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.

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
