Either too loose or too tight:(



Recommended Posts

Since my last fill I have days where I'm either so tight that I can't keep food down at all or I'm so loose that I can eat anything and everything and I'm starving all day.

Today I've been able to eat things that I haven't been able to eat in months with no problem whatsoever. Why can't I find a middle/perfect ground with my band?

What are you guys doing on loose days? It seems on those days I'm absolutely starving and I have a hard time staying below my daily calorie goal.

I have that problem also, I will have days when I think that I need a fill because I can eat anything and so I make up my mind to get a fill. The day before I have problems with getting stuck. I think my band is fickle...but I love it anyways! When I can eat whatever, I try (and it is hard) to eat good choices but I love to be bad sometimes too. If I eat something sweet, I make sure that I have a cheese stick or something with it. It makes me feel like it cancels each other out somehow. This has been a funny journey to try and get my mind in tune with my stomach. Keep up the good work!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
