  1. Reading all of the postings is making me tear up. I was so glad to hear someone express frustration and irritation over the fact that none of the negatives were explained in the presentation! Wow, if I haven't thought that 100 times. I have had the bumpiest band road ever. That horrible vomiting (I hate that word) incident happens to me several times a week. Reason being, I never know how my band will react day to day or moment to moment. Too tight in the AM and loose as a goose in the PM. But always with surprises. I started out not being able to keep anything down at all until after 1pm yesterday......even sips of Water or hot tea, etc. came back up. Then at dinner with friends I realized I had no restriction, got carried away and ate with abandon.....no problems at all and I unfortunately, overate.:Banane13: Frustration is my constant companion! Can anyone relate???? Please tell me I am not alone!
  2. I have questions??? What is the difference between PBing and Throwing Up? My scenario is, no food or liquid after around 7pm or I throw up in middle of night and next morning - liquid that comes up. Then no food or drink till I attempt something ice blended.....Hot just comes up and produces saliva (opposite to all others). So, I drive to work with low blood sugar and dehydration. Then I can get liquids down from about 1pm on and then around 4 or 5pm the flood gates open and I can eat anything not nailed down. What is up with this? Is this normal? Restriction to the enth degree and then none, right when I am starving and ready for a binge??? Help.
