I have been having the same issues latey I know it is not good and I need to have some taken out today was my draw point ! I can't keep coffee or protien drinks down I haven't been able to eat sold proteins for almost 3 months (I just started a new job and the training is 4 mos and you can't no miss a day) so I just called and got a sat app to take some out I can't wait to eat more then coffee and tomato soup!!! Also I have had poor weight loss in 3 mo has been roughly 9 lbs and the last month I haven't lost anything! This is all my own fault I knew I've been too tight this whole time yet though I'd loose more then normal I was hard headed and wrong!! So I say before you blame your band think if it may be "user error" this is a tool and if your not following the guild lines it will not work for you!

Just started working for an insurance company and found out if you ask your doc for a script for your protien you can use your Fsa account to pay for it considering the funds in this type of account do not roll over to the next year it may be something to consider !

Had a fill today and it's been he'll today to get liquids down I tryed my protein and tomato soup noting stays down !! This is my 4th or 5 th fill FYI

I am 1 week post op and was expecting some pains in my shoulder and to burp like they told me well I have had neither issues instead I will have overwhelming pains in my chest like pressure or someone is stepping on me! is this normal? it does happen when I am drinking things but also when I am just walking driving or sitting arround almost feels like a wave of pressure is crashing over my chest and never last more than a few sec's

im not sure if its normal but just consider yourself lucky! I am 1 week post op and I feel mine every min though out the day it hurts more than the stitches

I am on day 11 of 14 day pre op diet and I am allowed 2 protein drinks a day with soup for one meal (not cream based) greek yogurt for snacks if needed. and today i blew it! I had a few (like 5) pizza rolls at my little brothers birthday party ! i am so mad at myself because I only have a few more days to go before surgery and I have been good so far! the doc didnt give me a set weight or % to loose should I be ok? I am set to be banded 1st thing in the AM on the 16th and I am hoping I didnt screw up to badly

what is the time that it took you to get surgery from your consult date ? I have tricare prime so I wont have the pysch or nurtrion evaluations .

So I really want this sugery and i have tricare prime, I have been reading that they are no longer requiring 100 lb rule that they are now using a bmi factor? what is the range that you would need to be in? I am 5ft and like 1/2 an inch that i will completely slouch down for if it helps and i seem to go between 199-195 (for the last 5 mos) GRR that puts me just under the 40 bmi I have no problem gaining a few lbs to get the band! but do i need the co factors too? I had high blood pressure for years and about 2 years ago i stoped taking my meds for it when i was pregnant and havent been put back on it would this count ? thanks any and all input would help
