I track my food and weightloss on MFP. I would really like some buddies to track with. I found a similar post but it seemed to be people who had the sleeve done and not the band. If you would like support and get support back please send me a request to..... simplybluerose or post yours and I will send you a request. simplybluerose

Has anybody had this happen or am I just crazy. For the last four days I have had trouble eating and keeping food down, but the temp have been anywhere from 1 to 20 degrees. Today the temp is 38 degrees and I haven't had one stuck episode today, except for a little sliming this morning when it was still in the teen's. Does the extreme cold weather affect your band?

Just type the username where it says email.

My pay for a fill is $80.00

I am trying this in the morning. I haven't had eggs in such a long time.

I just have the band... I also just think my band for whatever reason has just tighten up on me. That is why I was asking what they eat because at the moment even though I am not hungry, I couldn't eat pulled pork if I tried. On Monday I am going back to the dr.

OMG.... I am going through the same thing. I got a fill in the beginning of December and everything was fine, but the last week I have been so tight I can't eat. I also have been having heartburn the last 4 nights and sleeping on the couch with my head lifted, and last night was the worst night so far. I decided on Monday I am calling the dr because I am not sure what happened and see if I should get a slight unfill. I just don't like feeling this thight.

Just wondering if you have no hunger, when you do eat what does your meals consist of? I have no hunger but on Monday I am calling the dr. Because I think I am to tight. One day I can eat a little but most day I have trouble eating.

I am glad to hear that other people have experienced this. I always drink something hot in the morning to loosen the band up but for some reason for the last 4 days it was as tight as could be. I was about to go and get a slight unfil... But today I am doing good today since it warmed up some.

What brand?

I have had my band for over 3 years...the first two years I lost only 35 lbs, because I found away to eat around the band with junk food. Then when i went and had an unfill thinking I would try to eat healthy and all I did was start eating everything I could. Needless to say I gained the 35 lbs back. I was so sick and disgusted with myself I couldn't stand to take pictures with my grandkids. That is when I went back and got a fill and came back to the boards for support. So far I am down 13 lbs since the fill and on my way to getting all my weight off. So yes I do think it does take some people a little longer to get their head around being banded. 2014 will be my year to get the weight finally off.

If the orange is stuck, when you eat more food you will be making a trip to the ladies room.

I did two 20 sec planks... I thought I was going to die.

Have you done the other two races? We also have the warrior dash here and I was thinking of doing it also. Maybe I need to so the warrior dash first and then maybe the spartan.

When I lose the 77 lbs I need to lose.... Mini facelift here I come. I don't think I need a full one yet but a mini one would be nice.

wcn1970, I live in NY and they have a Spartan race about 30 min from me. Plus they also have one a little later in NJ that isn't that far from me. I would love to find someone to do it with but most people think I am crazy when I mention it.

I'm in...starting the new year right.

I'm in... Need to get on the fitness bandwagon.

My goal for January will be 40 hours of exercise.

Stop drinking for the night... By the morning you should be able to drink. Everyone is different but warm liquids seem to loosen the band for me. For the next couple of days do liquids and soft food only.

What it sounds like to me is you are a little swollen from throwing up. So when you eat the piece of chicken it is setting on top of your band and not going through it. So when you drink the fluids it can't get through the opening because the chicken is blocking it and that is what is making you throw up. Do a couple of days of liquids and let the swelling go down.

It also could be that now your opening is a little swollen from the sliming...when that happens I only drink warm liquids.

If you are able to drink fluids you are no longer stuck. When that happens to me I will drink something and usually the rest will come up that was stuck. It's a little gross but it works.

This will be nice to meet other people with the lap band... Looking forward to this.

Kimk, I just sent you a request.
