Hello everyone. I am new to this forum. Actually this is the first one I have ever joined but I need help. I had my surgery at the end of January and I am only 29 lbs down. I know I am doing things wrong but I just don't know what to do. I finally figured out breakfast (oatmeal, hard-boiled egg) but other than that I am not sre how to eat. I tried eating meat but even after 3 or 4 mins it still restrictive and it takes me 30 mins to eat 5 or 6 bites. I've tried shrimp w/noodles and I was throwing up in the restroom. It gets to the point that I have my husband get me a shake because at least that stays down. But it's so bad for you and that's not why I got the band. It's frustrating knowing the I can eat baked good better than I can protein and veggies. I am at a loss. I've starting walking 3 days a week and have joined a gym but any help or information is appreciated. I am sick of the pains in the chest, the sliming, the BP's while I eat. I can't figure out if I am too filled but I can eat fine and plenty at night. I wish I would have found this website 6 months ago but oh well. I have 100 lbs left to use and I am ready to lose it.
Congratulations to everyone on here. It's great to read how well people are doing and how helpful everyone is. Thank!
