SageTracey 608 Posted June 16, 2012 PBiing happens when a piece of food gets stuck and you bring it back up. It's kind of like vomiting but, for me, anyway, doesn't come from as deep in my stomach as vomiting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lindseytm 1 Posted June 16, 2012 Thanks guys. All I've had are liquids so far. My brother had McDonald's in front of me yesterday and I wanted to punch him haha. This works tho right? I will lose weight won't I? How much weight did people loose and how fast? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kim1974 2 Posted June 16, 2012 I was banded only a week ago and have lost 10 pounds. This will work and the liquids are temporary. I know several ppl who have had this and all are doing well. There have been some ups and downs with them but it a process and takes time. Hang in there. We got this just remember how great we are going to look and feel soon!!!!!

I'm so hungry but affraid to eat at the same time.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mountainnurse 19 Posted June 17, 2012 Hi Lindsey, I hope each day is getting better for you. Are you getting enough Protein? Are you on full or Clear Liquids? I would be mad at my husband if he ate fast food in front of me. I miss French fries! Didn't you say your brother had the surgery? How can he eat fast food? I've talked with my husband and he knows he can eat whatever he wants when he's not around me. Thankfully he's been supportive. Now that I'm on mushies, he's eating the same thing as me. He hopes to loose weight too by practicing the principles of eating slower and portion control! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
