the vomiting if I could at least lose weight. I got a fill about 3 weeks ago (up to about 6cc in a 10cc band) and in the last week or so, I have pb'd so many times on the solid Proteins, that it's not funny. I thought I was taking my time, chewing well, and taking small bites, but I guess not. I'm not suffering from reflux at night, but I'm having these episodes that make me sore, ya know?

And... the frustrating thing is that I can't seem to lose weight unless I'm on a total liquid diet!! :cursing:

Any thoughts, advice, suggestions?!!? I'm starting to think I'm a failure at this too! My 1 year anniversary is in a couple of days and I haven't lost any weight since the 2 days I was on liquids right after my fill....

It might be the type of solids your eatting. After my last fill I could no longer eat chicken of any kind. And I havent been able to eat pork for a long time. I can however eat hamburger and ground meat and bacon. I get full a lot quicker then I have before. So I have to really be careful to not over eat and pb.

I strongly suggest that you check that you are not too tight...if you are, as weird as it seems, you lose less weight, and the longer it persists the more swelling and potential damage to your stomach is done.

If it is confirmed that you are NOT too tight, then assess whether the episodes are related to a particular food or group of foods. For myself, there is no food that I cannot eat (in moderation)...if I had to start eliminating foods, I would be somewhat concerned.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
