Myfitnespal said I was putting my body in starvation mode. How do I get out????? I must admit I don't exercise as much as I should, but I work 5 12 ur shifts a week so I'm tired. I guess I'm rushing in it.

Lmbo, my diet consist mainly of a protein shake in the morning at 530 before work. At 730 2 boiled egg whites and a banana. Lunch at 1130 a grilled chicken breast with 1 onion and 1 tomato. At 430 a chobani Greek yogurt. At 8 when o get off work maybe a piece of chicken or fish and some green vegetables. And I always drink 30 minutes after each meal and only water.SO WHAT AM I DOING WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm still getting hungry every 4 hours before the 2nd fill it was every 3 hours. I hope and pray that I lose some weight by my appointment next month, if I don't it would probably kill me.

I think I've put my body in starvation mode according to myfitness pal. I barely eat 800 calories a day. My surgeon says the protein shakes are good
-
I now have 4.5cc in my band couldn't hold water down with 5cc. Feeling bad because I haven't lost any weight since my 1st fill on 6/14. I'm eating small portion, staying away from carbs and sweets, drinking them nasty protein shakes. And I'm exercising not as much as I should, please HELP!
-
My first fill was 6/14, 2cc was added to total 3cc. It wasn't painful at all, just like when they draw labs. I'm only hungry when I wake up in the morning. I can feel a difference with food going down if I don't chew enough
