I had my surgery six months ago and just feel so down. One of my friends has talked me into getting on the computer and talking to other people that have had the surgery ,so here I am. I have the band that holds 10cc's and I am at 4cc's. I was at 5 but I had alot of issues with eating last month. I could not keep food in.I had to live on Protein Shakes. I am still having some issues with eating. I am tired of just shakes and eggs, Protein Bars. Is this normal???????

try chewing even more, or smaller bites and make sure not to dry

If you arent able to eat solid food then u need to return to your doctor, it may well be that u still need some Fluid removed from your band. The relief u will feel when u can eat failry normally is worth the effort it will take on your part to restrict yourself on the amount of food u eat.

It does sound like u are too tight and that in its self can cause u not to lose weight as u tend to eat more slider foods as this is all u can eat..

good luck .......you need to get back to doctor !

It has been over a week since the dr has taken out 1cc. Yeah, plan on calling the dr again on Monday. The thing is I have been losing weight right along. I have lost 64lbs since my surgery. The last couple of months has been the worse not being able to eat. Thanks for the help.
