Are you PBing or actually vomiting?

If you're PBing, try taking very small bites, chewing it until mush, and pausing between bites.

If you're vomiting, call your doctor immediately, you shouldn't be vomiting.

WHAT IS PBing

PBing is Productive Burping. It's when you burp the food back up, it's not forceful or violent like vomiting and doesn't result in the stomach retching like vomiting.

WELL IM NOT BURPIN I DO EAT VERY SLOW BUT ONCE OR TWICE A DAY I GET SICK AND IM HAVING CHARLIE HORSES NON STOP AN I WAS TOLD IT IS LACK OF Water BUT MY TWO WEEK CHECKUP HE TOOK ME OFF MILK AN juice CAUSE WATER WEIGHT IF I CANT ANSWER YOU IM CLOSE BUT LEGALLY BLIND SO I NEED HELP BUT ANY INFO IS GREATLY APPRECIATED I HAVENT STARTED ANY SUPPORT GROUP YET MY DOCTOR HASNT RELEASED ME HES IN LOUISVILLE I LIVE NEXT TO NASHVILLE TN I GO BACK ON THE 18

I think you should go see your Dr.

It sounds like you are too tight. He must of put Fluid in your band at the time of surgery.

If you haven't had a fill... there is no reason you can not keep meat down and ESPECILLY fluids.

I have had several fills and I have absolutely no problem with any meat.< /span>

I seriously advise you to see the Dr.

Best of Luck and please keep us posted

Also, your just 2 weeks post op. Your stomach could still be swollen from the placement of the band and then with all the throwing up... uff. Maybe strictly liquids for a while.

This is just my opinion...but some Doctors don't give enough info, or have enough knowledge. (not saying yours doesn't)

I can't do very many meats and I am 5 1/2 months post op. No steak, or anything grilled. I can do stuff in the crockpot that is very tender, but other stuff even if I chew chew chew just causes discomforts and comes back up.

I'LL POST BIGGER SO IT'S EASIER TO SEE.

I WOULD TALK TO YOUR SURGEON BECAUSE YOU SHOULDN'T BE VOMITING, VOMITING CAN LEAD TO SLIPS.

I THINK THE SUPPORT GROUP WILL BE GOOD, AS WOULD SEEING A NUTRITIONIST. BOTH ARE VALUABLE TOOLS WHEN TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT WITH THE BAND.

GIVE YOUR SURGEON'S OFFICE A CALL AND LET THEM KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.

BEST WISHES TO YOU.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
