After a small unfill I can eat anything...HELP!

gingersnap · 10-10-2007, 11:14 PM

My first fill was 1cc and I spent the last month struggling to keep food down. The only time I was able to eat was late at night, if I was lucky. I finally gave up and asked for a 1/2cc unfill on Monday. Now I feel like I have no restriction at all and can eat anything I want.

I'm not sure what to do? Has anyone else had this problem? My weight loss has been slow so far and I'm so afraid of gaining anything back. I'm even thinking of going back on a low carb diet or back to weight watchers. :help:

Sorry...but I'm missing something here. You've lost 30 lbs. in less than 3 months and you think you're loosing slow? You're off the charts in my book! I'm happy with 1 lb. a week! I've lost 35 since being banded on Feb. 14th. Only have 20 more to go, but I'm feeling pretty good about the pace. I just had my 10th fill, and am barely arriving at 2/3 cup of solid food per meal. Can't quite eat that much now. I was told a Lean Cusine was still too much (1 1/4 c. on average)...so I'm still getting there. Found that not being able to eat anything...only lasts for a while, then things change. Like a rollercoaster for me, but I'm a happy camper with 35 lbs.! Hang in there...

Fills are funny. Sometimes .1cc makes a difference. I would go back in and see if .2 or .3 heps you. Good luck.
