Ok so i had my 2nd fill on 12/5 i have a total of 3.5cc in my 10cc band....Lately ive been noticing that food gets stuck alot more now than my 1st fill (probably have more restriction) I throw up almost every other day or so i try not to (i need to slow down with eating)...well last night stupid me decided to try some of my sons soft pretzel and it got stuck...i threw up 3 times (of course not real throw up because it didnt make it below the band) well i started noticing later on that night that my throat was killing me (like a sore throat when ur gettin sick)...today it feels a little better (probably because i took tylenol) but im a little worried did i do something bad to my throat? and also i was sitting on the couch and bent over to pick my son up and i kinda felt somethin move in my belly?? im sure it was just a muscle but it was really weird..do u think im 2 tight? Water and liquids go down fine and so do certain foods i think i need to avoid breads..i guess this fill is working than? what do u think?

Sounds like your throat may just be hurting from the throwing up. I just got my 3rd fill yesterday, so still on liquids. I would definitely avoid the bread if it's giving you trouble. If you can eat some foods like tuna, chicken, etc then you probably aren't to tight. Remember to take at least 30 minutes to eat. If you can eat high Protein foods when you eat slowly, you are probably ok. If you can't keep down any food even when eating slow, I'd go back and get some taken out. And, it may be your port you feel when you bend over. I have a lot of movement in mine - it even sticks out some times! My doc says some of the stitches on my port probably came loose but they won't worry unless they can't access it at all. I think I started running too soon after. Either that - or all the crazy "adult activity" I started when I lost my first 20-30 pounds!

I also think it could just be sore from throwing up. I would just give it a little time.

You seem to be throwing up more than is normal if it is happening every couple of days. Try eating a little slower and chewing more to avoid it. Another thing I did is I would have something like plain yogurt, or a lowfat sauce or something along that line with some Proteins that I knew were harder to get down.

If you continue to throw up regularly, you should get a very slight unfill. It is harmful to your band to continue this way.

      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! 😞
