Oh my, I am 3 1/2 months out and this morning was the first time I ever got anything stuck. I always feel tighter in am and pm, but in middle of day I feel like I'm starving. I had a scrambled egg this morning and all of a sudden my shoulder and chest started hurting so bad I couldn't hardly breathe. I walked around, drank water and nothing. I finally made myself throw up and hardly anything came up.. I don't get it. I have been sore all day and what's ironic is I'm suppose to have a fill this afternoon. Life with a band! But don't regret it. I have lost 39 pounds, but in last month have only lost 2, but I am losing inches. I feel like I have plateaued with the scale.

i am glad you are ok! Omg that is so scary :Dancing_sorry: I would of been freaking out

Alot of time people feel tighter in the morning. Don't try to eat solid foods if it is too tight. Some people will drink warm liquids, and that will help open the band. If you are more hungry in the afternoon, I suggest that you eat a healthy snack mid morning between breakfast and lunch. That way at lunch you won't be famished. I had the shoulder pain also when things would not go down right. Very painful. Don't drink when this happens, it only makes it worse. Don't base your fills by the calendar, base them on how your able to tolerate food. If you are tight in the morning and at night, I personally wouldn't think I would get a fill. Being overfull is alot worse than not being full enough. But that is a personal preference. I like to be a little loose, because I exercise alot and I like to have enough nutrition in me to get the most out of my workouts. Let me know how your feeling.

Be sure you share this with your doctor. Most people say to stay on liquids for the day if you have that sort of trouble so everything can rest inside.

There are a lot of people who are tighter in the morning, and a lot of people who can't eat eggs at all.

Thanks for replying. I had the fill from hell that same day. I now think it was a sign. It took the dr. 30 minutes he was sweating , I was sweating, but finally got it, I am way bruised and sore, he has never had a problem before. After 5 days of liquids and mushies, I actually ate normal today. I finally feel restriction and have lost 4lbs. Go Band.
