Sounds like you are way too tight. I just had all the Fluid removed because I had EXACTLY the same problem. I WISH i could have barfed! It never up, just slimed like it was my job! I couldn't live like that anymore. I have two little ones and I was done. How much Fluid do you have in? When was your last fill?

I have found that I need to eat really slowly and small bites chewed well. I have been able to eat tuna salad, chicken salad, soft cooked veges, some fruits -- but all need to be eaten and swallowed very slowly and then wait to feel that it has gone down before taking another bite. You should definitely talk to your doctor -- perhaps your band is too tight. Hope this helps. Sometimes it can be frustrating but hang in there and remember your exercise and Water.< /p>

Yep sounds like you are to tight - As was already said - tiny bites - eat very slowly and chew the heck out of your food..

Are you keeping a food log, are you exercising

The band is never going to stop you from eating junk - exercise the gray matter too cuz truly this is where most of our problems lie..

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
