Four weeks post-op and I'm down 27lbs, this is great but I can't say I'm completely thrilled about the way the weight has come off. In the last 4 weeks I have only been able to keep a few things down. I just started on soft solid foods, however I have decided to stick with liquids a little while longer. It seems like everything I put in my mouth comes right back up. Its really starting to become annoying. Even water, tea, and milk come back up. I get this really thick mucus like saliva that comes up right after I try to drink or eat something. Is this esophagus reflux? I don't have heartburn or anything, and I have never had acid reflux. I not sure what the heck is going on but its really getting on my nerves. I just want eat a little something and not be worried about spitting it back up.

i know a girl who has a near impossible time keeping anything down due to esophageal spasms and she takes valium to counter this before she eats.

id bring this up to your surgeon and see what he/she says.

Call your surgeon NOW! Not to alarm you, but this is NOT normal. Your internal stitches have not healed yet and vomiting anything up (you've got 'sliming' and it's the mucus your esophagus produces) can cause complications with your band at this point. Please call them today and let them know what is going on...you made need a small unfill until you heal. -BG

Thanks guys for the advice. I did see my doctor and he thinks it's still really soon, doesn't think there's anything wrong. Did some blood work, have to go back on April 15th. I must say things have gotten little better, been able to get some food down which is awsome. I'm down 40lbs after 8 weeks I guess I can't be too mad about that. I'll keep chugging along. Good luck to everyone.

    • I’ve used my Xbox for exercise games too and it can be pretty motivating, especially on days when I don’t want to leave the house. Kinect games really do make you move, and after a session with kickboxing or dancing, I always feel like I’ve actually gotten a solid workout. The controller-free setup feels way more natural for workouts than anything I tried on the Wii. Zumba is fun but definitely takes a little time to get the moves right. Lately, when I’m not working out, I spend time trading CS2 skins and finding new guides on this link. There’s a lot of interesting tips if you’re into games outside of fitness too.
