I had my surgery on 5/7/09. My first fill was on 6/2/09. Down 33lbs., but I have been at a standstill on the scale (No loss or gain) for a week. Yesterday I started having trouble eating. I ate about 1/2 of a chicken patty from a chicken biscuit (I threw out the biscuit) and had trouble keeping it down. Today friends at work asked me to go out for lunch- mexican-I only had enough meat to fill one tortilla and I didn't think I would make it getting my meal paid before I got sick. I had to sit in my truck 10mins hurting and then spit up (I guess what everyones calling sliming) after that it did get better. This evening I ate a small can of chicken salad spread cause I knew that would be really soft and had trouble with that too. Does this mean the band is too tight? I thought I'd had chewed long enough or maybe do I just have to back off and eat less if it is tighter now? Any help is appreciated.:rolleyes:

Hi

My thinking on this is: When in doubt, call your doctor". Maybe your too full and may have to have some saline taken out.

I was just banded yesterday, June 9th.

Good luck to 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...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        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.
