Your lack of sensation could be nerve damage from diabetes, stomach virus, surgery or even an unknown cause. Usually with nerve damage there are other symptoms, besides absence of sensation. Disorders like gastroparesis and other motility disorders cause pretty severe, quality of life altering symptoms and can be debilitating.

In the absence of these symptoms, I wouldn't worry too much, but by all means talk to your doctor (band, PCP or gastroenterologist) if you are concerned or are having signs of dismotility.

Hang in there!

Josh, I too, can eat whatever I want and as much as I want. As I read through all the reply posts, I realize I had the wrong interpretation of what the band was supposed to do. I thought it would stop me from eating; I thought I would get some signal (i.e. pain) that I was full. But as some of the responses say, it's supposed to make you less hungry and satisfy you longer. Well then, in that regard, I think it is working. But that then gets me into another issue which is that I might not be hungry until the next day and have started only eating one meal a day. Again, I know that's not right either. I've had 5 or 6 fills and have the average amount of Fluid in the band when people are in the green zone. Now I know I haven't really addressed your question/concerns as originally posted but does that really matter at this point? :-) Good luck to you... with or without fluid.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
