I just had my port repositioned 4 days ago because it was flipped. They adjusted me at the same time but only a small adjustment (.5cc) so now I'm at 6.5cc and now I feel like no matter what I drink/eat...I feel so nauseous and nothing takes that feeling away. My doctor said there was nothing I could do but let it pass but now I'm at day 4 and liquids and purées all make me feel like I wanna throw up! Help?!! I can hold everything down but the after taste makes me feel so nauseous and I feel like this all day..

I think I will go to pharmacy tomorrow and find out about that..thanks! And my nausea does cause me to loose my appetite but when I eat a little something I feel better and then about 10-15 minutes later I feel sick again...

I went for an upper GI and to have an adjustment in radiology because my doctor couldn't feel the port well enough to do the adjustment in the office and during the X-ray the doc saw it was flipped on its side. I didn't have any pain around the port area and would have never known otherwise. You can always ask them to send you to radiology to check it out. Hope this helps and you feel better!

hello fellow bandsters!...i'm still here doing ok...at a standstill right now with weight loss, but hopefully i can get my 2nd fill this week!...i have 3cc's in my 10cc band right now and i have no restriction at all!....hopeing after this week oi'll be back to loosing the weight!...congrats to everyone on such great weight loss numbers! i'm jealous! lolz

April 26, 2010 I Don't eat as healthy as i should, i'm still trying to figure out what exactly i can eat that will still go down...having some trouble with a lot of foods, but still doing ok! I exercise 3-4 times a week for about 45-60 minutes of cardio and then i do weights for about 30-40 minutes a day. I have lost around 60lbs, give or take a pound or two. I am very happy...definately glad i had the surgery just wish i would of did it 2 years ago!

Just came back from vacation and I'm not looking forward to tomorrow's weigh in! lolz

Can't get into speadsheet either :thumbup: .....I think imma shoot for 15lbs....didnt quite make the 25lbs for the 4th so 15 it is...if i loose more then great :thumbup: .....GOOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

down 6lbs this week!...my 25lb goal was definately a reach lolz..I'm lucky if i end this challenge with 15lbs lost....Count me in for Labor Day this time i will set a realistic goal....I Love these challenges it really gives me that extra push!...I agree Christmas is too far away....lets talk Labor Day then maybe Thanksgiving and then Christmas lolz

So i got my first fill of 3cc's yesterday and im hoping this gives me some restriction because i had none!...the scale has definately slowed down and stayed in the same range for weeks...hopefully 3cc's is good enough for now... i dont feel any different when on liquids so i guess I'll find out monday when i can eat solids again.

I know that the only way you can eat bread is if it's toasted, but what about muffins, waffles & pancakes? Are these all a no no because they are breadlike too?? I am finally on regular foods again after 6 long weeks and now i feel like I'm afraid to eat anything! lol

I was banded April 26th and have lost 26 pounds since surgery...50 all together. My 6 weeks post op appointment is in two weeks and i feel like i need some restriction...i plan on calling them on monday to find out if i can have a fill on that day and how much it costs!...the even more good news is im finally in twoderville!!...havent been there in about 8 years so im very happy with my weight loss so far!....its time i get back in the gym and really shed these pounds! i'm also thinking about hiriing a personal trainer so i wont have so much xtra skin!

Congrats!!! I know that is such a great feeling....I cant wait til i get there just 5 more pounds LOL

ok so i was banded on 4/26 and im at the puree stage of this post-op diet and i am starving!!...i feel like i have no restriction and i am sick of eating eggs and yogurt all day....i dont like cottage cheese,tofu,hummus,fish or peanut butter so im pretty much screwed when it comes to what i can eat right now....im scared to puree a dinner because i just dont see how that tastes good.....any suggestions on what to eat or how to puree would be very helpful!!!..i feel like im so stuck for the next 5 days until i can finally go to soft mushy foods at least then i can have some chili and oatmeal....Thanks in advance

Thanks everyone I am going to try pureeing some foods in my blender and see how that goes, i must admit im a little nervous lol....my nutritionist is stressing high protein foods only so its tough, only 3 more days and i can do soft foods...yay!
