Hello All I am down about 70 lbs but since my second fill I am alot tighter which is good but this past week I have had some problems. Can eating to fast cause you to get sick? Monday I wound up getting sick like 4 times after I ate lunch. I know this may sound stupid but I have not lost alot recently and its frusturating to me but also I can only eat a small amount of food now. Physically i am fine but I won't lie mentally it bothering me I am think I am in the stage right now of mornikng food and today I have been real crabby. I know i have to work through it and I don't want to lose to fast. Sorry for dumping so much on you I wish there were other local support groups to go too. Any suggestions you can give? I amnot to drink with meals. So when you get I start feeling the pressure now i stop. Like today I was at lunch at a resturant and felt it with just taking a few bites so I had to get up and wlalk around to make me feel better as it started to hurt. Could part of it be that I am not taking small enough bites would that make it hurt? I don't mind when I am at home as much buit hate when others can see I am sick or not eating alot. can't and sometimes it frusturating to me. I am not giving up just seeking advice and yes I know I have those counseling sessions but would rather talk to people on here. Also do you burp and hiccup? Because I do still sometimes is that normal or am I doing something wrong? So how much do you eat now? Like a 1/2 c meat and vegetables. Today I am so out of it and just feeling down. But don't worry not giving up. Now that I have vented I am going to the Y. Any tips or support you can give I will take. I am just down right crabby today and things are getting on my nerves. So I do not know what to do so I am going to exercise maybe I will feel better. Today mentally :help: not doing well I guess and know I have to work through it, as I am happy about loosing weight. But sometimes Mike just don't get it sometimes and yes he is off today and just doing thing to piss me off today. Well I am sure I vented more than I should have. Well not much else to say right now I know this is a stage and I will get through it. Hope all is well. How did others get through the stage or mourning food or knowing you can only eat a little bit and like I said physically I am satified and feel fine but its the mental side that is bothering me. I am feeling some better but just wonder how did others get through the morning food phase that is more mental than physical. Physical I feel great and content it my mind that seems to be messing with me. Thanks Larry P.S. How did others get through this and what did you do?

Hello All, I have my 2nd fill last Tuesday and have starting feeling a little down about food not that i am physically hungary as I am not and feel great. But mentally have felt down the last few days I think I am in the mourning stage of food. I know I can still eat just smaller portions and mentally it has affected me the last few days. Has anyone else felt this way and what you did to help. I keep exericsing and went hiking today with my partner. Well almost bed time so will keep it short:help: Larry

I had UHC and did have other health problems but after all the paperwork was submitted to the insurance company I approved within abt two weeks and its up to your employer whats covered. I also along with all the surgeon paperwork I requested to have my 5 page medical letter of necessity I wrote to the insurace company why they should pay for it.

The lap band is healthy way to go, You do not hear people having anywhere near the same mortality weight as you do with other surgeries. I have worked with people or use too that did not make it through the gastric bypass. If you are barfing and sliming is it really the band's fault or is it the doctor, or are the lap band rules being followed. I would do the lap band all over even if i had to do surgery again and the pain I felt after.

The thing that helped me most if I took advantage of my 3 free months at Y through Memorial Exercise center. The fact I love to listen to music and thats keep me moving. Also my determination to keep going as I have exercised on and off even before surgery I just go movin and even days I don't want too I do it. I make time for me and that is my time at the Y I leave the cell phone behind and just get into it.

I have not tried it either its not worth it getting stuck but always have been told popcorn is a healthy snack.

Hi Don, Glad your surgery went well. You are in my thoughts and prayers

Its more than alright that is what we ae here for is to support each other any way we can. My thoughts are with you

Hello All, I actually feel human these last couple days. Moods are improving not getting tired as much and finding new creative ways to get my Protein in as I am done with the Isopure. Any on in Chattanooga that may be getting ready for surgery email me before you buy any at 3.79 or more a bottle. I am still trying to get enough liquids in and its hard. I can move around and the weight is still coming down. Any suggestions on how to get more liquids please let me know. Hope all have a great weekend

Hello I missed the Halloween Exchange but hope that someone will keep me in mind for the Christmas Exchange.

I am sorry to hear that I wish you the best and your children too. I have had more than one sister that went through divorce and it was not easy for them. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time. If there is anything I can let me know. I have had a break up that very hard for me but my partner now is truly a blessing. Hope this find you doing well
