    What foods can't you eat?

    Doughy bread is bad. Tortillas or wraps as well. You'd think a wrap would be good, but it's just bad lol!

    Help! Vacation

    I went away shortly after being banded too and soup was my best friend! I agree though, avoid the potatoes! Try to stay relaxed too. I notice if I'm anxious about food, I'm more likely to get stuck. Take a deep breath and enjoy the company! I usually eat something before I go out and then order a cup of soup and water or iced tea (no straw) and pick at the food. I go out now to socialize and the food is secondary.
  5. I can't believe it! Lol! I started taking zyrtec and some micinex and using the netipot. I can't believe what a difference it's made! I'm so relieved that it's not a serious issue too! I was so worried about losing my band! 
  6. My son did that to me about 2-3 weeks post op. I thought for sure there was something dislodged, but the dr said everything was in the right spot! I was sore for a few days, but back to normal soon after. Good luck!

    Wow! Great job! I was on vacation and realized that most of what I packed was too big. I ran in to Fashion Bug to get a pair of shorts and as I entered the sales lady asked if I was looking for anything in particular. I told her I needed a pair of shorts and she said "well your looking in the plus sized section, you'll need to look over here" and gestured toward the "regular" sizes. I was shocked and she was right! The 14s fit perfect! It's weird that I didn't recognize how much I've lost until that moment! Yay!
  8. Oh yeah, I've been eating normally since then too! That's why I'm so excited!
  9. Thank you all for your responses. I saw my surgeon on Tuesday and he sent me to have an ultrasound on my gall bladder and scheduled an endoscopy, which I had yesterday. My gall bladder is normal, no stones or anything and he said everything looks good with the endoscopy too, but I had a lot of mucus. I don't know if he just pushed it through or sucked it out, but I was starving by midday yesterday and I was not in my right mind and I just ate some crackers and I kept them down! I have no idea how or why this is happening, but I'm so happy! If it really is because of all of the mucus that was in there then I will need to make sure I don't get so filled up again. My husband got me a neti pot, zyrtec and mucinex to try. I did try the neti pot last night, but I haven't tried the others. Could all of this be caused by some stuck mucus?? I can't wait see me dr for my follow up!
  10. Hi all! Just wanted to give an update. I saw my psychologist and he doesn't think this is a mental thing. I have an appointment with my surgeon on Tuesday, so hopefully he can figure out what is going on. I'm still on liquids only, although, today was a really good day and I had some yogurt and a medifast shake! I was so excited! I'll update again after I see the surgeon. Thank you all for your advice and support!
  11. how did ur gi go? did u slip?

  12. Thank you so much! I will schedule an appointment with my psychologist as well. I haven't even considered that as an option. Thanks for the link as well. I'll look at it now!
  13. I can't keep any solid food down, not yogurt, pudding, nothing... Ugh! I don't feel like the dr is leaving me high and dry, not yet anyways. They will have to do something because I can't live like this forever!
  14. They first thought my allergies were the cause. I have never experienced vomiting from allergies, but I figured they know what they are doing. They seem kind of confused now too. They thought I'd feel better after the unfill, but it brought no relief. I had been on a liquid diet for weeks, so when they called to give me the results of my upper GI they said to try to eat something solid. So I made tilapia for dinner, I was able to tolerate it before and it's soft so I figured it was a good "first meal". I'm supposed to call them tomorrow and report my intolerance and schedule an appointment with my surgeon. Thanks for the story about Mandy. I hope I don't have an infection! I don't feel sick in any other way, but who knows! Thanks for your quick responses!!
  15. Hi all. About 6 weeks ago I noticed out of nowhere that my band was too tight. I had an unfill and after 2 weeks was still too tight. Went in for another unfill and they completely drained my band. I had an upper GI series on Monday that showed my band has not slipped. I still can't tolerate even the smallest solid food. has anyone one had this problem? The dr said I should be able to eat like I don't have a band (I obviously don't want to lol!) but after 2-3 tiny bites of baked tilapia I'm in the bathroom heaving. I don't know what to do! Thanks for you help!
