I could not stick with the liquid diet for 2 weeks. I lasted 6 days then started eating solid food that I'd chew at least 20times to compensate. My doctor told me I didnt have much stomach fat, so my band was a bit loose. I guess this is why I was not satisfied with the liquid. Now at night I feel muscular cramps in the chest area. Sometimes it feels like it extends to my upper back. Wakes me up at night. Tossing and turning to get comfortable. I somehow fall back to sleep. I am mostly fine during the day. I also lost the antibiotics travelling back from surgery. Has anyone experienced this? Does this sound like an infection?:sick Can anyone describe the pain of having food/fluid stuck in the pouch etc.:help:

How does one know if the band has slipped? I was told I could now start on mushy food, but cheat every now and then because I am not satisfied with the mushy stuff. I do still have some discomfort now and then, but nothing like the pain I felt one nite after eating something solid (chewed-up many times) I have lost a few pounds and am more committed to the fight, but do think I need a fill since the food I consume does not satisfy.
