dang it! Shouldn't I have the hang of this by now?

Ok, here goes. I have been banded for almost 2 years. I started at 210 pounds, lost 50, gained 10 back. I am now 170ish.

Here is my problem. I cannot eat during the day( Nothing goes down, I feel very restricted and end up spitting up), therefore, I eat icecream..yes icecream. This is how I gained the 10 pounds back. Come 8:00 at night, I am able to eat like a horse. What is this about? Am I too restricted? Even on those rare times when I can eat, I never feel "full". My "full" feeling is when food gets stuck.

I am considering going to the doctor to get some saline removed. Maybe I am too tight? Maybe my band slipped. Anyone else have this issue?

Yup, I think you're too tight. Get a small unfill. An all ice cream diet can't be good for you. :)

while an all ice cream diet does have all of the appeal of, well an all ice cream diet, it really isn't good for you.

Yes, you are too tight, go for an unfill. :)

I guess I just needed to hear it from someone who understands. I will call the doctor on Monday to schedule an unfill. Thanks guys!

While you probably should get a small unfill, I've also read that if you eat a good bit at night, it will keep you restricted throughout the morning/midday/and sometimes afternoon. I have found that this has happened to me, so I tried cutting back at night and not eating after 8pm at all. For a few days, I was quite hungry in the evenings, but after that, I was able to get something down for Breakfast and lunch, therefor felt less hungry at dinner. Of course I occasionally slip up on that plan lol, but its all a learning curve.

Its worth a shot :)
