Hi, I'm Barb. I was banded Aug 26th 2008. I've lost 27 lbs! I feel good most of the time. Occ., I'm Nauseated in the morning- not sure why. I haven't had any episodes of food getting stuck, or vomiting though. I don't know if the nausea is from what I ate, how much I ate, how well I ate it or something totally unrelated. Does anyone really know how long it takes for food to get from "the pouch" to the rest of the stomach? I still don't get it about the drinking. It's hard to know when to drink. What about when your meal consists of soup? If you drink this as a meal, couldn't you also drink with it? Is it just that it pushes the solid through quicker or can it make you nauseated? Someone, help the confused!!

Thanks for the reply. Sometimes, others can explain things in a more practical way. The nausea first thing in the morning can sound like pregnancy, but YIKES, check out my age--51!!
