I have had 3 fills totaling 3.5cc. I had my surgery on 12/30/09. My last .5ccs was on 05/19/09. I find myself being unable to digest more foods such as bread, tuna, salmon, and beef. Since I have not lost anymore since my last fill I feel I may need another adjustment. I was advised to come in every six weeks if I am not losing 1-2 pounds a week. I am just nervous that soon I won't be able to eat not much other than pureed food. Is this what I have to look forward to? I am missing something. I even have that uncomfortable feeling like something is stuck in my throat when I drink something too fast. Any advice will be appreciated.:confused:

Sounds like you have hit a plateau. Are you exercising? Remember to take small sips of liquids (1 to 2 ounces). Chew everything, then chew again, and again... Go back to the basics of lapband eating. You will drop weight. Your body is still trying to adjust. Best of luck!

I've had 2 fills with 5.5 total in my band. I'm really restricted and spent almost 2 weeks on liquids since the 2nd fill. I'm now able to eat most regular foods again. Not pureed! It's a lot of trial and error to see what I can tolerate. I can only eat about 1/2 to 1 cup of food before I'm full. I also chew until there's basically no flavor left before I swallow! LOL! I think it just takes a little time for your body to get adjusted. Drink slow, that's something else that took some time for me to get adjusted to.
