Oregondaisy

I am not exactly sure where to post this. I know a lot of vets come here rather than newbies. I have been puking in my sleep. I don't know why. I am not tight. I never pb or slime. Nothing feels stuck. Then when I am sound asleep, something is coming up. Last night it was 4 different times. Called the doc this am and all they did was give me Nexium. I don't see how that is going to help as I already take Previcid every morning. I am going to put something next to the bed so instead of running to the bathroom ( sorry TMI) I can put it in a bowl or whatever to see if it's water or what it is. I have to take Ambien, to sleep, so I really can't take it earlier. Last night I stayed up half an hour after I took it, and slept reclining with pillows for awhile too. I noticed while running to the bathroom at one point, it was 4 am.

I don't even know what kind of batteries they are. They look like they could be batteries from a watch? they are about the size of a dime.

That throwing up in the night while asleep is awful. I don't get why it happens to me when I am very loose in the daytime.

At night I take my progesterone, and I have to take Milk Thistle for my liver. My sleep meds are either Ambien or Seroquel and I take a muscle relaxer flexaril. I sound like a druggie. Honest, if I didn't take a sleep med I would not sleep. And my back is really messed up so that is why I take the flexaril. I have been taking the milk thistle early but the ones to go to sleep, I have to take at bedtime. It's a problem. Phyllis, I wish I could have seen you while you were in the area!

Last I checked today, you were ahead by quite a bit.I wish I could vote from work.

How could I possibly be too tight when I can eat bread pizza (but I don't) or any food I could possibly want? I don't get why my problem is just when I am sleeping. I am taking my meds earlier now, but last night i was coughing again. I don't know what's going on.

Congratulations, Manatee! You look great. Sorry to hear your'e having band problems again.

I took Biotin for months and my hair fell out at 4 months and didn't stop or start growing back in until 1 yr post op. I eat a ton of Protein too. If the smelly urine is coming from no carbs, try eating some Kashi Cereal. It's whole grain which is good for us, and is high in Fiber. Going too low carb will cause constipation and that is not fun either.

I haven't read every page. Do sf fudgsicles count? I try to eat the weight watchers chocolate in little cups if I am going to eat ice cream. It's 140 calories. I have hard time on tues. when Baskin and Robbins sells cones for a$1.00 I need to give it up too. It's all I want when I am in a bad mood which seems to be often lately. I gained 5 lbs in Arizona from Cold Stone which I haven't been able to take off since I got home. I am glad we don't have Cold Stone here.

Those are fabulous BBK. You really know how to look sexy.

that is a great idea. Maybe people would share if they aren't getting there from penetration, what are they using? I bought a toy the other day. We've never used it. I was looking at it this morning and the batteries are dead. I must have left it on. I didn't know you could do that as you have to push a button to get it to start vibrating. Now I'm p.o.ed never used with a dead battery is just not right!

But how are you getting yours? From manual stimulation? From what I have seen on here, there aren't many that get theirs from penetration. We have just recently been experimenting with toys but so far, it makes him feel inadequate or something. I recently went to see my gyn, and we are going to experiment with some other hormones. It sucks getting old. There are so many changes in the body once you're gone through menopause.

I was never able to find the Tide me OVer protein packets to put in the water. The only thing I saw was crystal light.

yes food is going through the band if it's not tight enough. for some reason, the doctors want us to reach restriction slowly. When you are tight enough, you will know it. You will feel full with just a few bites and won't be hungry between meals. Just call for another fill and tell them you are starving all the time.

I would be a crazy person without my hormones.

I never knew about this stuff

I have been having that same problem. I know I am not too tight.I can eat anything I want and hardly have to chew like I used to . I have to be really careful to take my meds early in the evening or I end up throwing up water in my sleep. It's difficult because when I have back problems I need to take my muscle relaxer right before bed and I have to stay up awhile to make sure the water is not sitting in my stomach. I don't get it. Water should not be sitting in the pouch.

Is it acid reflux if it doesn't taste like acid? It's usually just water. I have been more careful not to snack in the evening because I don't want anything coming back up. I couldn't snack this evening if I wanted to. I ate too much dinner and I have been feeling so full all evening that it hurts.I hope I didn't stretch my pouch! I don't think I should be feeling this full since it's been several hours since dinner.

It has never hurt me to get a fill. Mine are over with in about 10 seconds. I have heard some doctors can't find the port right away and had to stick in the needle in more than once. They usually use something to numb the area first though, so it shouldn't hurt.

BBK I am so glad things are better. That is really good news. I will go and vote for you now! Last night was the first night in about a week that I did not puke in my sleep. I don't know what is going on with that. I have to take my sleep meds right before bed. I try to stay up half an hour after I take them but for some reason, lately after I fall asleep, water comes rushing into my mouth while I am sound asleep and it's awful. I know I am not too tight because I can eat anything I want to eat and don't have to chew like I used to. It really freaks me out when it happens and I know some of it is going into my lungs becase after it happens, I can't stop coughing.

Turler, I am sorry to hear that. I had that problem once. Went in for a fill and lost all my fill, then he filled me too tight because he thought I had a leak. I have been having problems in the middle of the night . It's wonderful to have lost all this weight but it scares me after I have heard that the band has damaged some people's stomach.

I am not sure. Had them both over for dinner this evening but everyone left at the same time so I didn't have the chance to talk to him about it before he left. It's awkward that's for sure.

AudricIan. it's so good to see you posting! Last I heard, you had a little bit taken out. Are you now able to eat small portions and stopped pbing? Congratulations on reaching your goal! Now you can post in the at goal forum! I am really happy for you. I wish I would have gotten the band years ago!

I wish it would stop me from craving sweets. When I am stressed out, I want to eat sweets. I guess it's the food addict in me. I am addicted to sugar and have much more trouble controlling it when I feel stressed out.
