I read all about how everyone will PB if eat too much ect. I haven't had a fill yet... but get this. Ate something and was so nauseated I resorted to sticking my finger down my throat an making myself puke. Guess what... Cant puke! What does that mean? I needed to bad and had just ate the food... but couldn't bring up anything. Now I am worried band not in the right place or something. What do you guys think???:guess

Ive not been in this very long and am surely not an expert ha ha But for me this is normal. I cant puke either. On the other hand a friend of mine said if you try you could have slippage. I'm not sure how true that is. Im curious to see what your responses are.

If you haven't had a fill chances are you were not stuck. It depends. If you were stuck there is no gastric juices in the pouch. therefore, when you PB not much food, if any, comes up. It's different. If the food went through what you may be feeling is irritation in the esphogus and not really stuck. This is probably not making sense, but things are different. That feeling of being stuck can be just irritation and the food has already gone through.

I wouldn't try to throw up. That's not good and you probably haven't been banded very long. Did you eat something you were not supposed to, or ate to fast, or too big of bites?

Guys, I am new to this site, so hello. I am here to tell you, do not puke! I am on my second band because my first one slipped. There is no way to know for sure what caused the slip, but it was probably my puking! That was a $15,000 lesson!

Never good to induce vomitting.

If you are nauseated, call your doctor and ask for a liquid anti-nausea/anti-emitic. A tsp of anti-emitic isn't going to cause damage, vomitting can.

:focus: :violin: :confused: Listen, my friends...remember, remember, remember, you must eat tiny bites, do not eat fast, chew a lot before swallowing, do not eat more that a cup of food at each meal. Go to fitday.com and start recording your food intake to help you realize that you really ARE getting the amount of Protein required. You will be surprized, and you will learn that we really are what we eat, and all of us have eaten TOO MUCH. Hence, the band. Accept the challenge, turn away from your old habits. Change your relationship with the friendly food so you can get out there and have fun!

If these suggestions aren't followed, you WILL be nauseated, you WILL vomit, you WILL have stomach pain, and eventually you WILL NOT lose weight. I'm sorry but it's true. It's taken me 3 1/2 years to figure this out.
