I hate eating in front of people especially when my throat or stomach or whatever it is makes tons of noises!! My hubby laughs which is fine bc it does sound funny but when your out and it starts people seem to look at you weird. Its embarrassing actually. starting weight 287.6 current weight 258.4

Well its good to hear it takes a whole year for it to stop hahaha. starting weight 287.6 current weight 258.4

I get random tightness! Perfect example right now!! Nothing wants to do down barely even my juice I'm drinking. starting weight 287.6 current weight 258.4

I think I'm going to put a cup in my purse. Bc i can only eye ball so much b4 i question if its about a cup. Although it takea me an hour to eat a cup of certain things at least i know that I'm eating my cup! Does anyone else do this?

I have never heard the 20 min thing. I should ask my dr about that bc i eat so slowly and carefully that it just takes me that long starting weight 287.6 current weight 258.4

Off topic where did you get that shirt!!!?!?!? You look great!!!!!

Omgosh i cant eat steamed spinach on a lot of days. Some days i can eat something and the next day it just sits in my pouch then i throw it up bc it makes me sick. The main thing is chew till you want to spit it out and eat slowly! It takes me about 45mins to eat my cup

I love it. Thank you for posting this. I want to cry all the time when i cant eat things when i see my friends just eating away and can be fit and healthy. Going to dinner is def hard! When everyone is eating a burrito and rice, and I'm across the table sipping on soup or veggies its very frusterating. Great job on 50lbs!!

I'm not hostile at all i just dont think someone should be giving half a.. answer. People are on here asking for advice and not even getting the proper answer. If you cant answer the right way why take the time to answer at all. But oh well.

Straight from lapband.com How it works Without any stomach cutting or stapling, the LAP-BAND ® System reduces your stomach’s capacity, restricting the amount of food you are able to eat at one time. Plus, you feel full faster and stay full longer, so you wind up eating less. In other post she has said its not made to make you feel restricted. So idk where she is getting her info. For someone who doesnt have the time to explain her answer to someones question then why take the time to answer. But whatever.

Well my dr wouldnt tell me what exactly i have but he said the large one??

Ok i dont know why mis73 keeps telling everyone that the band is not suppose to help you feel full. Its designed to help you feel full, feel full longer and with less food. Heres a clip from the web Adjustments The lap band works by decreasing the size of the stomach as well as making the stomach feel full longer. The lap band makes you feel full by inflating a small balloon located inside of the device. This balloon can continually be inflated and deflated by outside control. It also allows the physician to expand the balloon if complications occur. To expand the lap band a small amount of saline solution is inserted into the device through an access port just underneath the skin Now me personally feel full all day long when i dont even eat a damn thing. My stomach could be growling like a damn bear but i feel full/no hungry. Now its not designed to to make you feel stuffed or anything but it does help you to feel full plain and simple.

Give the restriction a few days to kick in. After my second fill i did the same thing until about 2 days later. Now i cant eat a darn thing I'm so tight

I have 4ccs i had my surgery in may and i just started drinking my protein shakes again. Bc i am really tight i can not get mich of anything down. I have been eating a lot of veggies but not enough to get my daily amount. One protein shake a day is perfectly fine. I always drink it in the morning since i dont have time for breakfast and i dont have time to mess around with throwing up or painful stuck episodes. Drink it in the morning that way you have a better chance to burn off the extra calories

When, or if ever, do you feel full instead of pain?

I honostly feel sick after a few bites i dont know if I'm too tight but idk

The problem is I'm not even getting prob a half of cup sometimes i take a bite of something and it just hurts I'm chewing well and taking slow small bites unlessbi eat yogart or ice cream. I cant live off slider foods or the band will do me no gopd
