I was not informed on a lot! If I was told that I had to follow a specific diet without restriction for months, I wouldn't have done it! I was looking for help! If I could follow a diet the right way with will power, I wouldn't need to go radical! Don't forget that it's easy to judge people, but you don't know what their life is like! It's supposed to be a support site!

Today I got tuna fish stuck! I've only been stuck two other times. Steak and pasta! Tuna is weird though! Anyway, today I actually got sick! Once it was up I felt better but now I have a dull pain in my chest and my throat hurts! Is that normal?

Got my 2nd fill last week and definally have restriction now! Well, my grandfather is in the hospital and between work and visits, no time to eat! I was starving! Well...I are too fast and .I got stuck! It hurt soooooo bad! I kept having to spit! I thought I was going to throw up ! Eventually it went down. I did spit up/threw up the tea I drank to try and get it down mixed with some plemn (sorry-tmi). Anyway, while I feel better, I don't feel right! My throat and chest kind of hurts! Is this normal? Not bad, but not right eithe! Ughhh!!!

Omg! I am in tears! I just got out if the shower! It's really coming out now! I lost 16lbs first two weeks but have not losses anymore so why? I am three months in! Tues I have my second fill and was hoping for restriction! I am freaking here! No restriction, no weight loss and now my hair is falling out!!!!! ($?!$&!?. That's a deal breaker for me! Taking my multivitamins, calcium, and protein shakes! And I am eating a ton of fish!!! I just can't do this anymore!!! I have four kids to worry about!!!! Wtf!?!?!

Nikki-I am going through what u are! It's so depressing! I feel like, if I could stick to this diet, I wouldn't have needed the surgery! Marci-ur post gave me something I didn't have......HOPE! U seem to have been here and said its ok!! No one has said that without a small peice of judgement attached!! Thank u! I would LOve to learn more from u if u have the Time! Krys

April I was banded! I can't stick to their diet! Too hungry! Ugh! How much protein should I be drinking?

Hi! I bet you I am worse. I just got banded in April if this yeAr. I am extremely hungry all the time! I've only had one fill and have another one next week! I'm mortified to go back! Both nutritionists are skinny b*****s who have never struggled with weight! They speak down to you! I lost 16 my first two weeks have have started gaining it back! I can't believe I am doing this to myself! I just can't keep to their diet. I'm too hungry! If I could diet and excerise with no problems, I wouldn't have needed the band!! Here is a new symptom....I'm loosing my hair now too! I don't know what to do! I don't want to give up but need help!!! At the moment I feel judged,I detach!! I haven't posted here in a while because of that! I want to start over but don't know what to do with the appetite! Can anyone give me positive advice that can help? Especially about my hair! Thank u for your time!!

I'm calm! Lol

I know how u feel! I'm supposed to be in my second week purée and I'm eating regular food! I'm hungry!!! A tablespoon is NOT ENOUGH! I love when people say just stop! If I could just stop, I would have needed this! Emotionally this sucks!!! I too don't know what to do!!!

Lulu, I did not mean to scare u! So sorry about that! Last night was a low for me! Today is a new day! I am being more positive today! I was told I would not be as hungry as before!!! This is what I was hoping for because I have a lot of stomach issues and unfortunately, some of these foods kill me! Someone told me to that I have to eat them.....I can't!!! I will figure it out!! I am determined to live to see my kids have kids so I need to figure it out! I am emotional due to pms so I sure that has a part of my rant last night! It's not a miracle!!!! I never expected it to be! I expected it to help though! Do ur research! I was too scared to do mine....I was even roomed with a women who had hers removed when I had mine done! Soooo I kind of started this out negative!! I am going to turn this around! I'm sure u will be better at this than me! I'm a baby!!!! Lol. Ttyl

2 weeks! That's all it took!! I'm failing!! I am hungry and eating regular! I make myself sick!! I am two lbs up! All I keep hearing is my nurse saying to me "wow 16 lbs! Good for u! You'll be under 200 in no time". That was tuesday! I'm having trouble with the foods this week and next! I hate yogurt, cottage chez, and farina!!!! It doesnt help that I am PMSING bad! And before any one judges that, ever since I took fertility drugs my periods r like I'm pregnant! I need chips and chocolate !!! I HATE chips!!! This is really sad! I feel pathetic!!!

I am in the same boat except I am only two weeks post ops!! I too feel like a failure and i feel like a complete pce of crap!!!' I lost 16 the week before and after...I am now up two and a complete mess!!! I am PMSING too! I have even eat cake and chocolate !!!!

Well.....it's official!! I'm doing horrible! We had company and I am eating regular! There was cake here, etc....I AM TWO WEEKS POST OP AND EATING REGULAR FOOD!!!! I thought this would help!! It's not! They gave me a very small list to eat for the next 2 weeks! I hate so much on there!!! I'm supposed to be purée! I hate cottage cheze, plain farina and yogurt! And suggestions? I am so depressed AND PMSING TOO!!

If I could remember to do all these things, weight watchers would have been enough! I am recently banded 4-2 and I cant stop drinking with meals! I thought I would be easy but it's not! I think its in my head but i feel like i m chocking on the food if i dont! Help!

I'm going to be completely honest! Even when they wheeled me into surgery my intuition was to run! I have four kids, work full time, and go to school at night! Really nervous about making this change... That being said, I had the surgery and my stomach looks like I been in a fight with Tison! My stomach is soooo sore. I am starving too, didn't expect that! I can barely get down the liquids and all I want is food, real food! I should also tell u I have IBS-d really bad and since I can only tolerate liquids I can't stay out of the bathroom! Was this a mistake or is all I am feeling normal? I'm going crazy thinking about never having a sub again or pasta!! I guess I should of just listened to my intuition! I wasn't ready for this!

Tahnee.... I'm glad I'm not alone but sorry your going through this too! I think I'm not drinking enough protein but unfortunately they are making me sick to my stomach. I know it's too early to freak out but it's what I do when I don't feel good! Hopefully that changes soon! What is this "stuck" thing u guys are talking about? I taking one day at a time!

It happened to me when I had my csections! They mess with the nerves in ur stomach when they cut u! It comes back but u do need to help it along! With my third, I actually watched a dirty movie with my hubby. This got me really going and then we tried and it was AMAZING!!! Give it time! U will get there!
