Oh trust me I refuse to eat anything remotely solid until this starts feeling better. However I had no idea people had a hard time with hard boiled eggs? That is the first time I have heard that. I am miserable but after drinking some hot water slowly I feel lime it might be loosening enough to actually get some milk or even broth down.

I had a 3rd fill Thursday. I followed the rules and was fine Friday and Saturday. I had a small stuck episode Saturday (yesterday) at lunch but after time it passed and I was even able to eat a few bites of dinner in the evening. This morning I tried eating a deviled egg (which I had one last night) but the eggs were really cold this morning and I didn't chew very well because I have sensitive teeth. Instantly I was stuck. I was so bad I ended up having to vomit. Afterwards I was still pretty miserable so I didn't try any drinks even. But now its been about 5-6 hours and I just tried drinking some milk and I am feeling stuck like it won't go down. I took a small sip. It wasn't even a gulp. Am I just swollen or did I slip? I have no pain inside.

With some rest the pain went away. I must have just pulled those muscles.

I have a call in, just waiting for a call back. I did change the height of my chair yesterday and I have been sitting more directly with more pressure on that part of my stomach. I believe that to be the issue but I am not sure. And yes I am just over 7 months out of surgery. It feels almost as bad as just after surgery during the healing process. When I lean back for a while and stop putting so much forward pressure on the stomach it feels better.

Has anyone else experienced pain where their port is located??? I am a secretary so I have a sit down job. I try to get up and walk as much as possible but I definitely sit most of the work day. The last two days I have had a big typing job to do so I have been sitting more straight and I must be putting more pressure on more port. I am so much pain it feels almost as bad as when I had the surgery. I am not sure if this is a normal feeling but this pain is even making me feel nauseous. I have 2 hours left in my work day and I am not sure how I will make it through. Am I the only one???

I actually gained a total of 8 pounds back. Life is starting to calm down and we have been trying to walk and just did some healthier grocery shopping. Hopefully I can get back on track. My husband is starting to understand better how he can support me and I feel like things might pick back up with losing. We shall see.

Thank you all for the advice and encouragment. I really do need to get back on track with my diet and get more motivated. I really keep telling my husband to help push me more and I think I am going to suggest exercising together. I really hope I can get back to losing instead of staying the same! Thanks

I am so frustrated it's not even funny! I spent all of this money for this surgery... went through all of the pain and all of the new life changes and yet I am struggling with my weight loss. I have had two adjustments and currently at 5cc in a 10 cc band... I really just want to be in the green zone but unless i can pick my weight loss up my surgeon won't do another fill. Part of the problem is that for the last 4 months my life has been in utter chaos. I seemed to lose the most weight just after surgery. I hate going to my follow up appointments because I feel like such a disappointment to myself and to the surgeons. I just cant stand how terrible I am doing. I would be happy with 1lb a month even but I literally have not lost a pound since October. My weight goes down 4 then back up 4 every single week it's the exact same. I cannot get it to stay down and keep going down. I know my eating habits are getting terrible again and part of that is because I have a hard time finding foods that I like that I can make easy. BLAHHHH I guess i just needed to vent.

I am 25 my husband is 23... my parents were 23 & 25 when they had me so I guess I see from their view it worked out great...

Yeah I think the clock ticking is an issue. Ever since I was a little girl I had wanted to have my family started by 23 just like my mom did... well I am 25 now and going on 26. I have always told myself I do not want to have kids after 30 so I feel like I am getting too close to that window. Maybe that is part of my wanting to rush it. I did tell my husband last night that I might need to be selfish and just wait... I really don't want to but I feel like it's the right choice.

25 and my husband is 23.... we will be 26 & 24 in sept/oct

Yeah I really would like to hit my one year goal and then let the chips fall where they may. Its just difficult when we are buying a home and getting settled in and we both are so ready to start a family... who knew it would all play out this way but it did and now I feel tormented between what I want and what I need. I am sure I will wait but it will not be easy. Plus with my husbands job now is the perfect time to conceive because he will be home when the baby is born all through next winter but timing wise if we tried around my one year mark he wouldn't be.... so it means we are actually waiting a year and a half from surgery and a year from now before we can even start trying.... and who knows if I will even conceive when we need to especially if we are adding the extra pressure.... Do you all see why I am so confused.... my brain is on overload :/

I hate to hear it but I know its right... its just very tough.

I hate to hear that but I know its right. Just tough.
