post traumatic stress, i have over the too tight, has made me be super concious of my portions right now, so i cant complain, i feel great, and only have 7kgs to lose till i get to goal now. 15lbs.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
