To fill or not too fill

 Hi, I never thought I would be one to ask this question being that it gets asked probably every few days. But that's my basic question, do you think a fill would help???? I will give you lots of backgound so you know my concerns. I am basically 2 years out and lost around 130, plus or minus some here and there. I recently completed plastic surgery and look and feel great. BUT I am struggling to keep my weight loss. It started creeping back on when I went on vacation for a week, and I keep making really bad choices when it comes to eating. Luckily I do like to work out, but I was 160 going into PS and now am 173 (plus I probably should weigh less since he removed tons of skin and fat) Okay, I have a 10cc band filled I 6cc. I have lots of restriction in the morning. I have to really watch it and go slow in the morning. But afternoon and evenings I can eat anything. Pasta, bread, meat, really I the only thing I stay away from that disagree is French fries. If I eat starchy items I just eat low and it's fine. I can alo eat full size meals. I lost all my weight basically by dieting, I'm sure the band helped but it was more willpower. But I am struggling to get the willpowerer back. A question for you: if I got a fill would I have even MORE restriction in the mornings too? I really want more restriction in the afternoon and evenings but I wonder if it will make me too tight in the mornings? (btw I'm okay drinking green smoothies for breakfast if I need too) Heres a little side note as for the cons-my drs office is almost 3 hours away. AND I went to 1800getthin people and have since realized they are scamming my insurance. I was trying to not go back to them because I don't agree with there practices. But, I am thinking I might need boost with my band. Ps I ave gotten stuck in the past, but it's usually once in a blue moon.thanks in advance

I will start out by saying that I a stool new, but...

If you are already tight in the morning, I would not jeopardize making that worse. I would go back to the basics, log, measure your food and exercise so that you hold yourself accountable and really see and know what you are doing.

I could essentially eat anything I want too, but am sticking to the rules for me and the betterment of my life.

You can do. Do you need to go back to a support group or see a NUT for more advice, support or motivation?

I am sure there are many others here that can offer you advice too.

Also, with the distance you have to travel for a fill, I would be worried about being too tight with another fill based on what you said.

Yes, it will make you tighter in the am too.  I was where you are and added more.  I didn't lose just made worst choices.  I had 6.25 and just had 1cc taken OUT.  I am able to make better food choices and started to lose a little.

With what is going on you need to do as PP said, journal and make better food choices.

 Thanks, you guys are right. I was secretly hoping I would get a couple responses saying I should get a fill. I was hoping the restriction I have in the morning would stay the same, but wanted to tighten up a bit for the rest of the day. Wishful thinking I guess. I'm just going to have to go back to basics and if takes forever to get back to goal, oh well as long as I get there. 

Sorry, this is the worst part of the band for me.  It reinforces my bad habit of not eating in am and over eating in the pm.  I now CAN"T eat in the am.  I can eat some in the afternoon.  I'm wide open in the evening when I always over ate.  Now I am starving in the pm from not eating all day.  It still takes major will power to stay away from bad food.

 This is exactly my problem too!  I have no problem early in the day, simply because I don't feel hungry and even if I am, I can't get much of anything down, but then I make up for it in the evenings.  I was thinking of getting a fill as well but I'm afraid it'll be too tight, especially during my period and in the mornings.  But I really feel like I need some help!  This isn't working for me.  I'm doing weigh****chers and keep going up and down.  I'm so tempted to get a slight fill and just drink protein drinks in the morning until I get some of what I've gained back off! 

Anybody have any suggestions? 

 You might actually need an unfill....

I think  the fill question is the hardest part of this wlp.  A friend once said, starve to lose and diet to maintain.  And I think she's right.  The evenings are the hardest time for me too.  I am going to start walking in the evening just to get me out of the house and away from the fridge.  I agree with the other post, write it all down, journal with how you are feeling and see how it goes first before the fill.  I actually did protein drinks for 1 full day and it helped me get back on track.

What Stephanie said.

I kept adding with the doc's blessing thinking I just need a "little" fill.  I ended up with issues and a      total unfill.

Than started over agian.  I was at 6.25 in a 10 and just goat an UNFILL to 5.25.  Now I can eat more but I can eat better.  Dense protien and salad and DRINK water like a normal person.

Update, I got a fill. Here's what happened. I was prepared for just getting back on track. I ate everything I could think of last night, just to get it out of my system. I was prepared to got to the gym, eat a healthy breakfast and go to work which would have all been overtime hours. It ended that they didn't need me at work:( It changed my mood, I was looking forward to a big paycheck. So I blame my mood for making me not go to the gym, instead got a large Carmel freeze coffee and lemon cake for breakfast. I then got frustrated with myself an doubting that I can do it. So I called the office and made a appointment. It was a 3 hour drive. When I got their I told the Dr I was tight in the am but no restriction the rest of the day. I was surprised when he suggested I ont get a fill (I never had this Dr before and the few times I had fills before the Drs were always pressuring me to go with a larger fill) he said it possibly sounded like a dilated pouch?(I think that's what he said) but I don't think I do, I have been tight in the mornings it seems like forever, I just think its me. He did say if we decided on a fill we should only do 1/4 or 1/2 cc. I really had my heart set since I drove 3 hours and decided to go with just 1/4 cc. He removed my fluid to see how much I had and then added 1/4 so now I have 61/4 in a 10 band. I am hoping that just the tiny bit will make a difference. I want my band to keep me away from bread, pasta ect... I love eating out!!!! But I don't really like eating out in the am because I am tight. It just takes so long to eat and it's a chore. So I am hoping I can get that same restriction at night too so I won't eat out 7 days a week. Even if my fill doesn't change anything since it was such a small fill, I am hoping the mere threat of getting stuck the next few weeks will get me back on track. I will keep you posted as the next couple weeks go on.
