    6 days banded

    and I am not hungry but also miss food. I don't get "full" on my Protein drinks but I do get physically satisfied. I can drink a lot of Water my 64oz that I am supposed to. I really am getting tired of not eating. What did you eat 1-4wks out of surgery? I want ideas and I'd like to know if others have different doctors orders? Thanks.
  2. spot can you tell me what you eat in a typical day? I am interested in finding out what others are eating (I try so much that doesn't work) and how much (everything comes back up, could be a chewing problem). Thanks so much! Kathy:)
  3. except liquid. I really can't eat much of anything. I was banded Nov. 27, first fill Dec. 28th. I was immediately tight but eventually could eat very small amounts and keep it down. Now suddenly for the last week I eat a tiny amount and within 10-15 minutes..it's starts coming back up in slime I spit out into paper towels as I head for the bathroom. What's strange is I can eat Protein Bars, popcorn, pirates booty...all go down, isn't that strange? I made a ham & cheese egg omelet, took two bites was very full so stopped. Within 15 minutes, I had slimy balls coming up w/ pieces of eggs/ham/cheese. I guess I should call my doctor. I am not getting dehydrated because I do drink all day and can eat Protein bars. Would you just be happy and lose the weight or not? I am very irresponsible when it comes to food so I am inclined to think "this is a good fast way", kwim? I know though that I am sick!!!

    Everything comes back up

    Thank you all for responding. I will just have fluid today. I am drinking crystal light now and it does go down no problem but I can't take big drinks, no problem. I really think I have been chewing lots and small pieces but maybe it's just not small enough. I will be more diligent w/ that before I go for a slight unfill. I struggle w/ being afraid that I will end up too loose. I will try to make this work for me. When you say chew and eat slow...can someone w/ lots of restriction please spell out for me exactly what that mean? lol Is it a piece of beef the size of a canned tuna fish flake that you chew for 2-3 minutes? Would a normal sized teaspoon (not heaping) full of something (say egg salad) be too big of a bite? I am going to start another post about variety. Thank you, Kathy
  5. Hi everyone, I had my first fill last Thursday. I am tight. I eat 2-3 bites of food and chew it TONS (it's small to begin with) and feel full. If I eat anymore I get very uncomfortable pressure. I sip Water all day long. Very small sips go down. The problem I am having is I have pains in the left and right side of my neck. Kinda achy. If I hiccup I have a achy feeling in my rib cage area. I don't know if these are band related at all. It does make me wonder. Does anyone have any ideas or any experience w/ this? Thanks so much, Kathy

    Tightening in Neck area

    Thank you gayle and congratulations on a WOW weightloss! I have a total of 2.5 cc in a 4cc band. I got 1cc during surgery and then 1.5cc at my fill. I am wondering if I am too tight. I hate to complain but worry a bit about this weird tightness in my neck/shoulder area. It runs all through my rib cage but I only feel that sporatically. THank you for your reply!

    Tightening in Neck area

    I guess no one has any idea what I am talking about. :party:
  8. Hi, I had my surgery on Monday and took my kids to the park today to ride their bikes. My husband did all the lifting but I did plenty of walking, laughing and enjoying the day. I do get tired faster but I sit and rest. I think you will be okay. Have a Merry Christmas!
  9. I know it's some sort bad side effect like throwing up but I can't figure out exactly what it is or what it stands for. Thanks!
