I was banded 9-09. I have only lost about 40lbs. I have not lost any weight for the past 2 months. I have not had a fill since NOV. OR Dec. I can't remember which month. I have 5.5cc. I can not eat anything until about 2pm because I am so tight in the mornings. I drink liquids until 2 or eat slider foods. after 2pm I can eat almost anything and lots of it 2,3,4 cups of soup, or whatever. If I try to eat an egg, or anything else I get stuck and start slimming and of course throw up.

 

When I go out to eat I get a little nervous and always get stuck and PB. I do chew slow and eat very very slow.

My questions are...Do you think because I am worrying about the possibility of getting stuck an having to eat so slow (everyone is always sitting there starring a me because they are waiting on me to finish eating so we can leave.)

that maybe I have constriction? I always PB when I am in that situation. Or Do you think I have stretched my stomach, or do I need a fill? I go to the doctor Friday and I don't know what to tell him. I have probably gained 2 or 3 lbs. I work out 4 to 5 days a week. May be I just over eat in the afternoons. I never feel fully satisfied or full.

 

I just don't know what to tell the Doc. Even before the Doc comes in the room the nurse will stick her head in the door and ask if i need a fill.

 

What should I tell the Doc this Friday?:rolleyes2::confused::confused:

Be honest and tell them you can only eat liquids before 2pm.

Be honest that you PB after eating an egg.

Be honest with yourself you may need to get an un-fill.

Honestly, You may be too tight.

I have been there and you do not lose if that is what is happening to you. I had a little removed twice and I have never been happier in my life.

Be honest and work with your band. Best wishes imaluckydog

I agree w/luckydog... just be honest with the doc. I will also add that stress definitely causes me to tighten up and if I try to eat... stuck-city! Good luck at the appt!

I have seen a few ppl talk about this and they end up benifiting from a slight unfill. It makes sense that you are hungry in the afternoon because your on liquids all morning. It takes hard protein to fill your pouch and give you the full signal. If you can't eat just a bit of something solid in the morning you may want to back off your fill level a bit. Slider foods have more calories and you can get more in which in turn prevents you from losing. Don't just tell your doc what you want. Get his advice. You pay alot of money for his time get your moneys worth. You don't have to eat a full breakfast. I eat about half an egg just to get my pouch full. By evening I can eat more. Let us know how it goes. Good luck.
