I just recently began using my cpap machine again after re-gaining about 10 pounds (eating a lot of junk). Now I can't eat anything without really bad pain from air on my stomach. Liquids go down fine, but anything solid causes extreme pain. I have had 2 refils, my surgery was in May 08. Any suggestions for this problem would be appreciated.

LOL to me the obvious...watch it, lose the 10 pounds, and d/c the C-pap machine! :biggrin: You can do it, assuming that is what's causing your gas? Otherwise, call your surgeon.

You know you can lose it pretty quick if you set your mind to it; you probably went through a lot to get the band. Don't let some non-nutritious selections derail you!

I am actually following my eating plan, but my husband told me that I had started snoring again and had stopped breathing in my sleep one night. I had not stepped onto the scale for a couple of weeks (busy with the kids) so I didn't notice the weight creeping up on me. Until I get the 10 pounds back off, I gotta keep breathing at night. I am stuck with the cpap until I make that happen. The really funny thing is that with all the pain from the air, I can't eat a lot of junk anymore!
