good evening everyone.....

I am now eating with almost no problems at all.. I can eat with out pbing if I am careful not to overeat... so far so good! I am now getting used to my body telling me "enough" eating slower and tiny bites. thanks again for all the useful information.

I am still worrying if my bamd is ok.... I am totally paranoid about it slipping. does everyone worry about that?

:cool: tomorrow will be my one month post op... and I am now feeling more back to my old self..yahooooooooooooo

The paranoia reduces with time. I don't know if it ever completely goes away, but I only think about it occasionally, now... :cool:

hi, i am 4 weeks and 2 days out. i am finally feeling somewhat normal. my dr. has me eating soft solids for 2 more weeks, but i feel ready to eat normally. also he wants me to have a fill next tuesday, but i dont feel ready for that. ive lost 21 lbs. by the way what does p bing mean ? thanks janie

PB=Productive Burp - vomiting up the food above the band.

If you are not ready for a fill, do not get one. This is your journey, and has to be done at your pace.

JMHO.

Francesca and Janie, you're moving right along! The healing phase is almost over and you're taking the next step.

Francesca, are you on solid food? Sounds like you're doing great...it's such a relief to find that eating can be done without problems, as we learn to take it SLOW and pulverize our food to bits. Congratulations!

Janie, I'm surprised your doctor wants you to have a fill if you're not yet on regular solid food. You might want to say that you want to wait to see how you handle things on a regular diet first before scheduling a fill.

Good job, both of you!!

thanks, Alex and Donali you two keep this board alive. Francesca i do not worry about my band slipping because of the stitch or stiches that the doc took to hold it in place, plus ive heard that its pretty rare. keep up the good work i guess we are almost twins. what do you eat in a day? i am very curious? thanks Janie;)
