Thankyou for replys i phoned docs and was advised liquid diet for few days think my pouch was inflamed from vomitting last week when i had flu, i feel better now! Knew it wasn't gallstones as i had my gallbladder removed last year aswell as my appendix. Much better after liquid diet

Hey , im 3 months post op and i have 6 ml in a 10 ml band, im just starting to learn things i can or cannot tolerate, ive been told by my dietician to start eating "crunchier" textures eg vegetables cereals, do these types of foods keep you fuller for longer?
-
Ive completely fell off the diet wagon, I'm ashamed as I'm only 3 months post op. my father died in december an I've turned to food for comfort, although i cant eat a lot I'm back to eating "bad foods" again an i cant get myself back on track.

Thank you both for your response its helped a great deal, I've never looked at food scientifically i will have to look into that!

Is it safe for me to have protein shakes/slimfast shskes every morning for breakfast? I read that too much liquid can cause slippage?

I had my surgery 14th october 2013 and started with 4ml in my band, i had my first fill 3 weeks ago so i now have 5ml in my band, since my fill i sometimes get the feeling that food is stuck in my chest an after 30secs or so it goes away. It is only certain foods such as meat an bread.. Im scared food will cause a blockage, is this possible??

Thankyou so much

Im from UK, live in cheshire had my band fitted by The Hospital Group in october

How did you learn the hard way B-52?

I hardly eat bread because no matter how slow an how much i chew always feels stuck so i could prob give that up, i love meat tho and havent had any red meat (steaks or roast beef)since my op... I do eat slow i guess il try slower an smaller bites i find eating habits the hardest thing to change since the op

My surgeon put 4ml (UK) in my band during surgery and i am going for my first fill tomorrow afternoon, i feel i am eating more at the minute but not as much as pre op, i get shoulder pain when i am full. Will i continue 1ml at every fill or can you have 2ml?
