I agree with Floridays and go with a slight unfill. If you are vomiting on a regular basis and food is getting stuck, you're too tight. If food is sticking in your Esophagus I would think that would make you slime. Keep us posted on what the Dr says!

yep, what everybody else said! Everyday will get better and better, promise!

That is sweet! My daughter is 27, she thought it was b/c I was hungry. My daughter is very straight, thank goodness! lol

Here we can see surgeon without referral letter, but when all our paperwork gets sent to insurance for approval, there has to be a letter of approval from PCP included. At least that's how it worked out for me.

Congratulations on passing the PCP hurdle! I had the same experience with my PCP. Like you said, he lit up and told me the same thing about having other patients that are doing well with it. Also said me dying from morbid obesity is a greater risk than having LBS. So you're on your way, enjoy the journey to better health!

You are too sweet!

Do you like shrimp or fish great source of protein 3oz 18gr. Morningstar grillers 1 patty 14gr Solid White albacore tuna 2oz 15 gr Throw an egg with tuna and get another 9 gr.

Not that you directed the questions to me, but thought I'd let you know that Protein shakes are good for hunger at this time. I got 3cc in an empty band.

Welcome! I'm glad you're back being excited. You'll find great support, loads of knowledge & unbelievable inspiration here. Glad to have you and any questions, just ask. No dumb questions here. Best wishes on your journey!

All I can say about your blog is, ain't that the truth! I told my surgeon "I'm an expert on losing weight".lol I wish you great success on your LB journey!

I didn't know for awhile. It wasn't really important to know. I finally asked one day, just b/c everyone else seem to want to know.

Yes, very normal. My daughter kept saying "what is that noise"

Let us know what happens. Your protein is very important. Good Luck with fill!

Every Dr is different. I had 30 days of full liquids.

LOL, I posted this same thing on my status update. It is a big deal. Congratulations!

I regularly eat Sugar free chocolate pudding. Jello brand better than Snackpac IMO Also diet Swiss Miss hot chocolate with Splenda added. Works for me, maybe you can fool Aunt Flo.lol

I had an early appt so I didn't eat.

Glad you like your new Dr! Best wishes on your journey!

I would call your surgeon and give them a heads up. You do not want surgery and start hurling from the flu. Best Wishes! Get well little man!

Congratulations on first fill! My Dr said liquid 48hrs and then regular diet, but I did do mushies for a couple days. I'm stomach got mad for awhile.

Hey Dude where you been? Had my first fill end of Nov. 3cc in 10cc band. It hasn't changed anything on what I can & cannot eat. Still stick to 1cup of food, protein first & drinking a lot of water. At my 6wk visit I have lost 36lbs and Dr said it was all me b/c band wasn't restrictive yet, but promised it would be soon. Scheduled for 2nd fill Jan 6. Dr also told me on average restriction comes between 4 & 7.5cc

It's funny I never got the unbelievable shoulder gas pain after surgery, that everyone talks about. But when I'm eating and get a twinge, do not take another bite or time for heating pad.lol

Thanks GF! There's a season for all things! Time, chance & prayer. Lots&lot's of prayer! Have a great week!
