hello everyone!! I had a fill in May..just recently I have been experiencing not being able to eat solid foods..and when I do try I vomit. i have lost 50lbs so far and am sooo excited about this!! But this vomiting and that feeling of food being stuck is painful and embarrassing when I'm in public. I really don't want to have my band fill reversed because I am loosing weight..does anyone have any suggestions? Eggs are even difficult! Please help!!!:w00t:

PS: Grate some fresh ginger and put it in a mug of hot water with a teaspoon of honey - home made ginger tea! Works wonders when your tummy is upset!

Just wanted to let you know - I went to the doc today for an unfill. They took out 1/2 of what they put in Tuesday. Yesterday was the WORST DAY post surgery I ever had! Today, I'm back on track and feeling great!

You'll notice my ticker went down 6 pounds (in 2 days)- trust me when I say - that was the worst 6 pounds to loose throughout this journey. I'm thankful for all I read on this thread b/c it helped me urgently get in for an unfill. Thanks!

Ok everyone... I have been here before and I seem to have the same questions over and over... I guess I am still having a HARD time transitioning. My brain wont cooperate with my tummy!! I had a SMALL fill yesterday (.2cc) I told my doctor that FOR me 4 weeks after a fill is when I start to feel like I can eat. As little as that is!! I am 5 months post op and down a wonderful 65lbs. The problem today is I was stupid to think I could tolerate something I could a week ago. (Chili!!) 2 spoonfuls and my day is RUINED!! anyway I have a few questions maybe some of you old time vets can help me with. First... what does being "swollen" after a fill feel like? how do I know if I am swollen and how do I know when to TRY solids? Next.. when I do have days like today( I pb'd those two spoonfulls btw) how do I make my tummy not feel so BLAH!!! AND I have such a hard time sipping!!! how do you MAKE yourself sip??!!! I am such a gulper I have a hard time not doing that!! How much time should I give the liquids b4 I re-attempt solids??

Please help!!!

Hi, I was just wondering if your doing any better now? I have noticed that it takes me 2 good weeks to get over a fill. Then I'm fine and the weight starts coming off. When were you banded? I was banded 3-10-08 and I have lost 52lbs. now

Glad you're feeling better! Tell me how do you change your ticker, I cant figure it out. Thanks

Well It's a week today and I AM better. Still small amounts of liquids and small small amounts of food but I am not a UNHAPPY as I was last week. And BONUS I am down another 6 pounds. I am hoping that the next week will bring better results(eating). I was banded March 7th 2008!! so we are pretty close! KEEP IN TOUCH!!! I need banded friends!!! lol

Hang in there, it should get better. You weight loss is great! I'm jealous. I'm only down 52. But thats better than nothing

Hey how do you change your ticker? I cant figure it out.
