Too tight fill again, here's the story...



Recommended Posts

Hi Karen,

Hope all is well todya. I had an unfill in yesterday. I went from 1cc to 2cc last Thursday and much like you - not good for me. YAcking everything even Jello and rice pudding. I had an unfill down to 1.5 cc and so far so good. My md's are real mushie hounds. So i never enjoyed mashed potatoes so much in my life.

How's Hanna, does she post???

I have no idea whay I am always the opposite of people:0( I am WIDE open during my monthly visit- I mean WIDE open for at least 2 to 2 1/2 days. It sucks- & I gain.

Glad your fill is better now- at least you can be happy being a tiny bit tighter than looser during that time with the right fill.

Hopefully in another month or two I will change & go the other way.

Karen,

So glad you have updated us.

After the -.3cc's was removed, you had to have more taken out? Yikes girl! Youve had a rough week.

So now you are totally unfilled?

hungry? ;)

Yup. THe liquids just weren't getting down, I wasn't starting to feel better except the pain being gone & I was worried about going over the long weekend. I pigged out yesterday, was "good" today & hope to get some fill back tomorrow if she'll let me; if not definately next Monday. And yes, I'm hungry. If I can't get back to her tomorrow, I think I'll just go on slimfast for a week!

Thanks, Paula.

Karen, sounds like you have had a tough time here. Isn't the band touchy? One day I'm wide open, the next I'm tighter than all get out.

I know it takes awhile for us to get this all figured out - but I'm just figuring out how it works in the summer and now winter will come and I"ll be back to square one.

Keep us updated and good luck. Celeste

BTW - what are you using when you eat tuna? I haven't been able to get tuna down and I'm really craving the herb and garlic tuna packets.

this is exactly what i am struggling with right now... i think i need a fill because i am starving all the time but i do have restriction at some point if that makes any sense... i am so afraid of being too tight but i am really having a hard time loosing!! i dont know what to do.. i have 2 cc which i got 3 months ago and i have lost about 15 pounds since then so i am assuming my band has loosened up... can .1 or .2 ccs make me that much tighter???

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
