HELP ! Exteme fluctuations with band restriction!! What to do?

[Barb119 0]

I was banded Jan. 12; have lost right at 40 lbs. Band is very tight in the mornings through mid afternoon, then loose as if I was never banded for the rest of the day .... what is going on? My weight stays within two pounds--up and down. the last fill was in June and doctor says will not do another fill until Sept. I think I have 10 cc in 12cc band. I am getting really even more depressed and don't know what to do... Will appreciate your thoughts/comments on this....

You are doing really great with your weight loss... don't get too down!

As for the morning restriction... most of the posts I've seen on the site here say after not eating at night, your pouch shrinks up a bit. With warm liquids or light eating, it stretches out during the day. Night has been the nemisis of most of us. Water and going to bed early help. Don't know of much else that could help apart from maybe adding a Protein Shake to your evening.

Ok..me too, tighter in am then free for all!

Actually, by lunch time I can eat too much. I had a fill July 16 and now have 7cc in my 10 cc band. I had great restriction all day for about 1 week. Now its only in ther morning. So I am waiting another week and then will call and inquire about another fill. Will power is fading fast

I feel the same way. I do a protien shake for Breakfast (after I workout around 11) I eat lunch around 2:30 and usually still have some restriction. By 4 I am starving. I go for a fill a week from Monday- can't wait.
