I had a fill two weeks ago that took me to 7 cc. I have lost 10 lbs. However I am constantly spitting up. I have been blaming myself because I eat too much. I just tried to eat a teaspoon of cantalope and it caused esophogeal spasms. I constantly am spitting up foam. My doc said "You gripe if you eat too much, you gripe if you can't eat enough. Can you swallow?" I said yes and he said I would be fine. I don't want to cause other problems by spitting up all the time. Any suggestions? I'm ready to go have some taken out. This is a pain.

Your doctor should be disciplined!!! What a jerk. It sounds like you need a small adjustment and he is neglecting you. I wish you luck assserting yourself or finding another doctor. I just went through it for 3 weeks and got a small unfill 2 days ago and feel like I got my life back. My PA probably thinks I am nuts, but I don't care, I know what I am living. Let us know how you do.

But you will find that comforatble fill for you and then you will be fine.You will go thru some ups and downs but just take day by day and be happy and BLESSED. I've started my weight loss journey blog page and would love for some of you to join and talk with me about your band and everyday life.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
