First unfill

Feb 01, 2010

OK, last Monday I got a fill, and I was at 5.9cc. Swallowed water fine at the doc's office.  Did full liquids for 2 days and felt immediately tighter.  Thought, great, now we're talkin'!  Then did 2 days mushies like yogurt and oatmeal and scrambled eggs.  I was PBing EVERYTHING, even liquids and yogurt!  Holy moly, I couldn't eat anything.  My stomach was growling constantly, but almost no food would go through the band.  I gave it a week, then went in today to my doc.  She removed about 1/2 a cc, so I'm down to 5.5-ish, I think.  Oh my, immediate difference.  I drank a smoothie and a cup of tomato soup.  It was heaven! 

I now know what it means to be too tight, and how you can gain with a too-tight band.  I was willing to eat ANYTHING that would just slide through so my hunger pains would stop.  I basically lived on recees cups and protein shakes yesterday.  Not fun.  Still lost 2 lbs, but I felt awful.  Now, I'm back to 2 days liquids, 2 days mishies, then solids.  I'm SO looking forward to solids!!
