Congrats!!! Why do you say it almost killed you? Lol just wondering??

I am the same exact way...I weigh every morning, after every potty break and when i get home from work. I just cant stop!!!! how do you keep yourself from doing it?

How many fills have you had? You probably just havent got good restriction yet..how long do you go before you are hungry? How much can you eat at one meal?

Thank you everyone for your response i usually dont get much luck on here with people answering my post!!! I guess the only thing i can do is go get it checked out!! I appreciate everyones opinions!!!! I will come back and update if i get to figure out what it is!!!!!

that is what i thought too..ive googled it!

I hate when people say its just gas lol how can it be gas in the same exact place every single time? I dont know, but i plan on making an appointment with my doctor just to rule out anything serious!!! thank you!!!

Yeah I still have my gallbladder but I thought that might be pain on your right side? And my doc recommends liquids for 2 days then mushies for a day. I don't have any back pain just sharp pain on my left side like where my spleen is.

I know my band is tight but I am not ever hungry I have to remind myself to eat something or I won't eat. Maybe it is gas I might get it checked out if he keeps doing it just to cancel out anything to do with my spleen or intestines it could be nothing but better safe than sorry. I'm actually thinking kidney stones

I've had my band for a year in July and it just started happening last week so I don't think it's breaking a band rule because I haven't been perfect at all lol. I just got a fill 2 weeks ago and I barely eat anything so it's really not what I eat

Mine doctor does this too! The only part that Hurt was the numbing medicine going in!

I was in the same boat I was hungry more I was able to eat more and did get stuck occasionally but that was only because I took too big of bites and didn't chew well. I was 188-186 from jan- beginning of June I had an appt for a fill in may but like you my husband refused to let me go because he thought I didnt need it because I was still throwing up some but I swore to him it was all my fault because I wasn't eating right so I proved it to him for a couple weeks that I would eat slower and chew better and I stopped throwing up so he agreed to the fill. Long story long lol I got a fill last Monday and I am 182.4 so 4lbs since last Monday I have lost after a 5 month plateau and I feel full all the time even when I wake up I can barely hit 500 calories by 2pm. I would really consider getting another fill even if it's a small one and just chew and take smaller bites! I had 7cc in my 10cc band but now I have 7.5cc and it's a world of difference I believe I am in my green zone!!!! good luck!!!

Yup it's true you won't start losing weight steadily until you get some fills and restriction! I know you are like me I was hope it would just fall off instantly and as I got to my 6 months I was at 30lbs lost and I didn't have any movement for 3 months then I got another fill and I've lost 4lbs in a week an half! It's all about restriction!!!!! Be patient I know you are tired of hearing that but it's the best advice to give to a new bandster because we have all been there in your shoes but it does happen!!!!

I just got out of a 3 month plateua maybe you need more fill? I got a fill and started exercising more now the scale is moving!

hope it helps!

I get rid of head hunger when I eat 6-7 small meals a day. I actually set my alarm for every 2 hours to eat something small with protein and it keeps me full all day and not starving to wear I binge eat! It's worked out great so far!!!!

I had a fill Monday of 7.75 in my 10cc band I feel it tighter only because when I eat I feel my food going slower and kinda stuck feeling but I still feel like I can eat just as much as before my fill! What's the longest it's taking your fill to work???

I'm really tight in the mornings almost so tight liquids won't go down except hot coffee if I dont have my coffee in the morning then I can't hardly eat anything during the day but if I drink coffee in the morning I can eat fine!
