So I don't know if you ever figured it out, but I had this same thing just happen to me. I haven't had any surgery yet but I am on day 2 of taking Victoza, 1.8 once a day, metformin 4x500mg, omeprazole 20mg, lisinopril, glimepiride and pipglitazone. I took all that maybe 8 hours ago, now. Threw up because I ate too much and the Victoza makes me nauseous if I eat too much, and lo and behold there are little purple balls! I extricated them and took pics- they exploded with purple liquid after being smushed- they honestly looked like tiny little raisins or something. The only thing I had with dye similar in color was trolli's berry flavored gummy worms (yesterday). I took pics, if that helps?? Did anyone ever find an answer?? Can't figure out how to upload pics on mobile.

It has been a long time since I posted. I haven't lost anything lately with the band, in August I started have extreme intermittent pain in my left side/shoulder, after about 2 weeks it became a constant, finally in Oct I had an UGI done, my band had slipped slightly, so had a complete unfill, pain relieved, had already been talking about band removal and a revision, they removed my band on Dec 30, while the removal was easy, there were complications at the band and tubing had embedded themselves in my liver, so the tubing and band had to be dissected out of my liver. I am at home and recovering and trying to decide if I am going to have a revision in about 6 months or not.

Good luck.

Thank you for a positive response. I am having lap band on the 22nd.

It sounds as though it's been a long time since you've been in to your surgery practice. Most people *****gain a lot feel too humiliated to make an appt, but I think it's one of the first and wisest steps to reacquaint and reconnect. They've heard it all before and, when someone recommits, they'll be there to help you succeed.

Use a food tracker (My Fitness Pal; sparkpeople.com; livestrong.com are among them). Not only will it help you stay aware of what you're putting in your mouth, it will also be a great reference so that you can take a hard look should you go astray. I also find that the little time I spend using mine (spark, but that's not an endorsement), is time that I'm not eating.

If your memory or confidence is shaky on the how-to's and what-to's of choosing foods, see your practice's RD with about a week's worth of food diaries to review together. The RD will be able to point out areas that my need improvement.

I've been there and am still working on undoing the damage. You can do it.
