I Weigh More Now Than When I Got Approved For Surgery!

[can 0]

I am getting really really down. I cant believe summer is here, and I havent lost a single pound. I go in for my fourth fill in a few weeks, and I have lost nothing. I feel like I am making better choices, and eating alittle less, but I feel NO restriction. The only difference I see is that my food hurts me on the way down if I dont chew it well enough, and I cant drink while I eat (WHICH I HATE!!!!) OH! And I cant vomit!!!! Which is terrible!!!! I have had a sick tummy once or twice since the surgery ( January 24) and I am unable to vomit!!!! To say that I am sad is an understatment. I feel like going into hiding.

If you're not keeping track of your calories and Protein intake, I would suggest doing so for awhile to see how much you're eating and where you should make some changes. When you're logging what you eat you're much more apt to hold yourself accountable, too.

If food is uncountable going down it sounds line you have restriction to me.

I accidently hit post.. .anyway, just keep doing what your doing but learn to listen to your body and the signals you g et from your band. If it hurts going down, try smaller bites and chew chew chew. I have never experienced full like I did before being banded, its totally different and hard to explain. As soon ad I get the hiccups or I feel pressure in my pouch, I stop eating and am satisfied. It took me a while to get that and to lose. Hang in there, y can do this!
