Skyvic

I would talk to your doc if it doesn't go away in next 24 hours. Are Mayra sick will need you to come in as close to 7:00 as canyou getting liquid down?

You know I have had some virus this week with throat sore and drainage. This has been a soup and soft food week for me. My band does feel tighter and my priority right now is to stay hydrated. I hope you feel better soon. Banded since 2010 dec...colds for me do restrict a bit.

To me, this was the very reason I needed to go slow with my fills...so I didn't have to experience throwing up. I needed to really listen to my body after each fill or adjustment. It gave me time to understand how my body would respond. I have learned to chew better, take smaller bites, carefully know the textures that work for me and what I tolerate as my fills make the band tighter. I also know that illness, drainage, periods, stress, travel, time of day...all make my band feel more restricted. It's been 19 months and I am learning to slow my life down for eating. Making good choices are definitely my priority. But I have had throwing up experiences in which I had to really problem solve why it occurred. Do talk with your doctor and nutritionist because this should be a more pleasant experience:) best wishes

I did cream of wheat just soupy.

I'm in green zone but try to shoot for 1,000. Calories but most of time between 800-900 calories.

I'm the slow turtle too...but still winning the race. Surgery Dec, 2011... 268 size 24. Now I'm size 12...down to 175. Yes very slow but my second year of fills have been the most successful to me.

I sound stupid, but what is a spammer? I thought you had to sign up on this forum.

I never thought I would get used to not drinking with my meal but it works...if u need a tiny sip do so. The one thing I have to remind myself is to drink at all other times!!!!

Sounds like an unfill is needed. The first two weeks are tough for me, but if liquids are having trouble going down that means its too tight. Causes you to eat slider foods, creamed soups, soft food that may but be the best choice (although I bet it's the best choice for what you are feeling). I would call your doc:)

I have extra large and large scrubs to get ready for anyone. I need mediums.

Amazing little victories for many but huge accomplishments for those who have struggled in the same ways. Monumental!!!!!!! Congrats!

Welcome you will love this!!! Such positive support.

Yay!!!!! Can't wait to get to goal...25 pounds to go and somewhat a struggle, I need to remind myself that it is truly a journey that can't always be rushed to make it right.

In mourning...subway sandwiches, a huge cheeseburger, a thick sirloin steak, pizza, bagels and doughnuts, hmmm I could go on and on. But, in the midst of mourning I am celebrating life!!!!! Walking and running, bending to tie my shoes, pulling myself out of a bath tub, riding in amusement rides, hiking and climbing, swimming at a public pool. So it's a small sacrifice that yummy food.

Isopure zero carb beverage it's not a shake it's like crystal light. I get it at GNC but you can get it on Amazon too. It has 40 gms whey isolate protein. Saves me.

What an accomplishment!!!!

Small bunless cheeseburger with avocado, cantaloupe pieces, and some green beans.

Yep it feels nice not to be hungry but make sure you ate getting enough vitamins, protein, and especially hydration. When all is going good line it sounds...we tend to forget to eat or drink. I did and ended up with a raging UTI infection from not hydrating enough. I think my body immunities were lowered from lack of eating and drinking on top of that I was exercising, working hard, and staying way too busy. I have to really pay attention when I'm in green zone and losing.

I started running intervals in June. 190...I have to go slow. Walk then start up again. I'm at 176 and can run a little longer but still do intervals of walking.

Oops age...45 this month on Sept. 27

Try it again:) life lessons learned you sound like you have the desire and drive to go for it, you know the rules, trials, and errors. I think maybe there is more support about lapband, too.

All my scars gone but the port. Maybe some of that scar makeup. Not sure what it's called but it's supposed to cover up spider veins too.

I know it seems like forever but before you know it that weight will come off. I started in size 24...down to a 12, I wanted to go slower to accept this life change, wasn't sure if I could do this...so I had conservative fills. Just keep your eye on the prize:)

Tonite I tried a hamburger cooked less than usual to keep it softer...hamburger did fine until the last couple of bites...I even chewed smaller bites:( But, I also was lying down watching T.V. Everything I do this then get up to eat, my band is tight...hard for things to go down. I haven't had any problems for a good week. I've also been sick this week, not drinking as well. Many of things can contribute to food not going down well, for me sometimes it's chewing or too big of bites.
