The shoulder pain will get better. Mines still hurt if i eat too much. Its almost like its saying to me thats enough:-)

Ive noticed that junk food doesnt taste the same too especially when i try to eat tacos or cheeseburgers. Potatoes chips taste differently too. I guess it for the best:-)

I too am experiencing tenderness at my port site. Does anyone know if i will be like this forever. Im 7 months post op. If I bend or sit for too long its hurts or if my pants are up around it.

Wow, I was never told this. Thank you I will order one today!

Mine changed too. Hamburgers do not taste the same and i seem to want chips more than i did before. Cake too taste different but i guess that a good thing:-)

Yes please take everyones advice and eat small portions and slow. That was the hardest part for me because im a fast eater. My first stuck episode was a piece of chicken strip that i broke off from my son's plate. We were at the bowling alley and i thght that i was going to die. I keep tapping my chest and walking around. Needless to say, i haven't had another piece since. Also, certain breads, and chinese food do not agree with me anymore.

@@valarie kk. Ive noticed that chinese food and pizza doesnt taste the same. I seem to crave potatoe chips more than before. I still eat a little junk food but not nearly as much as i used to.

I agree. I went girl scout cookie crazy last month so glad thats over. Lol

Cheryl, great post and well said. I needed to read this. I guess im a newbie banded dec 2013 so reading this has definitely gave me some encouragement. I love reading posts by you:-) keep them coming!

Thank you, you all. I am noticing that with this second fill I can really feel the restriction. My left shoulder also lets me know too;-)..

I just had my second fill. Im down 42lbs since being banded on December 10, 13. Im now at 6.5cc. I go back in a month. I think that this maybe my comfort zone. I will find out how well it works for me next month, but all in all I'm enjoying the new me:-)

Congrats! Keep up the good work!

Great News that your band hadnt slipped and i know what you mean about the burping and gas. I used to only get gas if i ate onions or diary now its with everything. I must have missed that part in the seminar. Lol.

That is awesome. Congrats!

Yeah i have worn a bra twicd but it is still uncomfortable and i find myself unsnapping it mid day. I usually just wear a tank under my shirts for now. Im thinking trying a sports bra.

Congrats!! I know that felt great!

Oh ok. Thank you for your response:-)

Congrats and good luck and have a speedy recovery!!

Helllo great post, but was is sliming. Im a newbie dec 10 banded.

I am one month post, no fills yet and some parts of the day I feel I can eat anything. Sometimes one mini bite chewed, was fine. Took my son bowling and we ate Wendy's for something quick. I took chicken from the wrap, chewed a lot and 3rd bite, it was stuck!! I immediately stood up and felt terrible!!!! 4-5 hours later and still feel weird. Guess I could say my first episode. Will not do that again.Im confused i thought we could eat chicken and you still got stuck. Im not on real food yet just mushy and im scared to eat anything.

Im on soft mushy foods this week. I talked to my nutritionist and she said try removing dairy from diet. I was eating eggs with milk, tuna with lowfat mayo, and pureed creamed soup with milk. I will see how that goes this weekend. I ate a sweetpotatoe yesterday and that stayed down but i was nauseous and gasy. Thanks for the responses and i will keep you guys posted.

Hello everyone, im new to the forum. I look forward to everyones feedback. I received my band on Dec 10, surgery went well but now i cant seem to hold anything down. It goes right throw me. I am a bit frustrated. Will this get better?

Hello, i received my band on dec 10 and although i love the weight loss. Im not liking the gas, upset stomach, and the fatigue. My nutritionist keeps suggesting certain mushy foods but everything upsets my stomach. I just rather not eat. Ugh!
