For the veterans. Am I too tight?



Recommended Posts

I got a fill last Thursday 2/4. It was fill of 0.5cc. I'm not sure how much I have in my band but I think it's about 6cc.

After I was on liquid and mushy and back on regular food every time I eat I get this loud gurgling and while I'm not stuck it's loud and embarrassing. My restriction is high.

I also have a hard time eating before 2-3pm. The morning is really hard even if it's yogurt and Soup with quinoa yesterday was a chore. After about 2-3pm my band gets looser and it's easier to eat.

I am losing weight but wondering if this is too tight. I'm writing this after eating some oatmeal and trying not to have the gurgles be too loud for coworkers.

I gurgle all the time...I think it's neat.

Especially first thing in the morning when everything is quiet and I am having my first cup of coffee...

I have not been able to eat a Breakfast in over 4 years...my band is very tight in the morning, loosens as the day goes on...so I have a high Protein smoothie every morning, made in my blender, with fresh fruit, almond milk, etc.

About 35-40gms of Protein to start the day...try to match that with eggs, oatmeal, etc....

(BTW, I do not believe the band actually tightens and loosens, but it is the best way to describe it.

I believe it is something else but that's another story)

Today I had a hard time eating anything so I'm going to get a slight unfill tomorrow. I'm always hungry because I can't eat enough to last me more than 2 hours. Hoping taking about 2.5cc will make the difference or maybe just 1.

      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...

        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.
