Been having acid reflux waking up to have to vomit for about the last six months. Had some fluid taken out, so at least it's not every night now. I think I need to quit eating earlier in the evening before going to bed. Any suggestions I work a variety of shifts at work makes supper time after 8pm alot of nights.

Taking flight any suggestions?
· pegdew · 08/02/2011 02:49
I have to go on a business trip. This will be my first flight since having the band put in. Should I expect any problems? Any suggestions as far as taking protien along on the trip ?? I don't want to take a whole big container I'll only be gone four days. Protien as carry on or just in baggage?
My band is as tight as I can get it and still eat. I asked for the extreme before I moved and boy did I get it. My husband has finally figured out how much I can eat without throwing up. I was vomiting after every meal for awhile and live to far to go to the doctor every time I may need an adjustment. I'm concerned about eating in front of people because of eating slow and not being able to eat a full plate of food they serve. I've requested smaller portions and no large vegatables. I'd rather not eat than have to keep leaving the table to go vomit.
Anyone got anything else I'm forgetting about?

Great support on here!
· pegdew · 02/02/2011 20:39
I love reading the blogs on here. This is an excellent way of learning and supporting each other with the lapband. Just looking for people to email and make friends with on here. I don't have much home support and not much into going to the support meetings they are out of town and not very convient with my work.

Port slippage
· pegdew · 01/14/2011 21:39
How would you know if something was wrong with your port sight? How bad would the pain be? How long should you have pain at the port sight after surgery?

Peggy's journey
· pegdew · 01/24/2011 02:47
Post op two and a half weeks to go until I get an adjustment. Still eating smaller portions and haven't gained any weight since surgery. Need to work on exercising more. Always tired after working it's an effort to come home from work and exercise. Every thing goes down fine now except bread. Need to put more variety in my diet as well.
