Don't know what's going on with my band. Went to supper with hubby this past Saturday night and ate very well. I finished all my meat and most of the onion rings and a small salad. Had no problems. Was thinking that I wished that my practioner had put in more fluid like I asked her to at my last fill. Went to Longhorn's with hubby tonight. Had 3 mushrooms, 3 bites of salad, 1/2 of a small lobster tail, and about 1/3 of a small filet and the rumble started. It felt like a volcano about to erupt. Made it out to the parking lot and had to puke a little. All I sould think of was "well,what a waste of an expensive meal". In all fairness, the meat was a little dry and this is the second time lobster has given me trouble. Shame too. I have had a love affair with lobster for a long time. Guess those day are over. Only trouble now is that it has only been 3 hours and I'm hungry again. Do I want to eat or have a protien shake or just try to weather it out. The more I think about it the more I want that sweet potatoe I brought home from the restaurant. It has been 6 months. I keep thinking it will get easiet but it hasn't. Do I need to get more in my band,or is that just going to make me get stuck more. I wish I had a magic wand and could just be skinny and be able to eat anything I want.

Hi Miss Ann, girl do I feel your pain! This band can often times be so fickle. One day I can eat what I want and the next day, not so much. I've had my band since May and I haven't gotten a fill since September and now all of a sudden I haven't been able to eat the last past couple of days. I went to a Pappadeaux's tonight for dinner and I couldn't keep down the spinach dip or the half lump crab cake. This morning, I ate two bites of malt-o-meal and it came back up. This has only happened to me one other time and I don't know what to think....#understandingplease

could it be that you are trying to eat to much? listen to your body and eat slowly, your band will let you know when you are full. Also knowing the difference between wanting more and being satisfied is another big one. It has took me a good six months to realize "hey I do not need to finish this, I am satisfied!"

Good luck

I agree with brenda. It does sound to me like you and eat quite a bit... but there are also a LOT of factors.... the weather actually affects my band... different foods...if you are eating or drinking with your food....there may be a lot of different things.... my dr says when I throw up I should do liquids only for AT LEAST the rest of the day if not then next day... I actually threw up earlier because i waited to long to eat and didnt chew my food the way i should. I ate chicken broth it was warm and soothed my stomach as well as making me feel full. Good luck
