So, I rarely can get a cup of food..sometimes yes,sometimes no. Most times I throw up ...pb..after my first bite and then I have weird gurgling in my throat for a couple hours after that. I'm not starving just want to get thru a meal. Or if I don't throw up, it can take me a couple hours to eat a lean cuisine...any suggestions? Is this too full?

What I dont understand is the dr says I'm not too tight..he does fills with flouroscopy (sp?) but today I threw up coffee..don't get it though. I'm 15pds from goal, having a tummy tuck on Nov 18th, getting unfilled on 11/11for the surgery so I guess I will just ride it out.

I was banded on 10/11 and sometimes it feels like there is food in my throat, not down near the band like everyone says. Does that mean I am eating too much? I haven't had a fill yet, it doesn't make me feel like I have to throw up but it's really uncomfortable. What am I doing wrong?

I am getting banded on 10/11, starting the liquid diet tomorrow!!! Very excited, the surgery was scheduled today so everything feels like its rushing...but way better than waiting for it.

I was banded on 10/11/10 and then I was on liquids for 7 days, I lost 10 pounds during that week. Then I went to pureed for a week and now I'm on soft food. I started logging my food just to watch my protein intake. I have been eating between 500 and 700 calories a day and the highest I've been able to get on my protein is about 55. I literally haven't lost an ounce since I started the pureed stage, although I haven't gained. I'm not hungry so no complaints with that but why am I not losing??

Ok. So I am a newbie but have a question. I was just banded, no fills yet. I ate ground meat on the puree diet and ate a roll yesterday. Where you able to still eat this stuff before your fills but after being banded?

I wish my diet said "and". I'm on 3 shakes or strained cream soup a day and then of course whatever sugar free drinks, sugar free popsicle, one no sugar added fudgesicle. But I don't get it...i am not having anywhere near the same protein everyone else is.-the soup only has 1 gram per serving, the shakes are 15 but they have carbs?? I am starving, feel weak. I have literally just stayed in the house for the last 3 days because I feel crazy!! I am on day 4 and have 8 more days to go...(should have been 14 days but they let me schedule the surgery as soon as my insurance got approved.)

Day 2 of the liquid diet...I feel really weak, although the hunger is better than yesterday. yesterday was rough. Although I've had a headache today. Making it through...lost 2 pounds since yesterday, which is the good news I suppose, water weight or not!

Got my surgery date today...being banded 10/11. I am starting the liquid diet tomorrow..ugh. It will all be worthwhile in the end though. Very excited!
