....that I'm glad I called for a fill appointment. I go back and forth on do I need one, maybe I'm not working the band right, no I'm ravenous.....and on and on.

Today I had a nice size lunch, and as I'm taking my last bite, I'm still having BAD hunger pains. I honestly don't know what the heck is wrong with me.

Even when I had 'restriction' (or so my doc says), I never have the "not one more bite or else" event people speak of (not like I'm looking for it--I just don't know if I'm looking for the right signals of what full is). I know it's going to feel like it did before, but I don't even feel the full feeling in my chest. Some days, just when I think I have it all figured out, there I go again with the same confusion on what the heck it should feel like when I'm full!

Sorry guys, just needed to vent.

Will I ever figure this out???? :)

THANK YOU! I was banded on 1/13/09 and I feel the same way. I feel like I should have this down by now, but here I am still learning. I am just now getting that "not one more bite feeling" I am at 5.7 on a 10 band, I feel a lot of restriction when I eat and have issues. But I am not losing! Not for 3 months. Tomorrow I have a fill, hopefully I will still be able to eat!

I feel the same as well. I have had 5 fills...I couldn't tell you how much I have in my band. i think around 6 ccs in a 10 cc band. Anyway, I can eat a whole restaurant size salad at a sitting and that is way beyond the 1/2 cup we are supposed to be full at. Today was like a buffet day at my house - just grazed all day. I don't think I have lost a pound since my last appt in March. I go back in two weeks. I am always embarassed to have only lost 2-ish pounds each appt which are about 5 weeks apart.

Anyway, I was banded in November and you still have accomplished way more than me. Congrats and good luck on this fill!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
