Since my last fill two weeks ago I just can't seem to get adjusted right with food. I get stuck or I get sick. Today I start off with a greek yogurt for breakfast, that went ok, 4 hrs later I eat leftovers from Thanksgiving, just a few tee tiny bites of turkey, maybe 6 bites the size of my pinky nail, the same in portion of dressing and the same portion of hashbrown casserole, wasn't long and I lost it all. Tonight I was hungry and ate maybe a half cup of chicken salad with 2 crackers, couldn't even finish it and didn't eat the second cracker and had to go throw up. Its like the food wants to come back up or just sits at the back of my throat and I can't swallow it down. What's wrong?

Donna, this is absolutely NOT judgmental but meant to be encouraging. :-) I don't have an answer about your food issue but I want to encourage you to do a TINY bit of walking every single day. Walk to your mailbox or the end of your driveway and back. Or walk on your treadmill super slow for 3 or 4 minutes. I understand lethargy and I know you can't keep food down right now, but just walk a few minutes every day. It will get you going in the right direction and hopefully become easier within one week. I enjoy reading your posts and I think you're a beautiful lady.

aw, thank you so much. I will try to walk as much as I can. Yes I am able to keep soft mushy foods down and liquids. I did call my surgeon and he called back and said it sounded like I was tad bit too tight and for me to come in Monday to get some relief. In the meantime enjoy mushies and soft foods again.

Too tight. Keeping it that way leads to eating sliders. These tend to be higher in cals leading to weight gain.

I know, right! I've only lost a half lb in two weeks and ever since I got my last fill I keep getting stuck, I throw up and then bam yesterday and today I can't eat solids. I'm so hungry right now!

I had only lost around 2 pounds when mine was too tight I had some taken out last Friday and I have lost 2 pounds!!! It's funny our body really does need food to lose:) lol

Donna dont feel bad for not exercising. I have arthritis everywhere and if I exercise even walk I pay for it. I have lost well with no exercise. I may have lost faster but I do not in one bit feel bad about not exercising. Some people just have issues and can't. Yes we abused our bodies with the weight. I pay for even at my weight now but it happens. Hang in there, go get some unfill and see but chicken doesnt work for me in any way shape or form and I have way less in my band then you do.

Just hope you feel better. The will to exercise is hard to gather. I struggle with it all the time.
