I never thought of that! I thought I wasn't too tight because after eating the ice cream I was able to eat whatever I wanted, but the coldness reducing the inflammation sure does make sense now! Also, I have been having sharp pains around my port area could that be a cause from the tightness?

Okay, so my one year anniversary on my band was on August 8th, I was doing so good for about the first 6-7 months and now I am doing horrible! I have gained about 13lbs back but I don't think I need a fill because in the mornings I can barely get down my hot tea without it getting stuck. I can never eat until 8pm or later and then I just indulge because i don't know the next time I will be able to eat. My last fill was in June and I am still gaining. I don't get it?! Also, when I eat I usually try to lay down on my side because sitting up to eat is so uncomfortable and I can't get more than a bite unless I eat ice cream before my meal and sometimes the ice cream gets stuck. Can someone please help!! Thanks

Thanks everyone so much for all of your advice!! It really means a lot. I will keep everyone updated

Late night eating is one of my horrible habits. I serve/bartend so my dinner isn't until 11ish at night. I need to stop that. Hopefully that will help. Thanks!!

So today is my one year from surgery. I am down about 65lbs but the last 3-4 months I haven't lost anything!! I know that I don't need a fill bc I tend to get stuck more often than not but I am still not losing! In the mornings I find myself not being able to keep a sip of water down on days. Also, I have good days where I can eat without anything getting stuck and some others are horrible where everything gets stuck. Any advice?!

I love to workout as soon as I wake up in the morning. However, I can never eat as soon as I wake up or drink anything because of things getting stuck. So I'm usually heading to the gym on an empty stomach. Any advice?!
