My Band has a MIND of its OWN!!!!!!!



Recommended Posts

Ok So my band really does have a mind of its own!!!!!!!!!!! Yesterday for lunch we went out to subway (sometimes i can tolerate bread) My boyfriend and I were chatting away and i looked down and had completed a whole 6 inch sub!!!! (take in mind i probably ate it over an hour period) This is very unusual for me to be able to eat that much! Then I ate my normal sized dinner and went to bed.

Ok so now to the band and its mind... Today I cant eat ANYTHING ughhh haha! I guess my band has said "I let you eat yesterday so no food for you today!" Does anyone else have days like this??? Most days I'm on my normal diet... Some days i can eat the world... then on others I cant eat ANYTHING

:blink::lol:

My band also has a mind of it's own, but I don't think it would let me eat a 6" sub because it won't let me eat bread :blink: . There are days were my normal food just doesn't want to go down as easily. I think it all has to do with hormone and my cycle. My band and I are a team, but most of the time it seems to be in charge.:lol:

Mine is like that too! As you loose weight your band gets looser and you need another fill....also your hormones play a huge part. The week before my period I am so tight I can hardly eat and then I am back to "normal" after that. You are not alone I have the same weird stuff happen to me too!

I am finding out that my band is the same way. Seems on sundays it lets me eat what I want and then come Monday and Tuesday back to really small meals if it even lets me eat. Weird :blink:

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
