Trouble Eating??



Recommended Posts

Hi! I've had my lap band for about a year and a half now. I had a really bad start but am finally back on my feet with losing weight. I had my last fill in July. I have some days when i can eat and drink totally fine, and then most days when I can barely get anything down. The past couple of days, I've been throwing up anything I try to even drink. I keep thinking that maybe there's too much Fluid in my band. I take between 30 and 60 minutes with each meal and I chew until my food is practically liquid. Does anyone else have this problem? Any advice on what it could be and what I should do about it?? It really concerns me that I'll get dehydrated since I can't even keep liquids down ... Any help and advice would be appreciated. Thanks!!

It sure sounds like you need an unfill. You should be able to eat every day. Yes, there are days that I am tighter than others but for the most part I can eat. What you are experiencing is not how it shoudl be. You should be able to eat more days than not...many more days. Try a slight unfill. Good luck!

I think you may be overfilled. Never eat for an hour, the stomach dumps out every 20-25 minutes and you can seriously overeat. If it is taking that long to get down your usual portion it is time for an unfill.

Ditto to all of the above. You sound like you are too tight and that is not good!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
