Had my first follow-up visit today. I am down 9 lbs since surgery 1 week ago and down 32 lbs since my journey began 3 weeks ago! I had band with plication and I think I will get my first fill will be in 4 weeks. I have had actual food today for the first time (broccoli soup) and I am so glad to eat something other than jello or protein shake! I only had about a 1/2 cup but I am soooo stuffed an hour later!

Update: Kept feeling like something was caught in my chest. About 4 hours after I ate I ended up vomiting! What did I do wrong? I am supposed to be on mushies and I only ate a half cup of cheddar brocoli soup. There were no large chunks of brocolli at all! I don't understand what I could have done wrong. Is it possible that the 1/2 cup was too much??!! Im so confused!

How fast did you eat and how big were the bites of brocolli? Sometimes I have a delayed reaction if I didn't take small bites.. Don't worry. If you vomited too hard, go back to liquids for a day and then try again. Your stomach still might be healing and is swollen. Brocolli and other course food sometimes are hard to swollow.
