Grider

Take a pribiotic/ crush it- every morn with coffee,,, did the trick before and after lap band- n more water-. some peach or apricot negtar juice everyonce in a while,, do a nice job,,.

I thank you for the fast response, I hope its just muscle strain,, taking my nexium and no gym but let's see my my GP can shed some light, I used to have more restriction, and now-- zip- the nurse said I probably cleared it all out-- like a plubming clog-- ahg,, but I am not comfortable at all. , what is so weird 1st day my port hurt, now it's change to my sternum area,, so weird!,only one other thought- my hatial hernia- it was repaired, hope its not been affected.

I expereinced same, Sat, I did BP but right after I wreched and the pain went to my fingertips like someone had hit me with a base ball bat across my back, last 2 days pain in middle of my sternum area, but I feel fine and not nauseous, I called surgeon they said i was fine, but I feel like a knife is stuck in there,,, did I bust my hernia?? have a slip?I see my reg GP tonite, but i am very worried- as there is no restriction , just that pressure in my chest

I got stuck like never before yest on bite of scrambled eggs. - the problem- is that I did vomit- like one violent deep burp just once but down in my gut- but with it, the worse shooting pain that went all the way from my back to my arms and fingertips ? a few minutes later I was able to finish breakfast n been sore above my port for most of the day. Took some tylenol and just had a salad which went down afully easy? Could i have popped my band? the pain is gone, just a little sore, but i was bit sore from Fri work out at gym.. no other symptoms except the salad went down with NO fight and that surprized me. I felt like I had craked my back,,, could it have been gas or a muscle spasm? anyone?

In FLA- but You can join our group in MYFITNESSPAL.com I am Griderrr..

Per Drs office, my band should be fine, prob had muscle spasm.. because i can eat n what ever, now.

I had one stuck incident I vomited the contents once with alot of pain- but now NO restriction, I used to feel restriction in the morning etc and zip? all food going down just fine??

callin dr sigh

trouble w forum and my posts,,, i cant see them when I try to see answers to questions???

I do not know what to answer except since I got banded, when I feel pain anywhere in my stomach area, I take milk of magnesia and clear everything out and then feel fine. I do not know if because i am so short wasted or what it all crunches together. Sat. however, i had shooting pain after a BP- and trying to see why I have no restriction now..???

I see my reg Dr tom, lets seee what he thinks.

I have hypothyroidism but the Dr reduced my meds since I lost the 41 lbs. up for an appointment tomorrow to see where I am at with that

there is a "Florida group" on here,,, there are a few gals from there

i wished we could have a way to check ourselves,,,

the chriroprator twisted me like a prezel n sent me on my way. said i was over compensating on my left side. I should feel better now, let see what reg Drs say about knees. did water n reg circuit with weights,,, no zumba yet. sigh

Noone here has mentioned where their band is... I have not lost anything in 3 mo- but only at 5cc or close to that... anyone?

donuts are bad,,, never again for me... they swell like cement- I think you are eating too fast but also the carbs,,, tortilla, donut- crackers etc do NOT do well with a band. try eleiminating those things and really chew and see if that helps.. papaya pills sometimes make it all go down. OH I do not eat well at all when I have sinus... and feel like a fish in a bowl of water..

good luck on your journey -some do better than others, Im probably older and with the blessed thryroid issue. that does not help

I hate plateous.... hate them cause you do everything right and nada,,, then you get off the plan and still nada,, and then you upgrade on your plan n still nada,,, see Dr for fill in Sept.. at 5cc now so and guess it's time.I was hoping to do this on my own by now,,, ???

not even close... not sure what happens when you don't... noone has said.

Coughing could be a cold, sinus, allergies, not always the worse, a band problem. I hope it is NOT- let us know.

I jump about a little thanks God no one has caught me at work doing it yet, but if it's mild it will drop in , if not out it must come.. the papaya pills are a charm.. I have noticed for me the sinus'allergy season is murder. Today i was able to eat just fine- Ate the same thing last week with my allergies going nuts- I couldn't swallow it with out getting stuck.. weird,,, but we learn as we go..

I just ordered a pair of dancing sneakers for the knees, I did have bad shoes for those workouts, hope this will help the ole knees. I was wearing flat sneaks so I could pivot --BUT no support,,, ouch
