So yesterday was my 2 month bandiversary and last month was quite difficult for me. I started anew at the beginning of this month and am doing much better. I've already lost a few pounds. I got my second fill on the 30th and was hoping it would do something for me because I previously had no restriction at all. Well, last night I went to Boston Market and got a chicken dinner with mac and chesse, sweet potatos and cornbread. I was able to eat about half of it and I felt sick I was so full. I went and stood over the toilet for a minute because I got this rush of saliva and couldn't stop spitting and then the food just came back up. I didn't even try, I gagged twice which I was worried might make the band slip, but I'm so happy I had that reaction. It means I finally have some retriction. It was like I had taken one bite too many and my body said "No."

I also learned that I need to eat more solid foods. I hadn't realized it until I ate chicken and bread, but I've been eating lots of soft foods. Like stage 2/3 kind of foods. Fish, puddings, Jello, Beans, soft vegtables, potatoes etc... and the food goes down too easily. I ate chicken and got full fast. Anyway, here's to a much better month and hopefully watching the scale go down!

I know exactly what you mean. I had my first fill on Friday and up to that point, I didn't feel like I had any restriction (well not since I had been able to eat regular foods) but on Sat. night I ate one too many bites and my body told me no way! I never did have anything come up but my mouth was so full of saliva like I was going to get sick that I just kept spitting and spitting. In addition to that it hurt! So I was so glad too that I finally knew what it felt like and to know that I really had some restriction!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
