I'm starting to think something is wrong with my band :( last doctor appointment my doctor was acting like he was upset with me that I didint lose more weight but I never feel full. I'm following the diet with eating lots of meat and Protein and veggies and I work out. What am I doing wrong? Please help me :(

Hi Tansmommy. I was banded in January so a few weeks after you. I haven't had any fills and have never felt restriction...only satiety after eating my band sized portions. I also never feel full. Again, I eat till I'm not hungry...which is not the same as full. Are you tracking your calories so you know exactly what you are taking in? That's what I do in order to know just how much I am consuming.

I do not exercise as I have a medical issue that makes it impossible to do so at the moment. As such, again, I am very aware of how much food I am eating. I've lost 76 lbs. so far. Try tracking your calories in something like Myfitnesspal and see if that helps you at all. Oh..and the doctor is a jerk. He shouldn't be giving you attitude...he should be helping you to figure out how to work the band better. Good luck with your weight loss journey.

Hello,

1) I don't have a complete picture of what your caloric intake/exercise output is so I'm not sure how much of a factor that is

2) Does your doc remove all the Fluid before administering more to ensure there is not a leak.

3) Some people require very large fills before they reach green, whilst other's need little (even none) so this just may you needing more Fluid. I also don't know how aggressive your dr is with his fills, but 7cc in about 7 months seems appropriate.

Give us a typical day's menu so we can compare it to ourselves and give you some honest feedback

      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.

      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.
