What is wrong with me???

I was told that I have a 12 cc band.  It was filled to 10 and the barium was backing up on the fluro.  So they said that I would get GERD if I left it in.  So I backed it off to 8.  Yes this all to do I am told with what I eat.  I still rarely feel full.  I rarely feel the band's restricion.  I feel the same way I used to.  I feel like I went through all of this for nothing.  it is back to the same old thing, diet and exercise.   I have a very sedimentary job, I work nights so eating is hard.  I can not leave my desk, so that is hard too.  8 hours of constant sitting. I am about ready to say forget it.  Chalk it up to yet another attempt that has failed.  Lord know I have had so many of those I can not count! Judi

I am sorry, I thought this was the Lap Band board.

Oh Judi,
I don't blame you for feeling frustrated. Is there a nutritionist at your docs office that you could talk to? They can sometimes help. How about any support groups that you can go to? I wish I could help more. Don't give up though. I guess I'd suggest calling your doc's office and asking for some help. The follow-up care is very important with the band. Good luck! Jean B.

I agree with Jean....there's something wrong here. You should feel satiated, not necessarily "full" on 1 cup of food, meaning mostly solid protein and some vegies. There should literally be no more room in your pouch for more food, even if your head says to eat it. When that happens, PBs, sliming, etc. The band kicks back! Don't give up  on the band yet. Please just cut and paste your post from this morning and bring it to the lapband board for more suggestions.
