[the best me 6]

This is really great news!!

I'm asking because of that one post on your other thread making so much sense about eating food at night and going to sleep with all this food in your pouch and causing swelling overnight and tightness in the mornings. Do you, in your experience, find that to be valid?

I love the foods you listed above...good for you! That's much better than juice, milk and mashed potatos only. yay!!! You are gonna drop the pounds!

This is really great news!! (till I get a fill)

I'm asking because of that one post on your other thread making so much sense about eating food at night and going to sleep with all this food in your pouch and causing swelling overnight and tightness in the mornings. Do you, in your experience, find that to be valid?

(I dunno....I dont think so.. there is NO food in my pouch... at night the food all goes right through... I was washing all the crunchies and mushies down with milk and juice.. Nothing was staying in my pouch... If I had food in my pouch I can feel it...................and I dont think it was all that much food held in my bottom tummy that would cause it... It wasnt like I was engorged or anything..

So no, not in this case..

I think I have a sensitvie stomach or what ever the band irritates. cu

At surgery I was pumped full of anitinflamitories and on IV......coulnd handle ice chips while all the other ladies walked free with their gatorades... I still wasnt able to drink Water when I flew home but Ortiz said as long as I can tolerate my saliva, the swelling will soon go down... it did in a day or two.

Then...I got a fill that Martinez Meticulously made sure was good and not too tight and I was fine UNTIL it must of swelled on the plain ride and closed me off. cuz I ended up with a 9hr pb and 40 hr choking on saliva and emergency unfil........... THAT FILL WAS FINE untiil it swelled.

So I figure I am sensitive to swelling..

I definate swelled alot during my period last week.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>SOMETHING happens as we sleep... to make the band tighter, I assume due to swelling..... I think cuz I am shown to be sentsitive to swelling and because.. I have extreme tightness upon waking that goes down throughout the day until its normal at late night.... I mean 3 ounces of juice and my chest hurts at 9am,,,and by 9pm I can eat all that stuff....

THATS TOO much of a difference and I Want medical care to make it less likely to swell as much.. poo

I love the foods you listed above...good for you! That's much better than juice, milk and mashed potatos only. yay!!! You are gonna drop the pounds!

>>>>>>>>>>>>I am not convimced.. I am eating more and how can I lose if I am eating more?...
