I had the same question. My stuck feeling made me feel like I could not breath it scared the crap out of me. I was having diner at a Japanese steak house I ate a couple of bites of rice and it all went down hill from there I thought I was going to pass out in the ladies room. I am really not sure what PB ing is but, it was coming back up but not like when oh let's say when you have morning sickness.The whole experience was weird for me I thought if I drank something that would help push it down.NOPE it made it worse back into the ladies room. My first fill is Thursday I can't wait to ask him what went wrong.

My Dr. told me I have to do liquids for three weeks.which included yogurt and cream soups. I have notice that some of you are able to go to mushies sooner.I was just wondering if I was alone cause I may need a little support. I just want some tuna:crying:

I am on three weeks liquid but, I can have yogurt.I was wondering the same thing I have notice that most folks are able to go to mushies after 2 weeks. I really don't I am going to make it three weeks.

I use the Flintstones Gummies I asked the dietitian and she just told me to take four a day and taste great

I just had my first one too I had not one since Nov of last year my OB/said it was to my weight gain. And know that I have lost weight it has started it was kinda weird. I have been drained so tired. We were banded the same the day and you able to go mushies. My DR. has his patient on liquids for three weeks. I envy you.

I had my the same the day as you I have no hunger pains. I am so glad. I can only drink 8oz. of protein in order to get in a second one I have to get up very early.It's so bad that I can't even get my vitamins in I had to start using Flintstones. gummies.

I don't measure either I know I can only drink 8oz. at a time. if you are looking for something that will show you what a portion looks like I have seen these plates on HSN.com Official Site that have the pics on them I thought they were cute but, a little pricey for 4 plates at 29.99 I think they had three different patterns.

I did contact the office the nurse told me to take easy and walk but, don't try to push myself to hard the breathing did get a little better I am able to do my house stairs without getting out of breath. I still feel a little tight in my chest when I take a deep breath.My follow up appt. is today I need to write down all my questions so I won't forget. No I am not a smoker. I did have the C-pap machine while in I was in the hospital and the nebulizer (sp) I felt like I was being treated for asthma. I will update when I get back.

I have not cheated our band dates were the same. I can barely put anything in mouth today I feel so sick.Like I need ginger ale to make me feel better I guess you can call it a sour stomach. I have had to make myself drink at least one Protein shake. the only thing I want are Popsicle. My stomach is grumbling all the time but, I am not sure if I am hungry or it's gas. I think I could enter a belching contest:eek: stay strong........

Thank you all I will contact my DR. this morning just to doulbel check. on the breathing.

I have read that some of you were hungry. at your band I am not I have no feeling when I am or when I have to go to the batroom.To do anything I am also very winded I am so out of breath. I have little pain and a lot of gas. (TMI) I also have very watery bm.I have been walking but, I get so tired.Oh I forgot I had my surgery on June19th at 11:00am. I just wanted to know if any one else was having or had these symptons?

I had mines today also,I am having a lot gas pain on my left side but, other than that I seem to doing fine. My DR. makes all of his patients stay overnight so I am still here. congrats to you both..

I have Fed. BC/BS. I met with the suregononapril 15th I had all testing completed by April 29th I was apporeved on May 22nd. My first date was June 10th then it was pushed back due to overbooking. My new date is June19th which is tom.:thumbup:

Today was my best day since I started my protein shakes,this is day 5. It may because I was not in the house I hung out with my sister.We spent a lot of time in the stores so that kept my mind pretty occupied. I did so good while we were out. I did not feel tempted to eat anything I made sure I had my protein shake before I left the house. I doubled up knowing that I was going to be out for most of the day and I had my Crystal Light with me. I can not believe that my date is so close in 24 hours I will at Providence Hospital having my Lap-band!! It has taken me almost 8 years to finally mentally take a look at myself and say it is time. I have been to so many seminars I read so many stories on here that there is really not much that I don't know about having band other than actually having it. I do sometimes wish that I would have it done right after my son was born almost 8 years ago,but I hesitated because I wanted to have another child even though they say you can still have a baby with the band at that time I just wasn't sure.Then there was last year when I thought I was ready I wasn't. So here I am ready, so ready to start a new chapter in my life. when I really think about what has taken me so long other than the mental part it was people who have been in my life telling me I look like I lost weight when I knew I had gained and then it was those telling me you are so tall were is all that weight.Well I know were it is hiding underneath my clothes LOL. I can't believe I am blogging I have never done this before and I am sure some you are saying yea we can tell because you are all over the place LOL. I like it it's better than writing in a journal for me until Tom. Peace and blessings

That's all I can do is take it one day at a time and know that in the end it will be well worth it. Today is Wed. at 12:05 in the morning I can't sleep. I am really not sure why I don't feel nervous or anxious or maybe I am and just don't realize it.Well today went pretty good only one headache.I think I really need to switch back to my other soy milk that silk soy is giving me gas bubbles , and from what I have read on the site and heard that is the last thing I want post-op. I did get to speak with a friend of a friend who had the band about a month ago,she did offer some advice .but it was the same stuff I had already read.She went for her first fill and her Dr wasn't happy because she had not lost the weight she should have.So I guess someone hasn't been a good patient (LOL). she did tell me that she did not have to do the protein due to her working out and losing about 25 pounds.I thought that was great . my Dr. requires it the protein she was a first i have heard that.any way until tom. I am 48 hours away I am so excited:w00t:

Omg why is this time harder day 4,I am getting headaches and I am not the nicest person to be around. I guess I should have stayed the protein shakes. I am really having a hard time this go around. I love the brand that I drink I even went and bought the isopure there ok. The dietician did say we could have lite cream soup which would be great if ate tomato soup or if I could find something I like. oh Tina stop your complaing things could be a lot worse. My insurance could have denied , I could be a really unhealthy person that I could not have the surgery, or I could have spent the rest of my life buying ever diet product and workout dvd that came on tv. So let's focus on the brighter side of things. although you are over 300 pounds you are very healthy no health issue at all other than being over weight. You only have three more days until you get banded. You have a supportive family. YOU CAN DO IT!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!! this self talk really helped I am no longer hunger or angery at every one in my house. unitl Tom.

I went to my final consult on June 5th. He explained to me what was going to happen and to see if I had any questions.He also said you will be on the 10th I said no the 12th he said wow how many are they putting on that day. Anglea is the person who schedules the band dates handed me my papers to have my pre -surgery test done.She also made it very clear that anything can happen were as the date may change. In my head I knew it would just from the comment Dr. Rickford made.The next day I get a call saying we need to move your date to the 17th I say I can't that day my son's end of the year program is that day so she moves to the 19th which I agreed on on forgetting that I have I bus trip to go on the next day. I called her back and I could tell in her voice that she had no intentions of changing the date again. I asked her if I would be ok if I went on the trip she said it was up to me. On Thursday I went and had all of my pre-ops done X-ray, EKG and blood work that was a long day oh and I had to pre-register. So now I have a week to enjoy some of my favorite foods. So I thought...because I had been on the protein shakes so long that when it came time for me to eat my jaws hurt. I could not believe how long it took me to eat dumplings. If I ate to much of anything I paid for it dearly I had heart burn and acid refulx in the middle of the night. June 12th I started back on the protein shakes I hope I am able to make it being that I have already done the protein before and then I was able to eat and now I am back on them again. This is day two and I really tried to sleep as much as I could just to keep my mind off food....
