It's been an interesting and challenging couple of weeks..

and it's really gotten the best of me. I had a fill almost 2 weeks ago, which I needed. This was my 8th fill, I think? My doc decided to be a little more aggressive than usual due to my low weight loss and gave me another full cc.
It's been very frustrating because of the major fluctuations with the amount of restriction I have, day to day - hour to hour it is an "unknown"! This is very hard because I NEVER know what to expect when I eat or what I can eat...I do not enjoy eating at all any more. I can eat something one day and it goes well so I try the same thing the next day and... it's a no go! What gives? I truly question my decision to have lap band surgery.
I do hope it gets better and my body is just getting used to this last fill.
Any words of wisdom?

Wendy.........I've noticed that if I don't drink a lot during the day, it's harder for me to get things down.  Make sure you're getting your fluids. Are you eating quick and chewing a lot?  I can't wait for my fill in Oct......my next day off, ugh!  Untill then........sigh. Hang in there kiddo!

Nancy - Could be not enough fluids, some days I'm really good and other days just get away from me. I will be sure to get my fluids in and see if this could be the culprit.*fingers crossed*
Why is this band just so darn tricky? arg!
Thanks for the reply... You hang in there till your next fill!

hey
first of all ((((HUGS))))
im so you are frustrated and going thru all of this.
im going thru something similiar. although i am losing weight, i can eat whatever i want. no limitations and that scares me. i can chug massive amounts of water down and dont feel a thing. i do get a full feeling if i eat certain foods but what about others?
i guess we both have frustrations at different levels.
i wish you the best
thankfully im going in for my first fill tomorrow,.

:)

Melissa - I am losing weight now...for sure. Hang in there with your band, as you can see the experience is very different for eveyone.

Good luck with your fill...let us know how it goes!

Shelli - I'm working on getting my fluids in and hopefully this will help. I'm also dealing with a sinus infection so maybe thats playing into things too? Who knows?
I'm going to try staying with softer "mushies" for a bit now also. I'll figure this darn thing out one way or another! LOL

Thanks for the suport! Hope your doing better also...
