How can it get too tight after a few mos?

I can keep some down for awhile. Do best with ice......... What could cause this all of a sudden?

Banded 11/2012. Last fill 5/2013 and no problems until abt two wks ago. Always feels like there is mucus in my throat and seem to slime a lot. Now I have thrown up in my sleep as well as throwing up hard after I eat anything solid. Cannot even do more than sip Water. Takes hours to drink a bottled Protein Shake and most times I spit it up a little at a Time until it is all back up. Any ideas on the problem. I do have an apptmt with dr but I am pretty worried right now. Hope haven't. Messed up my band or esophagus.

Thanks to u all...dr thinks all of the coughing has aggravated my stomach. Taking Mylanta today if no better tomorrow he will see me n the office....

It worked!! Back to normal!

Thanks It is just weird. Hoping maybe the band is just irritated/swollen or something simple like that

Hi. Not sure how to do this so I hope my question posts. I was banded 11/28/12

I have had severe bronchitis - coughing severely for almost a week.

For the past two days I cannot keep anything down-sliming I guess u call it. Has anyone ever had problems with the band after coughing really hard for a period of time. I have a call into my Dr but am anxious to know if anyone else has had this. I don't have pain except for a stuck feeling. Thanks for any help

Shady2121-what is it called? I think I would like to try it.

Daisy chain sorry I haven't seen a lot of your posts but you seem to have good advice for us newbies too....thanks!

Well "hi" or "hit" the spot! Sorry using phone..

Floridays &. Missy ! You two are the best on this forum and always-always lift my spirits and make me stay on track!! I finally started exercising reg and am excited to keep this going. Also Jan 28th will be 2 Mos for me and I am down 30....hope to have another fill in the next 2 weeks and hi that elusive green spot!!

Ps. U both look great !!

Seems that way doesn't it? My sister in law lost over 100 pounds with the band but it took her abt year and a half. I talk myself up and down. I figured if I have lost 28 lbs in 2 mos then 10 mos @ 14 lbs each it would be 140 lbs !! How amazing would that be!!! So let's just keep going even if it seems too slow at the time. Thanks for responding!

So can I get your book on my iPad? How would I do that? Do I have to have a certain amt of memory on my iPad? Technically challenged!

I am 2 mos out and have been trying to weigh and measure-all the dreaded diet stuff. I went into this so happy and eager to do everything just Right. I am only down 28 pounds but most was first month only 2 in last month. I have 2 fills but still don't feel like I have a band. Yesterday I was able to eat a hotdog w/ mustard with no problems besides guilt afterwards. I can still eat anything. My willpower is fading fast. I am going to see if I can get another fill next week even though my last one was jan 17. I do feel some better reading your posts though. I don't really have anyone to talk to. I know I have to do the work and not rely on the band but I just need a little help from it. I am deciding now to go back to protien drinks for a few days and get back on track. Going to start exercising at least every other day. My weight right now is 267.4. I want to keep posting here so you all can help me. I really needed your posts to help me get going again even though u didn't know it! Thank You!!

I need help! Banded 11/28/12 down 25 pounds1st month but nothing for 2 weeks! Not exercising enough I know. Today and yesterday I have ate everything wrong, everything ! Piazza hot fudge cake. Prior to this I was going by the book. I am at 5cc but don't go back to dr until 2-18. At first I had to tell myself when to eat. Now I want to eat just like before the band. Any advice will be good. Could I get a fill sooner? Thanks

Thanks. I will start with the reg food all the time. I am like everybody else afraid to so anything thinking I will gain. I am glad I found this app. Everyone is so supportive. Thanks

Anybody else?

Do u still drink your shakes?

I'm right there with you! I was banded Nov 9' date=' and I'm down 48. My surgeon even skipped my first scheduled fill last week. I know eventually the loss wit ll slow down and ill need a fill but I'm enjoying this while it lasts! Congrats on your loss![/quote']

Do you still drink the Protein shakes?

Also. I have not been hungry but I guess that is because I have still been having at least 2 shakes per day. Feel silly for not knowing I didn't have to keep drinking them. I do know I am supposed to have abt 75 grams of Protein per say unless that was just thru phase 3? I am out if town and did not bring my diet sheets with me. Guess I thought I had it in my mind?

Thank you. Actually. I thought I had to drink the shakes forever. I will def call the office. I must have misunderstood but he didn't tell me to change anything that I remember. But I wa so nervous abt the fill I didn't even ask! Thanks so much!

I has my surgery 11/28 first fill12/18. I have lost 23 pounds but I am not having any of the things others talk abt. Nothing stuck no throwing up no pb. I have not felt too full or anything yet. Is this normal. I have been able to eat all meats etc. I have been having 2-3 shakes per day. Anything u can tell me would be great Thanks
