I remember that feeling and I also sometimes feel wierd nosies. I was told not to bend at the waste AT ALL for 6 weeks. I absolutely did not either and I feel wierd things so it is normal.

I am one year out this month and i have only lost 45 pounds. I throw up a lot. When I took Fluid out I knew it was too loose and now having it back up to that amount I am so sick again. I don't have a lot of diversity with my food. Anyone have any suggestions that work for them, excluding meat, I love it, but it grosses me out to have to chew it to mush. I also think my version of chewing to mush is not good enough. Please help with suggestions. Excersise is hard right now because I have such a bad back. Not related to weight, but worse because of it. I am just so lost and need help.

I made an appointment today to talk to the nutritionist at my dosctors office, she alaso does the fills or unfills so maybe asking 100 or so questions with her and her giving pointers will get me over the plateau. Good for you to park and walk like that.

Phranp- Thank you for your post. I did get out and walk last night and it did hurt and I was sore this morning, but it will hurt whether I get out and walk or don't. My physical therapist has always told me to make my back feel better I need to stregthen it. Mine is muscle so it will get better in time. I am glad to know others have the same problem at this year out phase. I am stuck in a big rut and am trying to get out of it.

Thank you everyone. I do excersise it just hasn't happened in the last month because I don't want to get stuck out on the sidewalk with a spasm. I am doing daily streching to get it loose. I think I am going to give up on meat for now and make sure to have one shake a day for sure to get that Protein in. I think I have realized also that I let myself get too hungary and then I eat too fast. I am used to a busy life style with my daughter and I need to retrain myself to pay more attention to good eating and on a schedule. Mornings are horrible for me to eat because my chest is so tight from the band so I am going to drink only the shake because I can't drink coffee in the morning to make it less tight. I will keep trying all the suggestions. Thank you.

I have the same problem with throwing up. I had sugery 10/12/09 and I throw up all day. My doctor said that if you throw up once the band gets irratated and to be on liquids for 24hrs to let it go down. It works for me. Then I go back to eating too quickly or too big of bites and I have to go to liquids again. Maybe that is what is happening.
