New Post

Okay,

I got online tonight and saw a message stating that I hadn't done any new posts in 30 days and that I must be getting shy. So here it is my new post. I haven't seen any new posts to respond to. So here is a new one. I am at a bit of a standstill right now. I am struck at 60lbs lost. Going for a fill on June 5. Can't wait. Calling dr. office weekly to see if they have had a cancellation.

Hope this post finds everyone loosing and healthy. Talk to you Merry Loosers soon.

I am at 60 pounds too. How much can you eat of solid food and not have to bring it up. I have had only 3 fills and the last time I had some taken out. I still do a lot of vomiting. Any suggestions.

I haven't done any vomiting. I have had 3 or 4 fills. I still can eat solids without any problmems. Ocassionally I have trouble sometimes in the morning. Mostly I don't have any trouble I am filled 7.2 in a 10 cc band.

If your throwing up you need to chew more or eat slower.

You shouldnt be throwing up all the time.

I have had 3 fills and 1 unfill for a total of 4cc left in my 10cc band and I am still having a hard time keeping food down with anything other than soft foods and liquids. It was better for about 5 days after my unfill but now it is getting hard again to eat food. I really think I am chewing and eating slow enough but maybe not??? I have never been able to eat like I did before surgery. I think I may need to have another unfill.

I would love for somebody to do a poll on how much and how many fills people have when they reach there "sweet spot"!!!

Hi Lisamarie-

I have had issues w/vomitting too. I've found that even if I eat slowly and chew REALLY well, *I* still need to be very careful. Some foods I just CAN NOT handle. eggs, bread (even toasted well), red meat etc. I am currently @ 6cc's in a 14cc band. My last fill was just a couple of weeks ago. I don't know if it's possible, but if it is- feel free to send me a message "offline". It looks like we face a lot of the same issues.

Be well,

Connie

my biggest no no foods are Rice and bread and have thrown up quite a few times but it is my own fault my band told me to stop eating but I had to have one more bite lol. I faught the band and the band won :-).

I am going to ask at the next meeting what to do, I have lost approx 50pds. I can't eat hardly anything until 5pm then I eat everything so do I get another fill? I have only gained once in 6months and that was only a pd one wk lost 1.5 the next so I am loosing what they say I should be loosing so I don't think my dr. would give me another fill anyway. Evenings are still a fight everynight of my life.
