So i went to post op appt. And the lady that was giving the explanation on the next step in our diet,mushies ,kept narrating all the times she felt stuck and sick it was torture.So i wonder do bandsters always feel sick ?or do we just get used to it?

i am a newbie also but i have not had all the discomforts described by some. if i do, i know what i did wrong and try not to repeat. the one thing i have noticed is that ppl don't utilized their nutritionist or doctor when having a issue. they are your best recourse and have the expierence to deal with the different problems. good luck on your journey

If you're chewing enough, taking small enough bites, eating slow enough and don't have your band too tight then you should very rarely get sick. And "sick" does not mean vomiting, in fact vomiting should be avoided at all costs with the band.

It's pretty much all under your control.

Best wishes.

I have not been sick .. I was banded inJanuary and try to concentrate on eating slowly and taking small bites.. I have gotten slightly stuck in chicken before but learned to make sure it was moist.. otherwise I have been very happy with my band...

Everyone has a different experience. Many of us have not felt sick or stuck very often if at all. I am 7 months out and have only PB'd once and have felt "stuck" a few other times but it went down after a minute or two. I have never felt nauseous or thrown up. I do feel like I have done so well because I am following the rules, which leads to the best banding outcome. Good luck =)

What's the diff between PB and a regular burp. Like every since surgery I now have burps after I eat. In a way it's my body's way of telling me I'm done. So I don't get the difference?

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
