[slapshot 0]

wake up at 11am

11am - coffee and Water till 12

12pm - Protein Shake with extra Calcium

1-4pm - water

4pm - one or two bites of a fruit, veggie, or meat.< /p>

5-7pm - still feel full but able to drink some water

7pm - dinner - a few tiny bites of chicken or maybe 2-3 bites of salad or a bite of each which is what i have been doing.

8-11pm water

11pm - 2 bites of something that looks good(sometime fro-yo which i can still only have 2 bites of even though its ice cream) but mostly healthy stuff.

rest of night i drink water. i prob total 50oz of water daily

it has been a week since my fill. i am going to give it a few more days and hopefully i open up a tiny bit. i also forgot to mention i take a mens oneaday.

i am not fatigued. i have energy to do my exercises everyday. i am tired when i am done but i think i should be.

any thoughts or ideas on any part of my day i would really love to hear.

thanks everyone

Jeff

I am having the same problems and it has been 5 weeks since my fill. I also feel tired and have no energy. I know that I am not getting enough nutrition and it isnt because I am eating too much or too fast.

YOU NEED AN UNFILL. A small unfill will do you wonders. I let that happen to me and got to the point of almost passing out. Go NOW to get an unfill. You need more nutrition than what you are getting. I know, the scale is rocking, but STOP looking at the scale. A too tight band can = a band that will slip. Don't chance it.

Yep, unfill. You will become seriously depleted on such an inadequate intake and it will probably affect your weight loss too. You wont recover properly after exercise, meaning you wont build and maintain muscle.

I went to the support group and spoke with the Dr and dietician. The dietician said I did not look well and put me on liquid Meal Replacements. I then went the next day and had the Dr. take out saline which put me back to the level of the fill before. It has been a week and I am feeling normal again. It doesnt seem like the band is working but then again, I was so used to it being too tight that I dont have a good guage. All I know is that I dont want to lose anymore weight and am working with the dietician to get a meal plan to help me with maintenance. I am not craving food and am eating small portions so the Dr. thinks this fill may be just right for me.
