So I believe that after 6 or so fills, I am finally in the green zone! I now have to take itty bitty bites and must chew chew chew or I'll get stuck. I also had my first stuck episode this weekend and it was horrifying. Took about an hour to go down. I'm not excited about that but from that experience, I now know this thing is really working! I know that this could change at a drop of a hat, but I'm still excited to be here.. .for now. Just wanted to share! :-)

So, its taken me a few years to work up to this but if I have something get stuck I just stick my finger down my throat to throw up and it comes out. With two kids, I can't just sit around waiting for it to resolve. You may need to do liquids for a bit- dislodging/pb'ing/puking- can make yor band area a bit inflamed

My surgeon says that vomiting should be avoided at all costs, as it can cause your band to slip.

Mine said the same thing and I have no intentions of doing that. I can see why people would though because it's no fun being stuck but vomiting and slipping scares the bageezus outta me. I just really have to focus on eating small bites, because I honestly haven't head to worry about that until now.

The green zone is where you have enough restriction to eat comfortable, but just not very much. Eat very small bites and must chew tie food well so you dont get stuck. It takes everyone a different pace to get here. I, unfortunately, am very sensitive and any time I got a fill larger than .5 cc, I had to rush back for am unfill because I would swell up and couldn't even get Water down . So I only have 5cc after 6 months. I wish I head a better explanation for you. Anyone else?

I don't try to vomit- but when something gets stuck- it must come out. For me, it never just works its way through. Once you are a few months post of you really should be fine. Best not to, but if you have to- the quickest way is my fave

      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?
