I need yalls help. Im kinda freakin out a little bit and dont know whats going on. So last night i had a rather large bite of a hot dog and small piece of bread. I made a mistake and took way to big of a bite. As im sitting there at the table its hurting to go down. So i excuse myself and go to the bathroom to "pb" it up. Since then- everything I've eaten (minus liquids) is coming back up. Like it will hurt to go down then i go to the bathroom to "get rid of it" I went to my doc last week and didn't get a fill. Ive been at 7.3 cc's for a few months and have been fine. Until now. Will this feeling pass? Will i be able to eat again? Do i need to call my doctor? They don't open till monday. Any assistance would be helpful. Im a bit nervous. Hope i didnt screw something up inside Help please!

Wow thanks guys. I did feel like maybe something is stuck. Ill try your suggestions. Thank you!!

In the beginning i was a youtube fanatic. Watching everyone's journey giving me high hopes for mine. People weighing about the same as i did in the beginning have lost nearly 70-80 lbs by now (almost 7 months post op). And i can now say I've lost almost 50. Its a size able amount but i still have 80 left. Now youtube just makes me feel discouraged and that i may be struggling or may have issues. In the past 3 months i may have lost 10 lbs. the weight loss has come to a screeching halt. Anyone else get where I'm coming from?

Anyone in austin? Dont know anyone here who has had this and am looking to make some friends and support each other

So i took a promotion at work and its been insane. I went from having a pretty good grip on my job and thinking it was pretty easy to working 12 hour days (14 with drive time) forgetting to eat lunch, barely eating Breakfast then stuffing my face at dinner. I havent been working out because im so tired when my days done. I work in property management- does anyone else know what i mean? Feeling a little down tonight. I havent gained but i havent lost anything in a month :/ Lost a total of 44 lbs since jan...

I dont knownof normal or not but right after i wasn't hungry at all.. My body was too swollen to be hungry... Hope someone else can help you more :/

Basically as soon as i woke up i was asked to wAlk around. Then do a bariatric swallow.. Then i was gone! Surgery was totally worth it! 3 months post op and nearly down 40lbs. Slower than they want but i dont care. Let me know if i can answer any questions for you. I was addicted to this app before surgery

Youre right!!! 2 lbs isnt anything. No big deal. Im sorry about your doctor. Must have been a bad day. No worries.. Youll get back on track In the long run 2 lbs is nothing

My doc says nothing to eat or drink 2 hours before

I messed around with my iphonography app. But my pics i don't have two chins anymore! Haha! Great feeling. Almost 40 lbs gone since pre op diet started on 1/11 and surgery 1/25! Where'd you start to first see the weight drop? I think mines in my face first then works its way down.

Its the kit cam app.. I love it! It costs 99cents but its worth it!

Anyone have any good soup recipes? Im on liquid diet toll friday and my routine of protein shakes and Campbell's soup is getting old!

Every time i go in for a fill lately theyll say.. Your almost to the green zone! They say most people hit it between 5 and 6 ccs. But i dont even feel close? Last night i was eating dinner with friends who eats fast and after i found myself taking normal size bites and eating nearly the same speed as them. It feels like i dont even have the band? I feel bad telling my dr that i dont feel close to the green zone when everyone is telling me i should be there or almost there

During thAt time i lost 10 lbs or so, not too much, but i wasnt really concerned about it. The first couple weeks after surgery ate for healing not losing.

Ive only lost 17 lbs since surgery on 1/25... Is this normal?

It may be scar tissue. All of my incisions have like a hard ball underneath. No big deal. U can try to massage them out..

Anyone know any good 15 min ab workout videos? My surgeons office recommended i begin doing this daily. She said i could find some good videos. Sooo thought id as yall

How yall doing? Me: not the best :/ banded 1/25 and down 15 lbs since surgery. I have 4.5 ccs in and am hungry quite often so then i eat too much. And i probably could be making better use of my calorie intake. I go in for another fill tomorrow. And i havent really lost any weight since last appt 2 weeks ago. (Although im on my period and may be retaining Water?) i dunno for some reason im just kinda down

How yall doing?

I was banded 1/25/13 in san antonio. The team was amazing! And so was dr. Esquevel (forgive me for the spelling) Highly recommended to anyone!

Damn! Gorgeous skin color!!! Jealous!

True results is who i went thru! I was banded jan 25th and love the staff (in austin) but ive heard positive reviews about true results all over the place. Im just concerned about after care for you. They want u to come in every two weeks if possible for fills and checkups. I dont see how you would so it? If you figure out a way to get banded at true results and after care where u are then go for it! Everything ive read says aftercare is probably the moat important part bc it keeps you accountable

This may be a dumb question, but can you get a tax break/credit if your self pay for lap band?

I feel the same way kershe. I was banded 1-25 and i often find myself thinking.. Damn shouldn't i be losing more? But in al reality 30 lbs in 2 months is great. We need to lose the weight slowly.. For the sake of keeping it off, lessen the risk of extra skin and sometimes i think iy can be unhealthy to lose so much so fast. I feel your pain. But we just need to stay focused on the big picture. My goal is 8-10 lbs a month.. And in all actuality im exceeding that goal. Keep ur chin up!

How do you know if your in the green zone? I think i am? But how do u really know?
