The key is anything but food. But Rejoicing works for me! That and sharing the event with hubby or friends.

What is your BMI? Maybe he just wanted you to feel better? It is important in my opinion to have a good relationship with the surgeon. If your makes you uncomfortable, may try a different doctor in the practice? Just a thought! Good luck!

I agree, time for a checkup with both the doctor and the nutritionist. They can help! Good Luck!

Well... the gold standard is Phosphate soda. It tastes nasty by it does work. It comes in a small bottle OTC and you mix with water and drink it. If that does not help, contact your doctor to see about an enema.

Go get it out and feel better.

I would ask for a fill with fluoro.... the hunt and peck method sounds barbaric! Good Luck!

Prayers for you both.

Good Luck and try not to worry!

If you get stuck all the time, get an unfill! If you are not restricted you must be eating slider foods. Time for a chat with th Doc and Nutritionist.

Buy a book about lapband surgery, On the Bandwagon, or the one advertised here and read it cover to cover. Go to the presurgery forums and start there and progress your way through. Best advise is learn as much as possible before the surgery. Does your doctor offer seminars? If so, GO! Good luck!

Are you post op? How much fill do you have. There is nothing I cannot eat with proper chewing. Do you eat fish? Cod and halibut are good as is salmon and tuna. Other cooked vegetables should work... squash, green Beans, lima beans, collard greens, etc. chicken salad with LF mayo or greek yogurt. I you are choking on everything you need to call your doctor for a consult and possible unfill. Good Luck!

Thanks for the tips.

Try adding unflavored protein powder to broths. You can also add other spices you like to break up the sweet. Sip water all the time.

If you are compliant you can definitely restart the process. Are you exercising. If not, start slow. Walk to the end of your driveway, move up to the nearest corner, etc. Also I would recommend you log your food in a tool like My Fitness Pal. Best wishes to you!

I would recommend both aerobic and weight training combined for changing body shape. That said not everyone will be able to lose the spare tire in the middle without a tummy tuck. It depends on age amount of stretch tissue, etc. I wish you best. It was Tummy Tuck for me.

Chapstick!

It is either gas pain or vagus nerve referred pain. Guess you now know when to stop eating. :LOL... before the pain!

Many people have the band with no fills, some are hungry, one in particular has lost 118 pounds. We are all different. Work with surgeon to find the right fill for you!

The Vagus nerve is affected.

if you had a recent fill, it sounds like you are over filled.

Looking great! Keep up the good work!
