Hi I'm 5 days pre op and new to this group Is anyone else pre op and having consistent nausea?

Hello there, as of last week I was 1 year banded and had nothing but troubles. First I wasn't loosing then had a fill and still didn't loose following that I went back and had no fluid in the band. So I got refilled and went back for a check up and everything was fine. Then it came to where it wasn't able to eat meat or carbs so my doctor was going to Un fill as it may have been to tight but he couldn't find the port. So 1 week later I had to have a X-ray and drink this awful corky stuff he checked the band was in place and port turns out everything was ok. Except the flow through the band was to loose. He then removed all the fluid and refilled it with a bit extra to help. With in a week of doing this iv lost 10lbs and this May sound strange but the restriction is a whole different experience than before. So my point in this is to ask has anyone else had similar problems? And how would you describe your restriction (feelings, reflux, portion size ect) this would be very helpful. I'm also looking for friends on myfitnesspal from other people who have the band to get a in site as to what they can eat and how the band is working for them. Please add me thecutecandygirl Thank you xx

Thank you B-52 I tried to cut out meat and I got told off as they said it's very essential or they would fill the band. Since my fill n clean eating (no preservatives) in a week iv lost 10lbs. It's just nice to find other people who aren't finding it as easy as the doctors say it is

We'll done, sounds like you are doing brilliant. Keep up the good work and I also do the same with the scales. They are more like friends than enemy's like before ????

Hey there I'm currently 1 year post op and was looking for some insight/help into seeing what others eat and maybe give them some support. Iv also had all the ups and downs with the band with a big list of problems so hopefully what iv learned I can pass on to other people. I'm also on my fitness pal feel free to add me thecutecandygirl is my username.

I'm 1 year post op and I still have this problem, make sure your drinking plenty of water as I find this is normally when I feel hungry most
