I lost it, who has it??????

athykay · October 19, 2004

Next Monday I will be getting my first fill. It can't be soon enough I feel like someone just cut out my band. The last couple of weeks I have experienced hunger. I mean true hunger I thought I lost it. I could eat non stop. And this happened so sudden. It was like one day I woke up and my band was gone. I don't know where it went but I want it back and I want it back now.

I really believed that I wouldn't ever feel this way again, and boom there it is. When I first lost it I thought oh it will come back but no not yet. Then I got on the scale and now it is telling lies. What is going on?????? Where is my band????? And who told my scale to lie.

Help stolen band and lying scale what am I to do???????

:angry :angry

Please tell me someone here as had the same things going on.

Kathy how far post op are you? I am starting to feel the same way...my restriction is getting to be less and less by the day...makes me feel like i'm doing something terribly wrong but everyone says it's normal unless you've had a fill. So i guess we have to just suffer with eating whatever we want...lol...ohhh the torture...

What kind of lies is that scale telling you? Are you still losing? If so, believe it. Sometimes we think we eat way more than we really do. I didn't take your band. I think Penni has it.

Well it was up 2 pounds on Monday but back down 1 today so I feel better. But I feel hungry all the time. May 21st 2004 was my surgery date so it has been 5 months so I know that I have been pretty lucky. No great loss in the last 2 months but stayed about the same. Untill this last couple of weeks. I am so ready for a fill. Monday can't get here soon enough. Penni if you have my band please give it back. NOW :devious

Thanks a bunch for the clue Delarla.

So you had restriction all along but suddenly it's gone? How long has it been gone? That's happened to me a couple times, but as soon as it left, it comes back. Just have a pitcher of salt Water. That water retention will kick the restriction up a notch. I'd make a great doctor, right. Don't even think of listening to me!

Kathy, how about joining the weekly weigh-in challenge? It really does help to stay off of that scale. It can drive you crazy!

Yes it was suddenly gone. I mean my hunger just kicked into high gear. I feel as if I could eat and eat and never get full. The weird thing is up until I lost it I never really felt hungry. I only ate because I knew I needed too. That is what I miss the most, a satisfied feeling. I sure hope it comes back with my fill Monday.

Delara are you serious did you really drink a pitcher of salt Water or was that Margaritta's?

Marie I have gave that a lot of thought. I may just do that after my fill.

Thanks,

It is Wednesday only 5 days to go.

I didn't really drink a pitcher of salt Water, however, after a salty day, I find myself more restricted. Water retention does it for me. And I've only had 1/2 of one drink since the bash. I wasn't planning on drinking at all, but Sunday's motorcycle ride took us through a wind storm that scared the *&^*$$@ out of me! We still had to get all the way home, and since I wasn't driving, I had half a drink for the road to prevent heart failure! Sorry, but that wasn't fun for me - I thought we were gonna go up in a tornado, bike and all!

Oh wow Lisa! Glad to hear you made it back safe and sound! I am sure that was not a fun experience. I think that 1/2 a drink was very well justified...Yikes glad your ok!
