urgently need advice...don't know what is going on!!

I go to the doc tomorrow...my problem is that at times I can eat a great deal and other times I can't eat anything that doesn't cause pain and comes up. Once I start throwing up or sliming as they call it, it doesn't stop and I start heaving:w00t:. I learned what foods to avoid...and some of the foods that cause other issues, don't bother me and vice versa. And I have pain in my left hand side after getting sick...probably a pulled muscle. I know my doc will make the choice but I am confused...to get more of a fill or not. I'm not losing much weight...since May 26, I've lost 25 pounds. For weeks after my fill, I felt nothing. Now, every other day, I am having these issues. I had no idea this procedure would be so hard. Unfortunately, due to some other issues, I am not able to work out, which I know would help me lose weight. I am just wondering why at one moment i can eat and no problems:blushing: and at other times, i get into severe pain. I went to dinner with friends and ordered moist fish and after a few bites, it got stuck...I made it to the bathroom:drool:, but I was embarrassed.Other times the neighbor will bring over a hamburger and it can all go down. ANY advice you give me will be so gratefully accepted. Much love!

Thank all of you for the private and public postings! I saw my doctor and was very honest with him. Told him that I didn't have any restriction until six weeks after my first fill. He informed me that it wasn't a race...easy for him to say:cursing:...and that he didn't feel that I needed a fill yet as he was scared that with the swelling, it would make me too tight, and I agreed. So, I will see him in a month.

Unfortunately, with my doctor, all of us patients wait for hours to see him. Fortunately, this makes for a great mini support group meeting and a few had gone through very similiar circumstances and gave me their advice. I am going to make sure that I chew everything well and take much smaller bites. Also, I will try not to compare what I am losing to others...but it is tough.:( Thanks again for reaching out to me. Much love!
