I have been taking Bariatric Avantage Vitamins since April 14. Can you tell me if there are other vitamins out there that your Dr. may have recommended? I would like to try something over the counter but not sure of what is good. Please give me some advice on this. Trish

I was banded on April 14 and had my first fill on May 16. It seems like every time I eat anything except for certain few things I will PB or simply throw up. I can't eat many things at all. I don't have any problem with any slider foods but other things I do. I can eat refried beans and hard shell tacos fine. It seems anytime I prepare a meal at home,I will get sick. Please tell me what this could be coming from? I feel fine but am scared to try anything. I even threw up when I ate Special K / Protein Cereal with milk. I can eat yogurt, pudding or things like crackers fine. Any advice on what to do? I didn't know if I should call the surgeon. I am going on a vacation in a week and am worried about what I should do.

As you all know we are told to eat chicken,turkey,fish and hamburger. Well I am 5 weeks out from surgery and for some reason I have problems with chicken or tuna. I had my first fill last week and I didn't know if that was the reason. I don't have any problems with ground beef at all. My Nut. said to stay way from chicken because some banders just can't tolerate it. My question to you is then what do you eat. Chicken has always been a main source of protein for me. Are there other meats that I can try? I actually have gotten stuck and that was not any fun at all!! I guess this is a learning process and I will just need to find out what works for me. Any helpful suggestion will be appreciated! Trish

I am four days out from having my Lap-band Surgery. Today I have been having something that I think is Reflux. What does it feel like? I have had to burp more today and what ever it is it is located where you would have heart burn but it isn't heartburn. What can I do for this? It feels really tight in the upper part of my chest and I can burp and help it a little? I am still on a liquid diet but tomorrow I can start adding things like yogurt , pudding, protein shakes. Please help me!!

My surgery is April 14. I am already on the Pre-op diet. I am getting excited also. All of my appointments are finished and now just the wait!!
