I have had the lap band for almost 2 years now and am still having difficulty eating anything other than soup. The soup has to be pure broth, no chunks of anything. I have trouble sleeping lying down for weeks at a time. I constantly feel like anything I eat is going to come back up (or does). I have lost weight but not what I expected for what I am able to eat now (or lack thereof!). Does anyone have any suggestions or has anyone experienced these issues...and know what I need to do to get back to feeling normal? I'm afraid to losen the band in fear of gaining weight as a result. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!
