Hello, sorry to be so blunt but does anyone else have problems eating around their time of the month?? Ive noticed for a few days before and during i am unable to eat or anything i do manage to get down comes back up with a load of slime........Am i just imagining it ????

HOw often are you supposed to have a protein shake ??

Hello wrenbird, when you have that hurty feeling, in my experience it usually means i have eaten too much, too quickly. I also don't feel "full" as such but after 7 months i now now when to stop before i get to the stadge that i bring up loads of slime stuff. The eating slowly and small bites is the single most difficult thing i have had to learn to do since the band and even now i still struggle some days. Also, you have only just had your 1st fill. Many people need only 1 or 2 but some of us need more to find our correct restriction. Keep trying with a whole range of food, eat slowly and carefully and hopefully the hurty feeling will go x

Hi there, i have trouble every time i have a fill ( i have had 4) and i am unable to eat for up to 2 weeks after. This is normal for me i have come to realise however, the last fill i had in september was awful as i couldn't even take water and ended up collapsing. What i did realise this time though is that i was very pre-menstral and i really believe that is what makes it so bad for me. I think you need to give it more time after your fill to let the swelling calm down again, stick to fluids or soft for a few days/ week and then see if it all settles down before you have a de-fill. Like you i can still eat a fair bit and on the odd days but can rearly eat much at all whilst im pre-menstral. Hope this helps :wink2: Oh, and we all fall off the wagon now and again, we are only human x

Good luck :laugh:
