once you adjust,you will be fine...its a learning curve for all of us but you will be fine.What you are feeling,we all have felt that at one stage or another. Hang in there,once you reach you sweet spot and start to see the results,you will love it. -

cindie74 replied to amberd910's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
how do i get one,i havent recieved one as yet and i was banded 28th of jan 09 -
I love my band,I love my weight loss but God how i wish i could sit down and eat a hearty big steak or a big bowl of pasta.I miss my food so much. Dont get me wrong,i dont regret what ive done because eating like that was how i got morbibly obese in the first place,but it doesnt mean i dont miss it. i am so sick of pbing after each meal and things getting stuck and hurting,but i still wouldnt go back to the way i was,im just needing to vent. lol

6th fill and can't keep anything down
cindie74 replied to lsullivan68's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
hi,after my last fill 3 weeks ago,i had the same problem (even posted it on here,asking for help myself),was very scary especially when i couldnt even hold down fluids but it did eventually loosen up.By the second day i was able to drink fluids,not in big gulps but in small frequent sips,and if that fails you could try sucking on ice blocks or icypoles,or even a wet face washer if you dont want to get an unfill,like i didnt. i will say though,after 3 weeks i am still having problems eating which really frustrates me,especially when im hungry,and i am having my hair falling out and bruising which i know is not good,but i am being able to keep small amounts down now.unlike when i first got the fill. I have got 6.2 in my band now and have heaps of restriction. Im not saying this is the way to go,but its the way i chose and all the best to you. -
