So i went to post op appt. And the lady that was giving the explanation on the next step in our diet,mushies ,kept narrating all the times she felt stuck and sick it was torture.So i wonder do bandsters always feel sick ?or do we just get used to it?

i am a newbie also but i have not had all the discomforts described by some. if i do, i know what i did wrong and try not to repeat. the one thing i have noticed is that ppl don't utilized their nutritionist or doctor when having a issue. they are your best recourse and have the expierence to deal with the different problems. good luck on your journey

If you're chewing enough, taking small enough bites, eating slow enough and don't have your band too tight then you should very rarely get sick. And "sick" does not mean vomiting, in fact vomiting should be avoided at all costs with the band.

It's pretty much all under your control.

Best wishes.

I have not been sick .. I was banded inJanuary and try to concentrate on eating slowly and taking small bites.. I have gotten slightly stuck in chicken before but learned to make sure it was moist.. otherwise I have been very happy with my band...

Everyone has a different experience. Many of us have not felt sick or stuck very often if at all. I am 7 months out and have only PB'd once and have felt "stuck" a few other times but it went down after a minute or two. I have never felt nauseous or thrown up. I do feel like I have done so well because I am following the rules, which leads to the best banding outcome. Good luck =)

What's the diff between PB and a regular burp. Like every since surgery I now have burps after I eat. In a way it's my body's way of telling me I'm done. So I don't get the difference?
