Hey Bandida are you able to get liquids down ok and do you know what got stuck?

It's weird.i stil can eat and nothing comes back up...When i burp it feels better but then little by little the feelings come back..now I'm not sure if it's food stuck or gas stuck..I'm so confused, the MD said it might be both...but because food is going down with little problem he wants me to wait it out...:faint: so now I'm just...waiting....with little patience adn much pain....:think

I've been doing o.k. I've lost another few pounds. I've done well with the eating, but I haven't been exercising like I should.

I had a fill on 2-14-07. One day of liquids and now on pureed Protein.< /p>

I have a question, though. I have had a pain in my stomach and I SWEAR that it's from my band. It hurts when I strech or bend over. My doc said that it was my port, but I know exactly where my port is and this isn't it. It's about 3 inches below the middle of my breasts. And it HURTS! Anyone exerience this?

Well, happy early b-day!!!! You know what..I think a little is ok. Just don;t go over board. My nutritionist always tells me, if you want something, try it...(obviuosly not yet for me) but the band is there to help control your appetite not cut it off completely, plus if you don't have any it's more likely you'll binge later..just a thought..:)

It sounds like you might have some built up gas bubbles causing some pressure...I know that those can cause alot of pain and it will just go away on its own, but then again Im not a dr and it might be something totally different from what I am thinking...Have you tried taking some gas x??? I have heard that that stuff really does wonders

Same for you as for lala, I would try some gas x and see if it helps at all...It usually works wonders...Right after my surgery my gas bubbles felt like they gathered in the middle of my chest and in my shoulder blades in my back..I know that it can cause alot of discomfort and pain

Thanks avilla, ever since surgery gasx is my best friend...:) ..I did end up going to the Md's and had an xray..there is so much air build up in my stomach and it is so swollen that it's hitting my diaphragm. The md said it could be many things and he didn't want to sweat it. I just have to stay on liquids to see if it helps and I go back to see him next week..I hope eveything will be ok..I'm a little nervous as well as scared..To get this far and have to turn back would really suck...:think

Bandida, keep your chin up...That air has to come out sooner or later and you will feel 100% better...I know that going back to liquids right after you were starting to get a few tastes of mushies is really going to stink...Why would you say you might have to turn back? Did the dr say that the air might push your band out of place or something?

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
