I am beyond worried sick.

I was banded on march 31st..lost a lot during my first month, then got a fill and somehow started binge eating. I havent seen my doctor since april 28. I've been eating everything I set my eyes on. 4 days ago, I got my period, and i've been getting pangs in my side where the port is. I don't know if this is related to the port and period or the humongous amount of food I've been eating :S

I'm in tears. I regret the binging i've been doing I dont know what to do.

Call your doc now!!! The pangs may be nothing, but it may be something, and better safe then sorry!!!!

About your binge eating, from what I have heard it may take a while to get the proper restriction. Don't give up yet, go outside and take a walk at a park, or put on some of your favorite music and dance by yourself, something to make you feel good! Good luck!! Our prayers are with you!!! :cursing:

i was banded on 04/21/08 and lost 14 pounds during the first month. i had a fill on 05/19/08 and instead of feeling any restriction i felt more hungry than i did before my first fill. i even gained 2 pounds back! i called my doctor and have another fill scheduled for this weekend.

this might not come out right but... enjoy your binging while you can because once you're restricted you won't be able to binge unless you like vomiting all the time. i'm a binge eater too so i know what you're going through!!

I was banded April 1. 16 lbs lost before my first fill on May 8. 1cc put into a 9.75 band. I have lost oly 3 more pounds. I am going for fill # 2 on the 12th. I too have been binge eating. I ate Golded Grahams dry with no milk and not any problems. I really try and at least grab something fat free or sugar free or at least low cal or protien choices. I feel terrible about it. I have also been getting my period on time since I was banded. Olny good news is that I havent put the lost weight back on.

lately I have this sudden urge to binge as well. at first I thought that the new medications i am taking is causing me to have this urge to just eat everything i sight. I went back to when this binging pattern started and discovered that the protein drink i switched is making me feel this way. I went back to the protein drink that I originally started with through this journey and I haven't even thought of eating everything in my sight since I switched again. just a suggestion, maybe there is an ingredient in a food that you are eating that is making you want to eat. I had this problem with wheat too. I don't eat wheat anymore. good luck and hope you feel better.

Thank you all :thumbup:

I have an appointment on the 9th to check. I think I put on all the weight I lost. I somehow feel heavy I don't know..

Do any of u use pills to make u feel less hungry? And the Protein drink that u mentioned bratz, which one is it?

The protein drink that I can tolerate it the "kirkland, weight loss" drink. The one I do use since I had surgery is "EAS".

sorry mistake.... the kirkland brand I cannot tolerate.

Go get a fill right away. That will help
