Streched Pouch...



Recommended Posts

I have the 10cc band and I only have 1.2cc I don't think I am too tight but I am actually just right. Everyone is definitely different in the amount they need. I wouldn't want anymore Fluid in mine.

I am kind of experiencing the same things that you are experiencing Rich. I agree, it is weird, I throw up more than I should, not everyday, but enough. Sometimes, my band is so tight feeling that I can't get a smoothy down without feeling like it will get stuck. It is the strangest thing because then i can eat an entire turkey burger. I know I am not at the green zone, but I don't know what the green zone is supposed to feel like.

Ok, I have no idea what a green zone is. Also, I have no idea what cc my band is. All I know is I have 4cc in and couldn't keep Water down with 5cc. Could someone please tell me what the green zone people are talking about. It sucks cause my wife... or ex wife now took care of all this and now that we are done I have no clue on what I am supposed to do. I know... sad. I don't know what to eat, what pills to take, how often to eat... what to eat, when to eat. All I do is eat what stays down and eat till i am full (which seems to be a lot at times).

The Green Zone is when you have adequate Fluid in your band so your hunger is controlled yet you can still eat healthy meals without a problem.

I'm so sorry you're going through all this. I think it's really important you educate yourself on your band. Go see and talk to your doctor and also go see your nutritionist. It's crucial for you to be successful with your band.

If you focus on results, you will never change. If you focus on change, you will get results. We can't talk ourselves out of what we behaved ourselves into so why try. We go fat for a reason. Eating the wrong foods in quantities we're ashamed of. The answer is simple but its such a hard task- change. You have to change what your eating.

Insanity = doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

i agree with missy and cheryl and love and donna

throwing up is NOT good and it (sounds as if you are too tight)..but i am not a doctor...but eating chips/dip is not the way to lose weight in my opinion

i see nothing of you eating veggies/fruit or lean filling Protein but cheap slider/processed foods..just because one can eat more than they are suppose to (in my case my dr advised about 1 cup of food)....does not mean they should....def go to your dr and advise them of what is going on and let them help you...problems can arise later on...hang in there okay

CG girl, I know its not good but I've been battling bronchitis for 2 1/2 weeks and with that I've been tight and I think it was Sunday or Monday heck I dunno when I ate that but the BBQ got stuck lo and behold and I do have to blame it on a too big of a bite most likely and being tight from nasal drainage and coughing and game was on with being stuck and then I lost it, puked my guts up till I peed. yep I said it.

Man up dude and take responsibility for your own health. See the doctor, see the nutritionist, repeat the seminars. This is your life. Take care of yourself. Own it and learn what you need to know! This is a personal journey and only you know what feels right for you!

I agree with you Cheznoel. My ex took care of it all and I need to do that now. Thank you all so much, you all have been a huge help and I know I need to get in to my Doctor ASAP.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
