I am sick of food

The other thing I need to remember is that I just started taking Protonix - a reflux med - and it is supposed to help with my esophageal problems. So it may mean that becuase I wasnt taking anything for all this time that was contributing to my problems. And like Nancy said the fact that I wasnt and am not eating the most healthy food - in fact I am eating lots of junk - can also contribute to my esophageal issues. It really is hard to start over and to lose the weight once you've regained it. Wishing you the best. Hope you are feeling a bit better about everything today...

so sorry Carole for all that you are going through. I just read your latest post and see you have a new doctor so hope that he can help. Mine never uses flouro and actually a nurse gives the fills. He also doesn't do x-rays for band placement unless you have concerning symptoms. I have been luckier than you. I have only gotten something stuck and pb'd once. I can eat anything and I do mean anything. SO I can only imagine what you are going through. As for advice - I am with Nancy - get some saline removed. then maybe you can start over. Clearly something is not quite right. good luck, mary

I understand how you feel I only felt that way for about 3weeks after my second fill finally kicked in ..( it also took 3 weeks to really kick in)and during that time,I seemed to lose interest in food and also lost10 pounds in that short period! One day I could eat and the very next day I couldn't, even if it was the same exact thing! that was the only time kind of wish i could get that back about 2 weeks out of every month but not for the entire month! As I am out longer.. I am able to tolerate almost anything, I cannot have a tight fill and have to be very careful because of my esophagus I love my food ...I cook daily and have always enjoyed cooking and home made meals looking up recipes ,exchanging and trying new recipes to me is a way of life I also love to entertain ..and bake alot during the holidays bakle from scratch all my own birthday caeks etc.and have lots of BBQS during the summer months lots of different salads , both hot and cold ,meats .lite desserts and plenty of iced tea! I just can't eat much of it ,but still enjoy it! Getting read to makesome meatballs and gravy early this morning, we have to go out and check on my son's tiny farm and feed and water his chickens and ducks he keeops them for show for the kids . My grandkids are on my profile They look just like their Grandma! they are going to join 4H this year ....OT . We had snow falling yesterday evening!! Did not stick and stayed in the 30s all night but still the snow was pretty to see ..first time it snowed here in 3 years This morning is damp and cold though ...,,, sorry brain fart here , just had to mention the snow. I am thinking you are really too tight and may need some fill out ..if you are not happy and are not enjoying your foods in reasonable amounts ..just does not seem reasonable to feel this way all the time! Take Care ....

I really agree with the other posters and think that removing a very tiny bit of saline would help your problem. Have you had a flouro to see that everything is in the right place--you shouldn't have so many "on" "off" days.
