Is there such a thing as people incapable of feeling full?



Recommended Posts

Okay, here's one for you. I was banded one year ago exactly and I have never felt the "sweet spot" of restriction.

I have a 11cc band and have had 2 fills now equalling a total of 9.4cc's. one at 3.4cc and another at 6cc. Have any of you had to be filled to the max in order to feel restriction?

I know I need to do better on not drinking and eating at the same time. I give myself a C+ on my efforts. But when I do the right thing, I still havent had restriction.

Decision to have surgery: weighed 232

Pre-surgery weight: 214 pounds

Surgery: July 2009

Post-surgery weight: 199 pounds

1st fill 3.4cc: Sept 2009: 202 pounds

2nd fill under fluro October 2009: 205 pounds, no stretched pouch or leak, 6CC

1 year later: 214 pounds

I'm at 11cc in the 14 cc band and I have some restriction. I have lost 112.5 lbs in the last two years since banding but I still carry a considerable amount of weight in my midsection. I'm hoping I do not have to max out my band to feel restriction, as I continue to lose my midsection weight.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
