Hello. Sorry to hear that you are having that experience. Sounds very unpleasant! I do not have any words of wisdom as I am only two weeks post op and haven't experienced that, but I was surprised about your clinic encouraging full fat foods. I've never hear that before, and can't help but think it could be related to what you are eating? My clinic also refers to it as a lifestyle change and not a diet, yet they explain that eating healthy and making good choices isn't dieting, it is just eating wisely for your health. I know different doctors have different perspectives sometimes, but I have honestly never heard of lap band patients being encouraged to eat full fat foods. I wish someone else would reply incase I am missing something! I would speak to the doctor directly if the nurse did not have any answers. Good luck!

Sorry your dealing with that....I sometimes get that when I eat foods that dont agree with me. Eggs....lettuce..apples....I start to eat then I get that OOOOo Goodness feeling and I get the phlem....I just stop eatting and wait for it to pass.....Good Luck

I know exactly what you are talking about, it happened to me last night. VERY UNPLEASANT!! For me, I think I had food stuck from not chewing enough. I had just gotten a fill yesterday and was not yet used to the smaller amounts I have to eat & I used to be able to swallow larger bites of food because I had much less restriction. Try chewing more.

Hi

I know what you mean. I have Phlegm when I have my protein shakes. It's the dairy. I never asked the doctor about it. I see him Friday.
