Sometimes I can eat tons sometimes nothing



Recommended Posts

Hi, I noticed there are times of the day, usually lunch time that I can eat tremendous amounts of food for a person with a lap band and other times of the day, I feel sick on almost nothing. I am not losing weight. Does this happen to others? I'm wondering if I need another fill, but worry since I can almost never eat dinner.< /p>

Jaylow,

Can I get some more information?

When were you banded?

What are you eating?

When was your last fill?

It could be a lot of things - I'll try to help if I can. Just need some more info.

my guess is that in the morning is "nothing" and in the evening is the "tons" that is normal. Gravity makes everything (including your pouch below your band) sag or loosen up. After lying down all night fluids find their normal place and your pouch is taking up more space in your band.

Drink warm liquids in morning to help relax pouch faster.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
