.....also, if you have been throwing up a lot, you might be swollen. you should maybe do 24 hours of liquids only to see if the swelling will go down and allow you to eat again.

So a quick update to all who followed.

I am having issues with throwing up, food getting stuck and I think its because I eat too fast. Also I am gaining weight again... I'm back up to 235... what steps should I take? I am starting to get worried!

Hi Jonathan,

I have not had a fill as of yet. I am having a problem as well with food getting stuck. Think it is because I have started to eat fast again. No bread no Pasta ect . going back to see the Dr on Oct 11 I will ask them what to do.

Take care of you.

Mary

Hi Johnathan & Mary too: Funny how now 2 1/2 months out and I am getting stuck also. Had a bad episode on Sunday with the whole family eating over. It lasted for about 25 minutes before it passed. Did not vomit but I did "slime" (sorry its gross). Could not get liquids down to help it along. I did take papaya pills -- don't really know it that helped either. Went to Dr. yesterday for my monthly visit and they said to eat slower and chew better......which of course I know. Don't know why this is happening more now. Will be much more careful when eating. Going on a trip with friends to Vegas saturday........hope all goes well over there. Dr. G. said the band will get tighter when I fly. I don't have a fill yet and not anxious to get one at this point. Thank you Johnathan for the congrats on my reaching ONDERLAND. That was a big milestone for me. Mary, hope all is well with you......sorry you are getting stuck too. At least we know it is a common occurance with the lapband.....but its not a good feeling. Good Luck to both of you. CAT

Hi Cat,

I am so happy that you reached onderland. I know you worked hard to get there. Let me tell you I am in no hurry to get a fill any time soon. I hope you have a great trip. Please make sure that you keep in your wallet a note that will say that you have the lap band just incase. I was told this by another friend who had the band done.

Take care of you safe trip,

Mary

thanks Mary.....I will take a card with the lapband info. Also PA at drs office suggested looking up a doctor in the area and hospital that does lapbands just in case. I thought it was a good idea. I must be very careful when eating or I will regret it by getting stuck. CAT

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
