In need of advice, ASAP

I have not been here for a long time, although a few weeks ago I did comment on someone's post.  This is my dilemma.  By last summer I had lost a total of 74 lbs.  I was feeling so good.  Then, sometimes after the Holidays I started getting this awful pain everytime I tried to eat or drink, even water.  I have changed doctors, not because I did not like mine, but because this nrw doctor is about 10 minutes from me and my original one took me an hoir and a half of driving to get there.  Anyways, my doctor scheduled an upper GI where I had to taker some chalky liquid ( I forgot the name) and he said that my esophagus was irritated so he took away 2 ccs, mind that all I had was 5 ccs in my band.  Since then, I have been eating huge portions of food and it does not seem as I am always satisfied.  If I feel satisfied, about half an hour later, I finished my leftovers.  I told this to my doctor, but he does not want to add anymore liquid.  He just scheduled me to another upeer GI.  So, I wonder what can be done if my esophagus is still irritated and he refusesto add more liquid, what can be done to fix this problem because If I would have the disiplined to stop eating I wouldn't had to have this surgery done.  So, I need my fill again or I am not sure what else can be done. I have gone from 182 to 200 lbs again and I am so depressed, that all I did today was sleep.  If someone has any advice, please let me know.  I dont want  to gain anymore weight and I need to loose those 18 pounds .  I cannot and I will not buy new clothes.  I got rid of all my 2X clothes and I have a new wardrobe on size 14-16 clothes, which some are feeling tight right now.  Gosh, I am so frustrated!  ANy advice? Thanks!  Oh, another thing, if anyone knows of a website where I can get suggestions of what and how much to eat daily (including breakfast, lunch, dinner) will you share?  It seems I have lost the notion of what to eat.   I have considered joining Jenny Craig , Weigh****chers or Nutrisytem.  ANy sggestion about these plans?  Thanks!
 

You do not want to rush the healing of your esophagus. When our bands are a little too tight we can get heart burn and even damage our esophagus. What did your Dr say the results of your UGI were? I would google what ever he said and research all you can. Jean M has had to get a revision because her esophagus was damaged so badly. He may be having you have another UGI to see if it is worse or healing.
All I can say about worrying about the weight gain is, stick in there. You will have to dig deep and try and remember what you did right after being banding. 4 oz or 1/2 cup or whatever your Dr recommended, per meal, protein first. It is hard, I truly understand and I think joining some sort of help group would be helpful, when you worry it seems to just get worse (for me anyway) Make sure and exercise. I hope it gets better soon and you can get the A OK about your esophagus and get some fill, back. Good luck.

Not what you're asking but...........we are having a WLS get together next Sat. night in Atl. There will be several bandsters there. Let me know if you want details.

 Dear lateacher1,
I had a prob in Nov they took out 2.75. Scary but i tracked everything i put in my mo and measured. I was hungry but refused to snack too much. They made me wait 10 weeks and 2 ugi to give me another fill.
Wait it out you need to heal.
Good Luck
