Side effects from band???

It has been 4 weeks since my lapband and everything has went really well until today.  I had an appointment for car repair at 10:00.  Afterwards, I went for breakfast and ordered a ham and cheese 2 egg omelet.  After just a couple bites, I had that stuck feeling.  I tried my usual remedies...sitting up very straight, walking around and it seemed to go away.  I thought perhaps it was the ham so I picked all of it out and didn't eat anymore ham.  When I was about finished, it started feeling stuck again so I stopped eating.  (I had had nothing to eat or drink for 1 hour before ordering the omelet.)  We left the restaurant and I started hiccuping and felt like I was over full.  I kept swallowing, but after about 5 minutes, I vomited and then felt greal except for icky clothes.  The vomit was not acidic and was very slimy. 

Can any one help me with this?  Everything has gone so well except for today.  Since then, I have had a protein bar at around 1:30 and now some chicken salad at 5:00.  These have gone down fine.  Just a little worried and don't want to do this again.

Carolyn,
A lot of bandsters are tighter in the morning. I for one, cannot eat ham anymore. A lot of bandsters also, cannot eat eggs, I can. I probably would have stopped ALL eating after the FIRST stuck feeling, if I keep going, it is going to come back up. Sometimes when eating out, we tend to eat bigger bites and too fast. So for you it could be some or all of these things combined. When I PB or throw up, now, it's always chunky. TMI I know. Since you are able to eat somewhat normally now, you sound OK. I usually have to stay on semi soft foods for a day afterward. Your new band is telling you "hello, I'm in here, you have to eat differently" LOL Just make sure and eat those pea sized bites at least 30-45 seconds between bites and you should do fine. You could try drinking something warm/hot before your morning meals. Make sure you are well hydrated. Good luck

Mari,

I can usually eat eggs fine.  They are my mainstay right now.  Perhaps I need to try the warm  drink before eating.

Thanks for the info.

You may have done nothing wrong and it was just one of those, The band has a mind of it's own, day. LOL It's good you can eat eggs, I'm glad that I can. Although I got so sick of eating them every day for over a year, I can't stand the sight of them right now.  You will learn all the in's and outs of your own band.  I hope you don't have another stuck episode!!  Good luck!

I try to fix them in different ways and sometimes it works and sometimes not so good.  Example, my attempt at egg drop soup...looked like what came up today!  lol. 

I keep trying tho.  Good luck to you, too.
