Doughy bread is bad. Tortillas or wraps as well. You'd think a wrap would be good, but it's just bad lol!

Lmao that's too funny!!

I went away shortly after being banded too and soup was my best friend! I agree though, avoid the potatoes! Try to stay relaxed too. I notice if I'm anxious about food, I'm more likely to get stuck. Take a deep breath and enjoy the company! I usually eat something before I go out and then order a cup of soup and water or iced tea (no straw) and pick at the food. I go out now to socialize and the food is secondary.

I can't believe it! Lol! I started taking zyrtec and some micinex and using the netipot. I can't believe what a difference it's made! I'm so relieved that it's not a serious issue too! I was so worried about losing my band! 

My son did that to me about 2-3 weeks post op. I thought for sure there was something dislodged, but the dr said everything was in the right spot! I was sore for a few days, but back to normal soon after. Good luck!

Wow! Great job! I was on vacation and realized that most of what I packed was too big. I ran in to Fashion Bug to get a pair of shorts and as I entered the sales lady asked if I was looking for anything in particular. I told her I needed a pair of shorts and she said "well your looking in the plus sized section, you'll need to look over here" and gestured toward the "regular" sizes. I was shocked and she was right! The 14s fit perfect! It's weird that I didn't recognize how much I've lost until that moment! Yay!

Oh yeah, I've been eating normally since then too! That's why I'm so excited!

Thank you all for your responses. I saw my surgeon on Tuesday and he sent me to have an ultrasound on my gall bladder and scheduled an endoscopy, which I had yesterday. My gall bladder is normal, no stones or anything and he said everything looks good with the endoscopy too, but I had a lot of mucus. I don't know if he just pushed it through or sucked it out, but I was starving by midday yesterday and I was not in my right mind and I just ate some crackers and I kept them down! I have no idea how or why this is happening, but I'm so happy! If it really is because of all of the mucus that was in there then I will need to make sure I don't get so filled up again. My husband got me a neti pot, zyrtec and mucinex to try. I did try the neti pot last night, but I haven't tried the others. Could all of this be caused by some stuck mucus?? I can't wait see me dr for my follow up!

Hi all! Just wanted to give an update. I saw my psychologist and he doesn't think this is a mental thing. I have an appointment with my surgeon on Tuesday, so hopefully he can figure out what is going on. I'm still on liquids only, although, today was a really good day and I had some yogurt and a medifast shake! I was so excited! I'll update again after I see the surgeon. Thank you all for your advice and support!

Thank you so much! I will schedule an appointment with my psychologist as well. I haven't even considered that as an option. Thanks for the link as well. I'll look at it now!

I can't keep any solid food down, not yogurt, pudding, nothing... Ugh! I don't feel like the dr is leaving me high and dry, not yet anyways. They will have to do something because I can't live like this forever!

They first thought my allergies were the cause. I have never experienced vomiting from allergies, but I figured they know what they are doing. They seem kind of confused now too. They thought I'd feel better after the unfill, but it brought no relief. I had been on a liquid diet for weeks, so when they called to give me the results of my upper GI they said to try to eat something solid. So I made tilapia for dinner, I was able to tolerate it before and it's soft so I figured it was a good "first meal". I'm supposed to call them tomorrow and report my intolerance and schedule an appointment with my surgeon. Thanks for the story about Mandy. I hope I don't have an infection! I don't feel sick in any other way, but who knows! Thanks for your quick responses!!

Hi all. About 6 weeks ago I noticed out of nowhere that my band was too tight. I had an unfill and after 2 weeks was still too tight. Went in for another unfill and they completely drained my band. I had an upper GI series on Monday that showed my band has not slipped. I still can't tolerate even the smallest solid food. has anyone one had this problem? The dr said I should be able to eat like I don't have a band (I obviously don't want to lol!) but after 2-3 tiny bites of baked tilapia I'm in the bathroom heaving. I don't know what to do! Thanks for you help!
