If you're not too tight, why have some fill removed? Maybe talk to the psychologist in your team? Anxiety wasn't my direct issue, but a LOT of emotions are triggered as we lose weight and they are due not only to mental changes (self-esteem, identity issues) but also due to hormonal changes that happen when so much fat is released from our bodies so quickly. Please think carefully about reducing your fill unless you really believe you are too tight. Your surgeon will be able to advise you upon examination and listening to your symptoms.

I wish you the best and much success! You've lost a lot so far!

I've been told stress and anxiety can make it feel like the band is too tight.. So I feel like it's a vicious circle, I'm going to speak with my doc tomorrow and ask him what he recommends and I will make an app to see the psychologist.. I was prepared for the weight loss and the big change in diet but I wasn't expecting these feelings????

Thanks for the support x

      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.
