This afternoon I am going for my 3rd fill. I am very ready! Although I felt good restriction for a couple of months, I have feet like my band has gotten too loose now. I am hungry alot more often and it takes way more food to satisfy my hunger. I am still eating less than pre-surgery but it's more than I should be eating. I haven't been as careful with what I've been eating either. I have been eating some of the foods (crackers, cookies, etc) again. It seems like I just grab whatever I can get my hands on when I'm hungry. I hope this fill will give me the "kick in the butt" I need.
Have a blessed day!

Hey Becky.. I am real interested to see how fill #3 makes you feel. How much do you have now and how far apart are your fills? I am struggling a bit too.. so we can be kindred spirits in this go around.
ReplyDeleteHi Barbara!
ReplyDeleteI got 1cc put in my band today. That brings me up to 4.6cc total. It only been a few hours but all seems well. I am on clear liquids the rest of today; clear liquids advanced as tolerated to full liquids for the next 2 days; then finally soft/mushies for the 2 days after that. I'll be back to "normal" foods on Sunday.
As far as the timing of my fills, I had my lap-band surgery on July 27, my first fill at the end of August, and the second at the end of September. I was scheduled to go for my third fill at the beginning of November but I cancelled the appointment since I felt like I had good restriction then. I have felt too loose since mid-December so I decided to go in for a third fill. Since around the time I started feeling too loose I have also gained a few pounds back :-(
Best of luck to you!
