Hi, I had a fill 7/18/13 just .25 and everything was good. I had an upper GI yesterday & now I can't keep anything down. Should I wait to see if I'm just irritated or is the band too tight?

This is the way I felt when I could tie my shoes for the first time with out feeling like I was going to pass out!! Great job!! Keep up the good work! Rachel

I was banded 12/30/10 and had a headache for the first two weeks. I did some research & found out that there is a nerve that is attached to your stomach that runs straight to the back of your head & when the band is placed it bothers this nerve until it get's used to having the band lay a crossed it. I don't know how factual it is but I found it in a few articles & after two weeks the every day headaches went away not I only have them if I don't have enough Protein. P

Thank you for all your ideas & support. I'm going to try the extra calories & lay off working out for a day or two. I have also increased my protein & that made me go down a lbs this morning yahoo!! Good luck to you all & I'll let you know how it goes after a week or two!

About 950-1100 and walking everyday for about 30 mins

Hi, I was banded 12/30/10 and have lost a total of 28.5 lbs as of today but in all 30lbs. I keep going up & down 2-3 lbs but never lower. Do I need to lessen my calorie intake or change foods? Any ideas out there?? Thanks Prin

Ok so I just had my first fill last Fri. All is good but I have to fill in two spaces with Snacks 9 am and 3 pm . I'm clueless what a good snack would be. What do think is a good choice? I have had no bad food reactions yet but I'm staying away from rice & bread. Thanks P.

Hi there! I did have this problem too. The first two weeks I swear it was a half an A cup boob but now that I'm over a month along & am happy to say I'm back to just two boobs & the swelling is completely gone.

Also, you have to remember that the first month is all about healing so be excited about those 17 lbs!! You followed the rules & look what you've done! I get my first fill this monday too so I want to hear back the difference it makes!!

Thank you that helps I'm kinda tired of chicken lol

Sashimi is the normal sushi but no rice it's just the fish. I bought a ahi tuna steak & food processed it with one packet of low sodium soy sauce & cottage cheese. It was yummy but I don't want to be filling up on unbenefical foods.

So I'm 3 weeks post op and in the mushy food part of my diet. I'm a big sushi eater or was so I was wondering if sashimi would be ok to eat? I've been blending all my food in to a paste so texture isn't an issue. I've lost 18lbs so far so I don't want to mess it up. Also, Is there a higher Protein fish? Thanks P.

It's great to see such progress. It gives me hope. Good luck!!

Hello All! I was banded 12/30/10. My starting weight 246.5 today's weight 229.5. I can't wait for my first adj. This is easier now to say but it really wasn't that bad of a first two weeks. Wish me luck!! Prin
