I'm finding that just because I can eat more doesn't mean I should - and that when I measure it out and ONLY eat a cup of food, it really does fill me up. My eyes may want more but if I walk away or make myself wait 1/2 hour or so I can usually stick to it. For me, I don't want to be any tighter even though it might make me lose weight faster - I haven't yet thrown up or pb'd - seems like a good place to be. I'm learning to find something else to fill up whatever I'm missing instead of food because I'm not actually hungry... I hope you figure it out too. Hang in there.

It can help the pouch shrink, but not always, it greatly depends on much it's already stretched.
As for liquids, your best bet is stick to low sugar and low sodium.
Once you're back on solid foods again, be sure to eat no more than 1 cup of food per meal. If you're still hungry, talk to your doctor about needing a fill, but if you want to avoid stretching the pouch again definitely stick to band sized portions regardless of hunger.
Best wishes

9 out of ten times they get stuck its like white bread. Wheat are better corn is perfect I never get stick with corn. Some things work for some and not others just don't experiment in public lol!

My stuck feeling consists of pressure in my chest alot of burping cant really talk and sometimes i have a little trouble breathing. Feels better when it decides to go down or come up if you know what i mean. Usually a stuck espisode is caused by oneself. Every time i get stuck its because i eat to fast or dont chew enough! Lately i have been precutting my meats to itty bitty pieces and it makes it easier to chew well in my mouth. Pretend you are feeding an infant so they wont choke where you are the infant!
