Been having acid reflux waking up to have to vomit for about the last six months. Had some fluid taken out, so at least it's not every night now. I think I need to quit eating earlier in the evening before going to bed. Any suggestions I work a variety of shifts at work makes supper time after 8pm alot of nights.

so what about taking powered protien along? With the area and the meetings I'm going to be going to it's either take something with me or do without. and what about vitamins are they going to say anything about taking medications along?

why can't you drink margaritas they have no carbonation?

Me too I'm about 170 and can squeeze into a 12. So how did you achieve and maintaine your weight loss? I'm down 53 pounds in about six months. Need to exercise more but I work eat and sleep. Work doesn't even give me time to eat a lunch most days. I just take a protien bar along to eat when I get a minute.

I have to go on a business trip. This will be my first flight since having the band put in. Should I expect any problems? Any suggestions as far as taking protien along on the trip ?? I don't want to take a whole big container I'll only be gone four days. Protien as carry on or just in baggage? My band is as tight as I can get it and still eat. I asked for the extreme before I moved and boy did I get it. My husband has finally figured out how much I can eat without throwing up. I was vomiting after every meal for awhile and live to far to go to the doctor every time I may need an adjustment. I'm concerned about eating in front of people because of eating slow and not being able to eat a full plate of food they serve. I've requested smaller portions and no large vegatables. I'd rather not eat than have to keep leaving the table to go vomit. Anyone got anything else I'm forgetting about?

Thank you. I have used a straw with no problems and drink a sip of pop now and then. Think I'll lay off the pop don't want any erosion. Hoping I can exercise enough to lose four pounds this week. I go back for a weight check only next week and that would make 50 pounds I've lost since Dec. 28th. My goal to exercise my toosh off this week!! )

why is it we can't drink pop or use a straw I forgot??

how much weight did you lose that your insurance paid for the cosmetic changes?

I know exactly how you feel I've heard the "are you suppose to be eating that??" comment too. They just have no clue. Know that you have friends on here that believe in you. You can do anything you set your mind to!! I haven't lost any weight since Jan 4th but I guess it's all part of the process as long as I don't gain any weight before my first fill next week I'll be happy. I've even considered going back on the liquid diet for a week till my doctors apt next week just to lose weight, but not sure if it's worth it.

I can totally relate. I've heard the "are you suppose to be eating that??" comment too. I looked and I haven't lost any weight since Jan 4th I was banded dec 28th. I've been happy as long as I don't gain any weight during this time. I go for my first fill next week. I'm hoping they put enough in that I don't have to keep paying to go back all that often. I've thought about going back on the liquid diet for a week just to lose more weight before I go to the doctor, not sure it's worth it though. I was looking at pictures today and that's depressing to see no change in a month. All part of the process I guess. Just know you have friends on here knoebelcamper!!
