Thanks guys, I'm in the clear! I'm staying away from steak!

I'm 13 months post band. Overall doing very well. I had a small fill about a month ago and I have had a few vomiting episodes - most likely my own fault for eating too fast or too much. Tonight I went out for steak dinner - ate about 4 oz and tried to chew very well. I had a piece stuck which I eventually vomited. That was about an hour ago, but I'm still throwing up the clear stuff. Dinner was 3 hours ago. Anything I can do? Did my band slip?

Thanks Karen. I'm feeling a little better today. I managed to get some yogurt down. I'm going to stick with liquids and mushy food today.

Thanks Judy. I did have general (it was a big cyst). I have had sliming before, but not recently. I didn't have real pain, it just felt like it does when you do the slime thing...but I've never actually thrown up actual food before. I'll try ice. Thanks for the suggestion.

I'm 13 months post lapband and everything has been going well. I've lost 68 lbs. Today I had surgery to remove a cyst under general anestesia (sp). I has a small piece of lasagna for lunch and threw up the liquid I sometimes do if I eat too fast. I scrambled 2 eggs for dinner and did the same thing, then threw up the eggs. I have not actually vomited food since having the band My discharge papers say to call surgeon if I vomit, but I'm not sure if this is just a band thing. . Has anyone experienced this?

I'm 8 days post surgery and feeling really great. Pain is mostly gone except for the occasional shoulder pain. First post-op appointment is tomorrow. My incisions were glued and healing. They itch like crazy! I would like to put lotion on them but not sure if that's ok. I am drinking 3 5 oz protein shakes a day, obviously that's not enough protein but I'm afraid to drink more. I think I could get at least a cup down at a time but is that too much? I'm on full liquids and kind of struggling with when to eat what? Am I making this more difficult than it needs to be?

I wondered about the cheese sauce. I will be ordering some. Thanks

I'm still on week 1. This sounds interesting. I'll be checking it out. Thanks!

Same here LadyMarshall!
