I'm here in Lincoln, NE! Still alive & kicking! I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving yesterday! Matt

MomOf3inOC, That sounds like a good idea. I enjoy a good Tuna Fish sandwich. I'll give that a try. Num! Matt

Has anyone had any trouble with straight Tuna Fish getting stuck? My wife warned me that she has troubles unless she mixes alot of Mayo into it. I had a can of Tuna straight. (Yum!!) But it did tend to get stuck even though I took small bites & chewed it like crazy. Anyone else have problems with Tuna? Matt

Hmmm. Interesting. I wouldn't say it's painful. It's a bit uncomfortable. I think it's what you all described that it's the learning experience. It's one thing to read about it but to experience it is a different thing. It does seem to be getting better. I agree. I just have to get used to smaller bites & lots of chewing. I beleive i'm watching what i'm doing at first and then I slowly go back into my old mode of eating. I just have to keep working at it. Thanks for the advice, Matt

Heya everyone, Does anyone have any experience with this? Is it normal to have food take a long time to make its way down my Esophagus to the stomach at this point after my surgery? (Since I haven’t had my 1st fill yet. They thought that I shouldn’t have that problem.) My food either takes quite a long time to move down or it seems to get stuck before it even gets to where my LapBand is located. I have been using the Bariatric Advantage Meal Replacement 8oz drinks for my Breakfast & lunch. Then I might eat a small dinner. Thanks, Matt

Very good to know. Thanks guys.

Does anyone have any new advice or experience with Martial Arts training with a LapBand? My wife is suggesting that we get into Martial Arts as a family exercise option. (Once I’m all healed up.) She was a Black Belt in Taekwondo back in high school & I did some Ninjutsu training in HS as well. I’m concerned about the possibility of damaging the port from a well placed powerful punch/kick/elbow/knee crushing/cracking the plastic or tearing the sewn in port stitches. Thanks, Matt

To eat after surgery?

Hah! One of lives dissapointments. But the size increase can be a + for the lady as well. :wub:
