I finally did it...my lil chunky self...I was banded 2/18/13...my first fill was on 3/18/13....I am down 34 pounds...I weighed my tuna yesterday and consumed 4oz it was all good..then later on I decided to have tuna again but time I just eyeballed it...uh oh...I overate and I am still freaking miserable today! When does this feeling pass? I decided to crank up the liquids today...Team Sasha needs a lil help...I have never thrown up since being banding...I just feel so miserably...uggggh...the band is no joke!

Do your band gives you a signal that it's getting full. I get the hiccups when I am full. At first I didn't realize hiccups was a sign until I started paying attention. I noticed that if I continued to eat after the hiccups, I was miserable. No after the first hiccup, I STOP.

Over full is an awful feeling, but you now you know to keep on measuring. As you progress you may find that you have to stop early, 4oz will be too much. Listen to your body. Usually you will get a soft stop signal, hiccup, runny nose, etc. When you do. STOP. Wait for at least 15 minutes and decide and I really still hungry. Very good call on going back to liquids for a bit, but sip small amounts. Remember it is a funnel effect, and you can back up on liquids too. Congrats on your success so far. Sounds like you are doing well and showing good judgement. Best wishes going forward!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
