Hello All~
I am new here and have been having problems for about 4 years. I have always been tight in the morning and can as you say "eat a house" for dinner too.
I don't know if this will help or not but for me drinking warm things in the am helps loosed my band up a bit. Its kind of like the band is rigid in the morning for some reason.
Its crazy how much I can eat for dinner, like a totino's whole pizza by myself. But can't eat till like maybe 3pm or later. I don't ever have the grumbling hungry feeling ever though. I do know after my 4 years of being banded and being too tight, throwing up, then having some of the fill removed I still have problems. Someone once told me that if you don't enough you're never going to lose. If I went by how much I can eat at night I would say I need a fill, but then if I was any tighter I wouldn't be able to get down all my liquids in the morning. I feel kind of like I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't. The lap band has definitely limited my portions but I sure do wish it had worked on me the way it shows on tv... LOL
This might not be the case but it sure seems like when I'm stressed, its tighter and I eat less. Does anyone notice that?
Thanks... glad to be here to have someone to talk to.
Have a great day!!
