Thank you! I was thinking this may be necessary. I will try this and call them on Monday.

I was banded in July and never had a problem till this last week. Almost daily I have felt a little sticking while eating...tried to slow down. Last night we went out to dance and party. Had a few goodies, no problem. Went to Taco Cabana afterward and tried one bite of a soft taco.. then one bite of chips & queso...terrible stuck feeling immediately and I threw up that chip & queso in the restroom and didn't eat again. This morning my hubby made me eggs & bacon. One bite of bacon one bite of cheesy egg and I felt that really bad sticking again and my mouth watered as if readying to relieve the stomach again. I even tried to drink Water and it felt more stuck. I can't reach the surgery center as it's the weekend. I wonder if anyone has suggestions for me that may be useful? I am sipping water now, which seems to be going down alright. Happy Halloween!

banded 8/11..still so weak?

Completely normal! you should be taking it easy. I was taking naps every day for one week out. I (very dumb) tried to organize a garage sale on my 5th day after with a friend and I wiped myself out... hurt myself a little too. So relax, take it easy, you're recovering -
How will I know when I am "stuck"

Is that why I've got hiccups a couple of times? I wondered. Sometimes I think I can feel things going down. I may burp once in awhile. These are signs I need to slow down? -
Banded 6/12/09 and losing patience!!! Anyone else..

I do that too. At least a bottle and a half of water before I'm out the door in the morning. I think it helps me loads. I try to eat. What kind of issues do you have with your back? Iwas walking every day for two months before getting surgery and my back pain grew steadily worse. Turns out it is related to a pinched nerve (and weight, of course) and from the impact my steps send into my back. I have been prescribed to do the Sit & Be Fit exercises on PBS for it. -

I personally have lost 34 pounds since I started my pre-op diet on July 7, 2009. I am continuing to lose, but not ignoring any hunger thoughts I have. I used to normally go overboard at night, so now I may have one or two sugar free popsicles and I have successfully stayed away from old favorites like chocolate, coke, and popcorn. I really am grateful for my bandtool because otherwise it would be some miracle. I'm sorry that so many people, like yourself, feel they are having a bad time, or they don't see the scale moving. You are losing weight though, so keep working toward your goals. Remember those breads and sweets you're offered at work and parties will be there again next year. I hope you get to your sweet spot soon and your smile gets bigger. -
Help! Lap band surgery 10 days ago with no weight loss!

Have you contacted your surgeon's office to ask if it is expected for you? -
:thumbdown:My nurse told me to stay away from potatoes and things like oatmeal because the carbs will keep me from losing...
Well, I decided to have broth instead of creamier tomato soup yesterday, and sure enough I lost a pound that I had gained back. Unfortunately, I did experience hunger later... g:frown:
I can hang.
How are you doing today?

You should be losing. I thought that I was going to gain after going off liquids and when I did gain a pound I mentioned it to the nurse practitioner. She said I was probably getting too many carbs and needed to cut back on the creamy Soups. I had dizziness before I had surgery so a little now wouldn't bother me, however, you should be contacting your surgeon's office right away because I don't think you are doing well at all. Before you beat yourself up anymore, get yourself into see the doctor or nurse. Don't be afraid to pester them with questions. This is your life, right? Good luck.:sneaky: -
Other than that, I was gaining weight, but following the paper I was given. I found out I am taking in carbs and that's a no-no in the first year. Funny thing? The nurse could not find a more updated sheet of what to eat for me. She just said to avoid the yogurt smoothie and mashed potatoes. I'm going to be more careful now.
-
I'm sorry, I have been too busy I think. First, I started back to work yesterday and then one of my wounds started opening up... eeewwww. So I saw a nurse today and she quelled any concern I had.
Second, I started the Twilight vampire series and actually got into it. When I do that I can't put a book down, so I'm already in the middle of book three. I started Saturday afternoon on the 1st. It's a shame I can't slow down when I have an interesting read.
It sucks more though that I can't read like that with textbooks!

I haven't heard back from you so I'm a bit worried. How are you doing? Did things settle down a bit? I hope you are doing well. I"m heading for my shower so I can take the dawg for a walk. Drives my husband crazy but I take the cell phone with me.
Take care.
