Hi, QueensTy, I have had my band for 15 months and burps play a big part of my life. They aren't drunk burps, but they do make some noise. Unexpected burps are to be expected and I have got use to it. Only places I feel uncomfortable with it is when I'm in a quiet place. They usually happen after I eat.

Yes, you ate too fast. Take small sips. enjoy each one Cream of Chicken is one of my favorite. Good eats!

I'm feeling discouraged after my first fill last wednesday (5 days). At the fill appt the doc filled the band and asked me to drink some water, well I felt it come up to my throat so he removed some fluid and I drank again. This time it kinda went up but not much so he took more. He left me with 2cc. After the fill I felt like there was no change from before the fill. I called the docs office and the nurse said to give it a week to adjust to regular food. I'm eating and not feeling full, I'm even eating SECONDS! that the heck I dont know what is the right amount but I'm thinking I need an adjustment. I dont want to continue with this cycle from the past!! Has anyone experienced what I am going through?

Well, As the days went by after I posted this comment,I did notice some little restriction. Mainly I have to remember to eat SLOW and I will have a full feeling. If I eat too fast, I get an ugly full feeling (tightening). I'm happy to say that my start weight was 229lbs and now i'm @ 207 lbs : ) . This coming friday I have an appt for a fill and I made an appt at the office that has an x-ray machine so the doc can fill properly! Thanks to all the advice on Patience, its true. I also am walking 3 miles 4-5 days a week, i think that makes all the difference! luving ya!

is bread allowed in our diets?

My favorite mushy food was healthy choice cream of chicken soup and I would add some ground chicken into it...delicious!
