This afternoon I ate a hard boiled egg with out even thinking about the band,talkingand eating don't mix. This is the very first time for the"golfball in the chest"feeling so I know this thing works.terryr

I know what you mean! I was banded on 3/22/07. The third piece of sushi I ate for dinner did not go down. First PB, not fun. What's weird is that I had the same meal 2 days ago without a problem. I guess the rice was a little too dry or maybe I took too big of a bite. I don't know. I excused myself to the restaurant and up it came. Oh well. Now I know.

LOL....I was banded on 3/30 and TODAY was my episode. Talking & eating at lunch. (I'm a teacher so heaven forbid there be a realistic time frame for lunch) And then....wham-O! I could feel the bubble just under the food and I just prayed...please let it gurgle loose, cause I really don't wanna barf! LOL :Cry:

Needless to say....I survived, I walked it off for a couple of minutes and the rest of lunch was either A) chewing or :) talking...not trying to do both!

Too funny!:bounce:

I love hard boiled eggs, but I can't eat the yolks. They'll stick me up whether I'm paying attention or not. I dont mind just snacking on the whites though.

I had my first PB experience when I just came home from the hospital on 3/31/07

I was cutting up my pain meds <since I could not take any of the liquid because I am allergic>, and I thought I cut them up pretty small. I took a quarter of the pill and BAM it stuck.... I was in such a state... then I remember someone on here saying that relaxing and let it do its thing would be best.... Sure enough, within a moments time, it came up with a lovely ball of slime. Needless to say, I never took the pills again and had my usband go out and buy me some liquid tylenol!

You all seem to have a problem with eggs. It was one of my first soft solids I tried. Never had a problem.... Weird how we all are different.

Came on tonight to make sure I wasn't the only one with a golf ball feeling and the slime. I had my first fill a week ago and have been having a little trouble keeping things down. I go slow, chew, chew, chew but still the food seems to want to come up. I'm going to try liquids for a couple days and see if maybe I'm swollen from the fill.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
