HOW LONG IS IT GOING TO BE BEFORE EAT AND KEEP MEAT DOWN. I GOT MY LAP BAND ON AUGUST 15 2012. AND I CAN'T EVEN EAT A KRYSTAL PATTY BY IT'S SELF AND KEEP IT DOWN. WAS WONDERING IF ANYBODY ELSE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM

Are you PBing or actually vomiting?

If you're PBing, try taking very small bites, chewing it until mush, and pausing between bites.

If you're vomiting, call your doctor immediately, you shouldn't be vomiting.

WHAT IS PBing

PBing is Productive Burping. It's when you burp the food back up, it's not forceful or violent like vomiting and doesn't result in the stomach retching like vomiting.

I think you should go see your Dr.

It sounds like you are too tight. He must of put Fluid in your band at the time of surgery.

If you haven't had a fill... there is no reason you can not keep meat down and ESPECILLY fluids.

I have had several fills and I have absolutely no problem with any meat.

I seriously advise you to see the Dr.

Best of Luck and please keep us posted

Also, your just 2 weeks post op. Your stomach could still be swollen from the placement of the band and then with all the throwing up... uff. Maybe strictly liquids for a while.

This is just my opinion...but some Doctors don't give enough info, or have enough knowledge. (not saying yours doesn't)

I can't do very many meats and I am 5 1/2 months post op. No steak, or anything grilled. I can do stuff in the crockpot that is very tender, but other stuff even if I chew chew chew just causes discomforts and comes back up.

I'LL POST BIGGER SO IT'S EASIER TO SEE.

I WOULD TALK TO YOUR SURGEON BECAUSE YOU SHOULDN'T BE VOMITING, VOMITING CAN LEAD TO SLIPS.

I THINK THE SUPPORT GROUP WILL BE GOOD, AS WOULD SEEING A NUTRITIONIST. BOTH ARE VALUABLE TOOLS WHEN TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT WITH THE BAND.

GIVE YOUR SURGEON'S OFFICE A CALL AND LET THEM KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.

BEST WISHES TO YOU.
