I had my band adjusted on the 17th since then i can only take a few bites of anything. If i take more then that i end up throwing up. I am losing about 1/2 a lb of weight a day. I am so happy with the weight loss but i am also concerned i am to tight. I even have to be careful when i drink as well I cant gulp only sip. I do hope that it just means i have hit the green zone.

Hey Jules

Gosh missed seeing you on here. I am doing some better. I just have to be careful what i eat and how much i eat. If i eat something fast or to much it dont stay down. If i eat something that i cant tolerate then it starts me throwing up and it keeps up till i am clear. But as long as i follow the rules and eat slow and stop the first min i feel full and dont eat things with alot of bread etc... I do ok. I have lost 10 lbs since i had my fill.

hi I am experiencing the same kind of thing. my last fill was 2 months ago. I felt restriction but not a great amount. ive now lost 52lb and my band feels tighter. I can only eat Soup, porridge or mashed foods. im just wondering if its possible that the more weight you lose the tightness of the band can increase? seems strange to me.. would appreciate your thoughts on this, thanks x

I have not experienced that. But i did have a fill bout 2 mos ago and just NOW got where i can eat much of anything. I am due to go back to the dr this month but unless i change my mind don't believe i will be getting a fill. I am ok with getting sick often but it really upsets my daughter that i eat then have to run to throw up. I do contiune to slowly to lose weight. I just thought its been 8 mos since i had my band placed I was sure i would be at the 80 lb lost mark now but instead i am at 66 lbs lost. Which is alot better then i was a yr ago. I think i really need to focus not so much on my goal of loss per month but on the total goal. I am a much thinner person then i was when i started on this journey.

      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.
