Frustration

Hello all!!

Ok so I have lost now 50lbs since my surgery 6months ago!! I am very excited about that!!! Now my issues that I need answers to.. I got my 2nd fill in Feb..it was to tight so she took out .5cc and it was an immediate relief!!! Recently the band has felt tighter..some days I can eat more than others, most days I take a small bite or 2 and thats it..Many of times I feel stuck and awkard and it either comes up or goes down.. I am not eating forbidden food..sometimes cottage cheese or eggs do this.. I am feeling hungry a lot .. my other issue is I cannot for the life of me stop drinking when I eat. I feel as though as soon as I eat I realize how thirsty I am and that is just an awful slimy painfull mess!!! Is there any I can stop myself or some trick anyone else has that works? If I drink before a meal I feel to full.. I am just frustrated.. I think it is mental hunger that wants to eat but I physically can't. All I eat is Protein foods, veggies don't go down well most days and forget any kind of carby stuff..

Also I get nauseated feeling throughout the day..can the band cause this?

thank you for any advice!!!

I am also cancelling my fill appointment this week...there is no way I want to be tighter!!!

I am wondering if you are still too tight. The drinking thing is just a habit you need to get into. Drink 30-45 mins before your meal...so it takes some planning. I think everyone has times, foods, days when they are tighter than others, but if it's happening all the time, I'd say you might be too tight still. You might want to go to your appt and discuss this with your doc and get some educated help in making your decision. Good luck!

Thank you.. I Thought of going in but my surgeon will tell me to go on liquids for as long as I need and I really do not want to.. WHen I went in for an unfill she was like um..if food is getting stuck than WHY are you eating??!! I was like um...cuz my brain is telling me I AM STARVING and I am addicted to food which got me here in the first place!!! She really did not want to unfill last time and will not this time unless I do liguids first and I have issues with that because the shakes tear my tummy and bowels up like the devils himself spawned something in there and makes me miserable... I will consider going in.. just have to be prepared for her lecture.. she loves my weightloss and said i am doing great!! but I am still frustrated!
