Having A Difficult Time

By Cnewme2012

· 858 views

Hi guys I have been having a really difficult time keeping most foods down. I usually have my protein shake for breakfast and lunch and maybe a 1/2 cup of greek yogurt. I have been making a vegetable soup with chicken stock and I can keep it down some days. I'm afraid that something may be wrong with the band but I have't gone to the Doctor for fear that I may not continue to lose weight. I'm down 60 lbs since 4/24/2012. I'm getting so tired of not being able to eat food, and I mean healthy foods, fish, salad etc. I know this isn't normal but has anyone else experience this?

    Hi

    Call the doctor asap. This does not sound normal. It's great to lose weight but it has to be healthy.

    Good luck.

    It might just be that you need a slight unfill. There is no need to assume worse case just yet. You need to speak to your physician and just discuss what's going on. If it is worst case... it could save your life.

    You need to be able to eat solids, if you can't you are too tight and this is not good for you or your band. Yes you will lose weight but this is not the healthy way. Call your doctor and make an appointment please.
