Thank you to those that are supportive in your words. This is the first topic I have posted and honestly I hesitated to post it because I didnt want to discourage anyone from getting the surgery (since there are some that have not had the surgery yet). But I was hoping for constructive information. I am having to learn how to eat all over again. I had a Lapband put in on Feb 2011 and recently had several complications with it. My stomach is much bigger now than what it was because of what was going on with my band. Yes I have lost 27.2 pounds but that was as of January 24th. I have not lost 1 pound since then. I am eating exactly as my surgeon suggested. I have joined several blogs to see what others are eating but my problem has been that I never get "full". I eat as much as directed but still feel extremely hungry. I have somehow developed a sensitivity to dairy which I never had so it is hard to get most liquid protein options in without instantly needing to run to the bathroom. My taste buds have been strange since as well. I have spoke to and seen my surgeon several times to address my concerns but he and I are not quite sure what is going on. I work 2 jobs, averaging 16 hours a day. One is extremely active. So I am not just sitting around eating all day. I am doing everything possible to better myself mentally and physically but nothing has happened. Truthfully I regret posting this whole topic. Right now I am very discouraged, depressed and sad and thought this would be a good place to see how everyone else is doing but I was wrong. Thank you for the lecture from one of you. Much support should be given here. I hope to find out how to delete this topic as its a set back for me. Can anyone tell me how to delete it? Or can I just delete my profile and it go away??

Ok, so not trying to be a b***h but really?! I thought this was a place to get help and see if anyone else is going through what we are. Everyone's journey is completely different. I am eating exactly as instructed by my surgeon. I log my food as if I would die without doing it. My doctor is just as baffled as I am. I eat as much as they instruct but my concern WAS why am I always hungry etc. I will explain more in my update on this thread. Good luck in your continued journey but also remember to be kind

I had my lapband removed and a sleeve done. I rarely feel full, Im always hungry and food tastes so weird now. I habe lost weight in the last month. I feel I can eat much more than expected Sent from my VS996 using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi there, I unfortunately cannot stay out of the bathroom. Surgery was 1-11-18 and about 20 minutes after eating I have to run to the bathroom. I am always hungry as well. I am feeling the emotional toll of it all. Hang in there. Everyone's body works differently. Sent from my XT1650 using BariatricPal mobile app
