Thanks so much for those words of encouragement. I hope I do better. I hate the thought of no more pasta. I love pasta.

Is there a list of acronyms someplace? I don't know what PB means. Thanks

We went out to dinner and I had one chicken quesadilla and a glass of wine. I had to eat it very slowly but it went down without a hitch. Thanks for your suggestions. Marylyn

What's VSG? Can you tell me where there is a list of acronyms for this forum please. Thanks Marylyn

I've had the band for several months but only got a big fill for the first time on Monday January 26th. Up till now I could eat pretty much what I wanted without any problems (except for carrots and dry chicken that is) but now the doc has added 1.5 more of saline and I can't eat anything without it getting stuck. Tonight I made Pasta with meat sauce. I drank some Crystal Light with it, I didn't remember that I shouldn't do that. Halfway through dinner, the pain was intolerable, and I started to wretch. I forced myself to throw up all I could to relieve the pain but it kept up and I felt like my stomach and back were being pushed from the inside. I have never had this pain so I was shocked at the reaction I was having. I was in pain for over and hour, and now I still am afraid to eat. I still feel sick four hours later. What should I do and/or what did I do wrong? Thanks Marylyn

Did it!! Thanks a lot. Marylyn

I want to receive notification when someone posts to a thread I have posted to. I want the notification to come to my email box. How do I do this? Thanks a lot, Marylyn

Hi I live in Monroe Township, exit 8A, and I wonder if anyone is going to this meeting. Thanks Marylyn

The pain cleared up. I still get gas pains however. Thanks so much.

I had my surgery on June 27th and up until now everything was going well. Now I am having these sharp pains in my midsection like I have been wearing pants two sizes too small. I even have a line across my belly where I never had one before. I mean a deep indentation as if my belly had been constricted with a belt for days. Is this normal. I too notice I am completely swollen. I eat regular foods like berries and farina. Could this be the problem? I called the Doc and all he said was he'd see me in three weeks, five in total from the surgery. Thanks for letting me join your group. I know I will be posting a lot. Thanks Marylyn
