Starving...

So I haven't had no food no protein shakes in 2(two) whole days. I had a fill Tuesday and I guess my band is too tight now, because I can't keep no liquids down. So today I go back to get a little of this fluid taken out.

  • Soungs like you're doing the right thing. I had a fill a little over a week ago and I haven't been hungry since. I can drink and eat I just haven't felt the want to. You know your body best and its no

  • that's how it has been for me, for well over 2 years now....the band controls my hunger 24 hrs/day, NOT by making me feel full, or restricting the ability to eat....it's just that the lack to need to.

  • Right if I could at least drink water and my protein shake I'll be fine. I can't even take my important medicine that I suppose to take daily . My blood sugar be dropping because I'm not consuming any

Soungs like you're doing the right thing. I had a fill a little over a week ago and I haven't been hungry since. I can drink and eat I just haven't felt the want to. You know your body best and its not good if you're starving and can't keep fluids down. I know it takes some time for the swelling to go down after a fill and I would say to wait it out if you could, but no fluids and you'll get dehydrated and that will cause some serious issues. Let us know how things go!

that's how it has been for me, for well over 2 years now....the band controls my hunger 24 hrs/day, NOT by making me feel full, or restricting the ability to eat....it's just that the lack to need to...no interest or overwhelming desire....

I believe the mere presence of the band, properly adjusted, tells my brain I'm full, therefore I have no need to eat, even though I have not physically done so, and have no physical feeling of being full.....it took a while to figure out what was going on, but once I did it has been heaven!!

The band is there 24hrs a day, so the signals to my brain are there 24 hrs a day....

I eat because I know I have to, but sometimes I just don't want to continue....

I am glad that you realized you are too tight! I hope that this unfill will be what works!
