Hi everyone. so i was wondering if anyone else has been having my problem. today starts my second week on real food so im fairly new to my band. but anyway randomly ill take a bite or two of my meal and i get so nauseous (gagged a few times never puked) I'm wondering why this happens. it doesnt happen everytime i eat something. does it have to do with it being the first thing i've eaten in the day? thanks

thanks supernurseD! yeah everyone does seem very nice i'm glad i joined.

yeah i wasnt afraid of the surgery oddly. i knew it just had to be done. today ends my second week after surgery. thats what i dont get is why now im afraid. but i'm sure itll work out.. hopefully.

thanks hummingbird and mis73 for the encouragement. yeah i also have over 200 to lose. but yup.. i just need to be super hard core from now on. i know itll be worth it.. but why am i feeling so fearful... idk its just all new i guess.. like how (cliche i know... but) it really is the first day of the rest of my life and just not knowing is freaking me out. Panic-ing aside it's good to know people have gone through the same struggles as me

well im glad to hear what i'm feeling about not being full is normal. i just wish i didnt have to wait for a fill!!! how many fills did it take you till you were at the right point? it seems like 4.9 is alot compared to what i've heard from others. Did you start out losing pretty slow too? yeah thats what i was afraid to hear about the port, but i guess ill worry about it once i get to that point. thanks!

Hi everyone. Im amy. I'm 21 years old and i just recently got my band. I've now been on regular foods for a week. I've lost roughly 6 lbs since my surgery. I know it's going to go slowly, but i feel like i should have lost more than that by now. idk. but anyway. I'm curious about a few things.. What type of diets are you on? i'm on a "no" carb diet and will only go to a balanced diet after i'm at my goal. is that what you all are doing too? Also even though i can tell a difference with my band with no fill, i can still eat quite a bit with out any consequence (pressure, etc) .. is this normal for people to feel this way before you get a fill? Another thing i'm worried about is my port is kind of noticeable.. at least to me, when i lose more n more weight will it stick out even more?? responses are much appreciated!! thanks!
