NVS for me today. In November had to use a seat belt extender on my flights. Today didn't have to use it on our flight! Also the tray was level on my lap!

Good job!!!!!!

Well I finally had my first (and second) bout with vomiting. The first time was food I had been eating for about a week, but for whatever reason it decided to come up. And tonight I tried some fish and that didn't sit very well either. it happened really fast and I didn't have any other symptoms. Makes me very leery to try new foods. I've mostly been sticking with yogurt, scrambled eggs, tofu and Protein Shakes. I'm about 3 months out from surgery. I've lost 31 lbs since then and I'm finally in Onederland.

Ok anybody that had revision from band to bypass please tell me this goes away!!! I am 7 weeks out and not that I'm progressing on regular foods I'm getting that stuck feeling like I had with my band and am not keep much down. I go for a follow up Wednesday, but I was told by my surgeon that they got out as much scar tissue as they safely could. So could this just be healing issues or scar tissue issues any help would great!!!!

I'm band to bypass and the only stuck feeling I got aS with swallowing pills. Are you chewing well enough, or is the food too dry?

9 weeks out and I am down 40lbs. I feel like it should be more but as long as I'm losing that's all that matters.

No I'm chewing like crazy and haven't tried anything dry just yet so I'm not sure what is going on!
