PBiing happens when a piece of food gets stuck and you bring it back up. It's kind of like vomiting but, for me, anyway, doesn't come from as deep in my stomach as vomiting.

I was banded only a week ago and have lost 10 pounds. This will work and the liquids are temporary. I know several ppl who have had this and all are doing well. There have been some ups and downs with them but it a process and takes time. Hang in there. We got this :) just remember how great we are going to look and feel soon!!!!!

Hi Lindsey, I hope each day is getting better for you. Are you getting enough Protein? Are you on full or Clear Liquids?

I would be mad at my husband if he ate fast food in front of me. I miss French fries! Didn't you say your brother had the surgery? How can he eat fast food?

I've talked with my husband and he knows he can eat whatever he wants when he's not around me. Thankfully he's been supportive. Now that I'm on mushies, he's eating the same thing as me. He hopes to loose weight too by practicing the principles of eating slower and portion control!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
