Anyones Band Get Tighter As You Loose Weight.



Recommended Posts

My last fill was late 11/11. It seems like my band has gotten tighter in the last month. Keep in mind I have 10.9 cc's in a 11cc band. I have never had situations where I get Hard stops when eating. I would say I got restriction after my last fill. My current restriction isn't really intense but definately more than before. I don't have any reflux, vomiting, PBing, and I don't have stuck episodes. Nothing like that. Previously I would have my 3 oz solid Protein 3/4 cup veggies and some fruit (4-5 grapes etc). Now it's more like 1/2 veggies and maybe some fruit but maybe not.

I've always been a slow looser despite making realllly healthy food choices and doing a minium of 60 minutes of cardio daily. Since getting laid off in January I've upped my exercise to 1 1/2-2 hours daily. I've lost about 20 pounds. Like I said I'm a slow looser.

My weight loss has been jumpstarted in the last month.

Anyone else have the band get tighter once they've lost weight instead of looser? I don't really think it could be a slip or erosion becuase I don't have any pain and have no trouble eating. Just seems like my restriction is more like what other's describe.

It might be from exercising more....seems to me that the more I walk, when i get home i can't eat. And depending what time of the month it is....I eat more week before my monthly friend comes...lol And I am a lot tighter during my period. But i dont think your band would get tighter when you lose...thats why I am thinking maybe from exercise increase!!

Danielle, hi thanks for your response. I was exercising daily before surgery and returned to the gym on day 5. My band does get tighter at TOM.

      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.
