I tried that but unfortunately my body didn't like egg, but I've been having cottage cheese for the last 3 days, baby food chicken is decent if you are on the run 2.5 oz add some salt and ready to eat, I get full usually after 1.5 0z love it. Today I had stake, I was not able to finish the 2 oz, so happy before I need it a 11 oz steak to be satisfied. Sent from my SM-N920T using BariatricPal mobile app

I am doing 12 oz during the whole day, as per my doctor only 4 oz at a time. Today I started puree food m, so I was able to do 1.5 oz of chicken and potatoes. Plus of course my protein, water, tea and jello Sent from my SM-N920T using BariatricPal mobile app

Stay in liquid, I started puree today and I was dying, literally. I feel full with just one oz. Then the burping, the numbing of the arm, the tackicardia, the oxygen levels low. I panicked called the surgeon and he told me if I had fever, I replied, no, then he told me that it was a combination of dehydration and that my body was rejecting that food (boiled egg and cottage cheese blended), so told me to take more liquids and try again tonight, which I did, With chicken and potatoes, so far so good. Only 1.5 oz and I was full. Now I am feeling disgustely full. Be patient don't rush it. Sent from my SM-N920T using BariatricPal mobile app

I am dying here, thank God tomorrow I start puree diet in addition of all the liquids I am taking. I've been mostly in bed for the last 6 days so tomorrow I will go out, I need to do food shopping for my family, hope to have the energy to do all I have to do. I am grateful I am not hungry or in pain but I am bored. Just venting Sent from my SM-N920T using BariatricPal mobile app

I can't sleep either, and when I catch a nap I wake up to my own noises, my daughter said I was like trying to sleep talk. Since I can't sleep at night, I sleep mist of the morning so, no liquid intake and then I am weak and constipated. I have no pain, but yes some leg discomforts, but I had other surgeries and I know is the gas trapped. Sent from my SM-N920T using BariatricPal mobile app

Walking is not my thing this time around, thankfully I have not gas trapped in my body like the last time. I am dealing with insomnia and then napping most of the day. Hate it, tomorrow I change to puree diet. Let see if I have more energy. Sent from my SM-N920T using BariatricPal mobile app

Toytoy can you explain how did you feel before they empty it out?

On Thursday I had my dinner everything was good. I has quesadilla 1/2 stuffed with cheese and chicken, 2 oz of refried beens and 1 oz of guacamole. Lots of protein and good cholesterol. I took a Gas X right before I went to sleep. Well on Friday I woke up and tried to have my normal breakfast, a cup of coffee, a slice of bread and some cheese. I felt stuck at the first bite. So I stop eating, I took a gas x gel tab and I went on with my morning and about 11:00 am I felt hungry, since I was going out with my family to do some errants like 1 1/2hrs away I grab some Cheetos and a bottle of water. Cheetos is my weakness whenever I can not eat because my band is tight Cheetos will keep me alive. I ate like 3 Cheetos and a sip of water like 15 mins into the trip i started feeling sick, so stuck and uncomfortable. i grab a bag because I knew I was going to vomit. But I didn't I felt to sleep, 1/2 hour later I woke up vomiting the water, thank god I had the bag in my hand, i vomit orange water, even thru my nostrils, I kept vomiting for a good 15 min. Later on my family was hungry , there was not healthy options so I ended up eating some Chinese egg rolls according to them baked, they were good but after a while again I started vomiting but just the water. Saturday couldn't have breakfast after the first bite, i felt so full. I couldn't pass water or anything solid or liquid. I told my husband to be ready to take me to the hospital if i continued feeling like that i was getting dehydrated around 1:00 pm I started taking small sips of liquid protein, I manage to take in like 1 1/2 oz, I started drinking water and was feeling better and better. i went to a party and I had for the first time in 1 year and 3 months little sips of soda and I was able to eat some meat and potatoes salad. Today I had been careful but everything ok. I stopped using Gas X because went I was vomiting that was the flavor I can taste ... I think I had a bad reaction to gas X. Any similar cases?

Well ... I am completely unfilled, i struggled for 2 1/2 weeks and today I ended in the Emergency Room my doc unfilled my band. I need my strength to keep on my own loosing until the end of the month that I have to see him again.

I never in a million year thought I will ever be able to fit in my husbands shirts. And I did yesterday, he hanged one of his gym shirts in my closed by mistake, i told my daughter "see your daddy gave me one of his t-shirts I am going to put it on" honestly I thought I Was not going to be able to pass it by my arms but it when thru my neck and it came down not only easily but in top of the t-shirt I had on...what a great feeling I called him at work and I told him...he couldn't believe me. I was 3x he is M/L it depends in the t-shirt, now i am border line XL/L. Yes ...a lot of work but worth it. Sorry for the NVS.. I Meant NSV...couldn't fix it after I posted ????????!

I never had this problem and since I've been in the green zone I've been able to have a slice of bread for breakfast and some mozzarella cheese. I can not do eggs or vegetables anymore, i get horrible stuck episodes. I really believe that this is cause by stress, I am very stress out for the holidays. A lot of things to do before going overseas. I need to calm down and meditate more often. Thank you for your comments.

B-52 thank you for responding. I read that gas X was good for the burping, which I do constantly, i burp like a heavy beer drinker all the time. Even at night, I wake up in the middle of the night, full of gases, my chest hurt, I have to sit down and have a concert about 3 to 5 minutes of straight burping. It is embarrassing but is the way it is. I decided that I wont pay attention to it. If someone tells me something I will let them know that I can not controlled so i rather be healthy than polite.

It is important to have someone there after surgery. Be honest with her, you are an adult and you are the only owner of your life. Don't let her fears to rule your life.

Scale is my friend I have to get weight everyday as a reminder of how much I have accomplished and How I am in my journey to the ideal weight. By the way now using size L for pants jejejeje love it.

Congratulations and Happy Birthday! You are only starting to live, just remember that all beginnings are difficult and that it take work and dedication to break old habits. Do not get frustrated. By the way gas X strips are the best for gases.

Is there anyone from Hudson, Essex and Passaic counties here. I was thinking that we may want to get together and support each other. Any one thinks is a good idea?

Yes I am here... How are you ?

I usually asked to replace the 7oz for a 5oz and the vegetables for Mashed potatoes, since veggies are not friends of my band. I ask also for the Sauce to help food go down. I bet what happened to you was because of the veggies. Use a juicer to get your veggies in. The weight gain is gases ... I can easily get 5 pounds and loose it in hours because I get so bloated that I guess i retain liquids. I didn't start enjoying my green zone until I relaxed about what I ate and when I stop counting, for me counting calories and ozs was a trigger to my anxiety then I ate more.

All the beginnings are difficult. In your case you have to postpone the beginning of your journey to have a beautiful baby. after a year I still got stock I am in my green zone now and I get stock and vomit when I eat something that is not goof for me.. i believe each one of us had to find the perfect point to fill comfortable with the band. Take it little by little, small steps and you will see how pounds start coming off. Be positive, negativity will cause stress and stress anxiety, this is not a diet you are training for your new way of life.

Me alegro que tenga un foro en espanol pero me tarde mas de una hora en encontrarlo. Seria bueno que lo pusieran en el primer menu. I am glad that you created a Spanish forum but it took me an hour to find it. I will be good to put it at the beginning in the fist menu option. Thank you

In my case Water and wet food...sauces I use to like my food dry, now I have to have some kind of sauce or gravy. Also Beans, before they use to upset my stomach now I can eat them every day. What my body dislike now, that it use to be my favorite foods: Pasta pizza Semi cooked vegetables:broccoli, cauliflower, carrots (now I have to over cook them, make them really soft) Lettuce Egg, the only way I can eat egg is boiled and then smashed with mayo. If I eat eggs any other way I will be vomiting the whole day.

I usually loose weight during vacation, I eat when I am hungry and if I going to eat lobster I eat it the right way...with butter. In my case the quantity is were it has change, I usually order from the kids menu, sometimes they charge you an extra fee but is worthy because you get a small plate, some restaurants have that option too. Vacation is a drink a lot of water time, I think that is why I loose weight.

Well since I am getting lighter and lighter everyday ... I am getting more adventurous in the bed, last night I thought I was Superwoman and I got into a weird position...to make the story short I've been having pain all day in my port... But every time I feel the pain it all come back to me. Exciting! ???? I need to be more careful!

Today my primary doctor took me off Cholesterol medication... My last one. I am extremely happy. Surgeon wants to see me in three months and primary too. Green zone all the way. Loosing slowly but steady... Nothing is hanging at 46 my skin is behaving. I love love love my band and I am extremely grateful I took control of my life. Loving life living for real!

It happened to me recently a couple of times, In one occasion I was walking and I cough and suddenly I vomited, no nausea, right in the middle of my living room. I guess I ate a little more than I should eat. But I decided to go back to 6 oz of food and to watch for the sensation of not feeling hungry instead of feeling full.
