I have a 10 cc band with 6.5cc in it and from day one it was the green zone for me. I did and do get stuck sometimes (most often )I ate to fast or to big of a bit like you said its a learning process. I have had a cold lately and it seems to happen more often I figured it was just irritated by the cough and sinus draining, The important thing is are u satisfied with a cup of food and are u ok for 4-5 hours inbetween is so then your fine if not you need a fill, after all that's what makes the band work with us. Sorry it was painful but that was then and this is now hopefull its better.

I also think you are eating to fast you need to put you first and take you 20 mintues and eat correctly, When you cant have a shake I always carry one in the car just incase..Do some planning on how you will eat and when,where..eating to fast, to big of bit, and not chewing to mush will all lead to getting stuck and vomiting. it would be better to drink something hot instead of vomiting.

You might need a fill are you getting hungry be 4 hours? the not being hungry keeps me motivated and that was what I did and it made a big difference. looking into a gym near you is a great idea.

I love me band also in time you will need a fill and be sure to get it when you need it. its wonderful to feel normal and not be hungry...,great work and keep it up

On any deit you will find that ladies don't loss on that week due to swelling some even gain just track it and you will see a pattern and know in the future.

if the vomiting is happning after you take the meds there are probably getting stuck because you are swollen in that area. keep on the liquids hot as much as you can for the swelling and the comfort on the stomach and rest with your heating pad. Pain meds can also upset the stomach your heating pad is probsbly working better then the meds it did for me.

to shrink your liver so they can get around that area better. I know its a bummer but how lucky you are that they are even working this week way to start the new year...2013 is look good

I agree with all the above eat anything you want and track it. Its about how many calories you take in and how much you burn off. my band wont let me eat to much which is the best part for me. So watch your portions and east what you want

me too never thought I could feel normal around food I am physical and mental full after a meal I don't think of food between meals,I feel it the band just repaired a defalt in this area and now its fountioning perfectly its all so new and it great...6 wk after you surgery and you are healed and rested you will be so glad you did this.

I agree its the meds also the anistedic they used in the surgery can do that pain med don't help with headache hot showers and a nap with a ice pack always help me.

do you have a digital scale? I did and changed the battiers and the number changed. remember you are still in the healing stage and retain a lot of water and you might not have weight loss because of it. I didn't really feel restricted until my 3 rd fill so be sure to ask how soon you can have another just to be prepared, I had a total of 3 for a total of 6.5cc in a 10cc band and it is really good... track all you put in your mouth and keep going this is the answer to weight loss I am never hungry so I eat on the clock to make sure I don't get to hungry and eat to fast this works for me very well. On my last fill I went in as said I hadn't lost in a month and it truned out I had loss 10lbs that's when I went and fixed the scale. good luck you can do it

and your colon makes a lot of noise so keep it and you moving.

fabulous good work 2013 is looking good

good post ty

fugde share please

you are doing great and its a good thing that you and your band are so good together. I wasn't even tho I lost I was so hungry in between and ended up having 6.5cc in a 10 cc band so I feel there is not flexibility in the band and so things get stuck if I am not carful.you are just proff that every one is different and the bottom line is we are all losing.

oh well, it happens

get to pooping so it gets out of there milk of magnesia is very gental on the stomach and works very well. and I agree with all the ones above....I even sat in the shower on my back heat, heat, heat this is the worst part life is better on the other side hang in there

Good will or other thrift store are cheap and they love your old ones.

sure it wont hurt you or your band. some folks say it slows down you weight loss but sometimes its just nice to have one. I have had one in the 4 mos that I have been banded...track it and what how you feel.

I haven't noticed a change but I have only been on 4 mos. good luck

wow, I sure hope I am not one of t to those people you are talking about. I think most of us thing we are being helpful and not rude and don't want to hurt some ones feelings but its hard to get your feelings I while writing a post. Me for one if I have been rude in any way I am sorry and it hunger talking....I hope everyone has a great weight success.

agree with the above but yes it does we all thought so to

my doctor said if its a stick just go ahead and pull it out and clean it up.

Oh honey you have had a tough time I am so proud of you for handling that so well Iam not sure I could have done so well. It is so much harder when others around you are eating things you cant for a while...hang in there this will get better and be sure to share with you hubby and ask for his help.
