So far...still a little tight today

Last night I was able to eat 1/2 cup of ice cream but even that didn't just slide on down! Me thinks I may be a little too tight as I was not able to comfortably drink a cup of coffee this morning. My doctor is closed today for the holiday but will be open tomorrow so I guess I will call depending on what happens today.

I'm going to the gym in a little while and i will slowly try to drink some water and than I will try some yogurt when I get home. I even had trouble drinking my water yesterday! He put in .35 cc's last Thursday and maybe if he pulls out .1 or even a little more I will feel better. The irony of this is that he originally put in .8cc's!!! Can you imagine? That was not happening as I couldn't even get down one sip of water!

I made some kick-ass meatballs in marinara sauce last night and I felt like crying when I couldn't eat even 1/2 without it coming up! Everyone was oohing and aahing about how good they were and thats when I said to myself that I shouldn't be feeling like this. Up until now, I was able to eat just about anything but just a little of it and when I couldn't even eat a smooshed up meatball, I knew something was wrong!

Ok, my fickle little band...you have until the end of today to let me know if we are heading back to Dr. D on Wednesday or not! This will not be the most pleasant trip either as we have to take Mallory and Kevin to Orlando International Airport and the doctors office is not exactly on the way. Its probably like 50 miles on the other side of the airport which will add another 100 miles to my 200 round trip ride to the airport! Good thing my husband doesn't mind driving!

Our plans changed today so we will be having a BBQ later on and will be going to the Alligator Farm tomorrow instead. This Alligator Farm better be interesting or everyone will kill me as I seem to be the only one who is excited about it!

I will let you all know what I decide to do about the un-fill! Have a great day!

Wow, I have never been that tight. I hope it improves! Hang in there.

Andrew said...

It certainly looks like you need a little out...

TJ said...

I hope things losen up quickly for you!!

Theresa said...

That sounds miserable. I hope you feel better soon.

Nicole said...

I've gotten the exact same way all of a sudden out of the blue (can't get down my 1/2 cup of ice cream, can't eat the yumminess everyone else is eating without pb'ing)... and my last fill was at the beginning of April. So, just as a different point of view, I'm NOT going to get an unfill, because this goes away and everything gets back to normal. For me, anyway. Some bandsters wait a week or so for restriction to kick in, and I'm one that waits a week or two for restriction to normalize out.

I am in the same boat, it is often too tight right now but sometimes not. I hate to get an unfill but I can't stand it when I get pain every time I eat.

Sounds you are very close to your sweetspot. Take a lil out, I had a .2 fill & had to have it all removed, it is so miserable to be too tight. I am only allowed .1 fills max now on. Finicky bands lol

These lapbands are crazy critters, aren't they? I hope mine is a little more predictable. Hope yours stops giving you a hard time. Maybe you can threaten it with an alligator. :)

Wow...that sucks. I wish I could say I know how you feel but I've had 2 fills and can still eat anything. After the 2nd fill I lost 5 lbs that first weeks but that initial restriction has already eased up and I only managed a pound lost this week...with little help from Horton.
Hope you're feeling better soon doll.

It's been 4 weeks since I got my 0.1 cc fill and I am now getting a lot of restriction and stucks. I'm thinking of going for a tiny 0.1 unfill but will wait for a few days. I will say, if you can only get down fluids have them take out a tiny amount. You'll fee better.

I'm hoping you are feeling better soon. It's a sucky feeling...i know! After everything I went through after my last fill, at times it feels like I have less restriction than I did before the fill. It's so hard to find the right spot!!
