no just feeling tight.. I ended up having a little bit of salad.. No bread sticks.. I have two kids they shared a small chesse pizza . so i ordered off the kids menu had grilled chicken pasta which i didnt touch and broccoli I had maybe a 1/4 of the chicken .. Just seems as if i get a few bites and I am dont.. If that how it is for everyone or am i too tight??

going for a little unfil tomorow.. Going to olive garden for b-day dinner. what would you order

No I can swallow now. but still cant eat to much just wondering about if I have swelling if that is the reasoning or need more fluid out.. I know no one can say forsure. Just looking curious about others stories.. Can you have swelling for a few days after puking..

today I went to see my doctor.. I was in for a fill a few weeks back. Had tight restriction. But was able to eat. It is getting close to Time of the month.. Seems as if things are tighening more.. I went in he took out 2 cc I believe.. I havent been able to eat well at all for the last few days. Last night was awful..Was up not even being able to swallow my own spit.. Trying to throw up nothing.. My pillow was wet.. Gross... Felt somewhat better today after slight unfill but now burping and chest fullness is coming back.. Could it be I am still swollen from throwing up or more needs to come out.. Yikes.. cant the unconfortbaleness

Thanks for the feed back.. I totally agree about the stress part as well. Amazing what your emotions can do to your body

Ok i am seeing a pattern when my time is going.. I feel I can barely get anything down.. If i do not much stays there..Am I alone. My family is all worried about my eating and getting sick. But I truly can keep very little time down this time of the month. So today I will just drink so I am not misrable.. I am drinking a protein shake right now. but amazing enough if I dont drink it slowly I am sure this also would be a problem. Only a few days a month. Crazy stuff.. I am not eating any differntly right now than any other time. I spoke with my doc. he said just to eat very slowly. but at these times food really is not ok for me. Just want to know if anyone else has these days __________________

How do these Protein shots taste

I am having some challenages. i should have gone in sooner. I am unsure if I dont just have the will power yet to eat slower or smaller bites. I have a odd thing almost feels as if my food backs up in my chest..then I pb and sometimes throw up. I am going in tomorow.. Unsure if I am got tight or need to work on it more. Does all doctors have the may to fill with the xrays..?/ Any advise would be great __________________

so looking forward to restriction.. Glad to hear i am not the only one out here not feeling it yet???? thanks for all your answers..

I found the story about winning him at the fair to be funny :smile: But i am with you. I sometimes find home support to be hard. Sometimes I think hubby wants to as I am so no one else would want me. I am doing this for me... Not to leave ... But for me.. I want to be able to play with my kids be healty etc.. but I do agree that sometimes a large weight loss is life changing.. But I feel what is in your future is there regardless..

So I had surgery on Oct 13... I have lost 25 lbs so far.. I have had two fills one coming up soon. I really have no restriction as of yet.. I can eat far more than i cup. I would be left very hungry on one cup a meal.. Need some nice kind words.. When do you start to loose and feel restriction

you look amazing. Congrats to you. Any words of wisdom to us newbies

Feeling a bit tired lately need to take my vitamins everyday. What kind of vitamins is everyone taking. Also do you take anything other than a multi vit ?

Wow lets form a shoulder pain group. I fell so much like you talked about Redhead. I was banded on Oct 13. So not to far out. The minute my eyes opened after surgery I was in pain. I also had a hernia repaired. I am told it is do the the larger hernia they had to repair. Something like c6 and 7 and the nevres shot up and give you the pain. I also use it as a to fast eating or to much. sometimes it gets so bad as pain each breath I take. One day I had gone to Costco with the kids needed to return something. By the time I was checking out I was almost in tears. thankfully I dont live that far away. had to come home take some of the liquid nasty pain meds they gave me. That stuff seems to help. When i was in a week or so ago he said just over the counter pain meds was fine. DIdnt offer to give me anything else.

I was banded on Oct 13. had my first fill two weeks ago. Another first week of Jan. My doctor said when I had the surgery they took the air out and put in 3cc and I had 1.5 a few weeks ago. Does that put me at 4.5 ? Crazy question I know Just unsure since he said they took the air out of band and replaced with saline ?? Not feeling much restriction yet though. Although we went to taco bell I ordered only a bean buritto. And was more than happy with that. My eyes are still much bigger than my stomach:confused:

I was banded the same day. I am in Chico california. Had my first fill last week..

Thanks. You will also. It is so exciting I also have two dogs little ones now though and yep 5 cats.. Crazy.. As for the prediet I did great at the begining but yeah it is hard. But I have read on the furoms of a lady who went in for sugery and they couldnt do it. Due to fatty liver. I think that info. was handy scard me. Did I cheat a little yep.. A bit here and there. I also had a large hernia. Which was repaired at the same time. So I had serious shoulder pain.. which comes from your stomach. i guess they messed in there so much that is where the pain goes. So I was out of work for two weeks. But I think if it was just lap band I would have been fine. Are you staying over night at the hospital. I did. do allot of walking They say it is very helpful. Any questions you have no problem. I was the biggest question person ever before. I am not big on the unknown. By the way I live in Northern california. I live in Chico

Hi I am also 39. mom of two kids daughter who is 14 son who is 11. been married since 92. I was banded on OCt 13. Started at 225 now 204 had my first fill last week..
