I had my lap banded in May and I am still having trouble with food coming up right after I eat. I can chew things for 30 to 40 chews thinking that it is well chewed and then I get done eating and then I suddenly have to throw up. I need help I am throwing up more then I am keeping down. I am still doing shakes and they stay down. Where as when I am drinking to fast it comes up as well. Some one help me please give me feed back as to what has helped you to keep things down. I don't know if I just don't know when I am full or if my band is too full, which I have not gotten a fill in 4 months, so I don't think it is the band it has always been this tough on me. I have asked my doctor and he has done and ultrasound and everything looks good he says so I don't know. I know I have said it once already in this post but please help I want this to be successful not a failure.

You sound too tight. Our bands don't stay at the same restriction level forever, because we're losing weight. I'd go for an adjustment and I wouldn't wait any longer. Throwing up often is a sure way to invite a band slip. So I've heard. I'm not an expert but that's what I was told. Good luck.

You are either eating too much too fast or your band is too tight. Did you have a primed band (fluid in your band at time of placement?) -- whatever is going on, it is not okay to be throwing up. Put those medical professionals to work -- they are there for you!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
