No I don't eat before bed... At least an hour. And this is WAY worse than acid reflux. I have a high pain tolerance and it's enough to bring me to my knees crying.

Another trip to the ER with extreme stomach pain... No slip no erosion per CT (and EGD a month ago) WBC and LFT slightly elevated but not worrisome. I am so sick of this happening and no one can tell me why!! Ready to get the band out!

Usually it's at night. I go to bed. Can't get comfortable (not cause anything hurts... Just toss n turn) then bam... Nausea and intense pain
I have wracked my brain all day. The only thing I have noticed 2x now it's happened after taking cough med with codiene in it. They also shot me full of hydromorphine at the ER and I got really sick First time I have actually "thrown up" since being banded. (9/3/13)

I was banded 9/3 and have lost about 65 pounds. Working on the last 20. And they are fighting to hold on!!!

I am so glad there are there are other people whose tastes have changed! My dr says there is no reason foods I liked before I won't like now.. My list is easy though.
I'm too chicken to try a sandwich!
Bananas... The smell of them makes me gag
But oh do I miss my bud lite!!! I would love to have a beer! Ice cold... Mmmm.
But when I am really missing something I use to eat I go put on my new jeans... Then my old ones over them!!

Yes. It has happened to me... Pre band life. Your body goes into starvation mode because your not eating enough. It holds onto every calorie you consume. As soon as you increase intake and your metabolism corrects.. The pounds drop.
They aren't crazy.... It's science.

I haven't had an office fill. Just what was done when placed. There was no problem hitting the port or anything traumatic like that.
He does barium swallows in the office and both times it has been fine. Calling tomorrow to see if they think I should come in or not.
I guess if I only have a little added it wont be any worse than before they emptied it.

Working on the hot tea. I'm thinking it is helping calm it down.
Yeah the medical field here really does suck for certain things... Heart attack, stroke, cancer.... They are good.... Weight loss, psych, and general health care....SUCKS. It's a shame too.
I was really relieved I didn't have an erosion when they did the EGD. But another part of me says get this damn thing out of me. I get frustrated when this happens and everyone's response is "what do you expect you weren't made to have that thing"
OMG. I JUST HAD THE BIGGEST BELCH OF MY LIFE....
thank you for being up chatting. Kept my mid busy.

Not in my stomach..... No back pain and no urinary symptoms. They have no idea what it causing it. Called doc. He wants me to come in Monday... Just started a new job. Can't. Will have to wait for Wed

No not going to be for a while. But if your headed that way it's ok. Once I get up. I'm up for a while.

Ugh. I am about to lose it on family... And friends.
I am so sick of them telling me I don't eat enough. I'm losing weight too fast. I need to eat more veggies. My husband telling people. No she doesn't eat anymore. Not enough to keep a bird alive. Sorry I had one sancho (homemade) and not 3!
I think my insurance company paid a dr a whole lot of money to help me manage this. I have lost 58 pounds since sept and still weight 165. At 5'5" I can still stand to drop a few more pounds.
Guess I should have put this in the rant post. Just had to vent.

I think what may be happening is that folks are used to seeing you a certain size and since you've lost alot of weight, they are just doing a compare. You look like you are eating nothing because compared to what you used to eat...you are eating nothing. Same for your size. You look so much smaller than you used to...therefore...you are too thin.

I hear the same thing...yet I'm still clinically overweight. I'm just so much smaller than I was so people think of me as thin when I am far from it.

Just let those comments roll off your back...they really are compliments so think of them as such.

Congrats on your success.

Ugh. My whole life I have hated shopping for clothes. Now that I have lost a considerable amount of weight. 220-165 I love to shop (not buy just try)
Who is the one person who would drag me shopping for 6-8 hours at a time. But now, stands outside the dressing room and bitches cause I'm trying on 2 pairs of jeans. You guessed it.... mom.
I Knew there would be those jealous and have an attitude about the new me... But her of all people
Grateful my hubby doesn't say a word if I try on one pair or 10. His only complaint is why are you trying them on and not buying them???

Yeah. No erosion. Down to 165. I am happy happy happy. And still drugged lol
