    tight band and nutrition help

    I went to the support group and spoke with the Dr and dietician. The dietician said I did not look well and put me on liquid meal replacements. I then went the next day and had the Dr. take out saline which put me back to the level of the fill before. It has been a week and I am feeling normal again. It doesnt seem like the band is working but then again, I was so used to it being too tight that I dont have a good guage. All I know is that I dont want to lose anymore weight and am working with the dietician to get a meal plan to help me with maintenance. I am not craving food and am eating small portions so the Dr. thinks this fill may be just right for me.
  2. I also have been helped by hot beverages. I have had lots of inflamation and vomiting episodes since banding 14 months ago. By this I mean that I can eat lots of different foods and do just fine until one day I cant keep anything down. My digestive track becomes inflamed and I go on liquids for a week. I have just realized that I have had more of these "spells" than I realize so I have contacted my Dr. and dietician. If anyone else has had these problems please respond and know that you are not alone.

    tight band and nutrition help

    I am having the same problems and it has been 5 weeks since my fill. I also feel tired and have no energy. I know that I am not getting enough nutrition and it isnt because I am eating too much or too fast.

    Irrationally upset by crazy coments.....

    The hardest part about the lapband or any other weight loss for me is comments from others. I am a very straight forward person so I just tell people because they make comments about how little I am eating. Bottom line, We are fat because of something within us that makes us eat. People without weight problems dont understand. I am not trying to be thin just healthy. I guess the best answer to people and their comments is to understand that they dont understand.
