Ever since Sunday, I have been getting stuck on anything that is solid, such as meat. I'm sure part of it is due to not eating smaller bites. But with getting stuck, it has been really painful, more so than normal, and I end up throwing up 8-10 times, from only two bites! I woke up Monday with slight stomach pain, this morning with MAJOR stomach pain, and I felt like I still had something stuck in my esophogus. It finally went away once I started to drink, but I'm playing it safe and just having liquids only for the next 24 hours. I'm hoping and praying that it's not my band getting stuck! It's only been since my period this time around (I was banded in December '11).

Also, I am going on vacation in two weeks, and seeing my surgeon next week. I was told that bandsters can get tight when flying, should I ask to have some Fluid removed? I'm hesitant, because other than this recent episode, I don't have any restriction. Matter of fact, since my surgery, I've lost very few pounds. I went from 218 day of, to right now, fluctuating from 201-205. I cannot get past 201! This is making me very miserable and wondering if I made the right decision. Especially being on mainly liquids since Monday morning, and I've GAINED! WTH is going on?!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
