I am starting to think I need to become a vegetarian! Thank you for your comments. I am booked in to see the consultant this evening but since I wrote this, I am less worried as I have been on liquids for a few days and it seems to have calmed down, so fingers crossed it is just a tightening as you said KateP. Thank you again, you really helped.

Thank you for coming back to me so quickly KateP. I eat a lot of fish as I find that is definitely better than chicken / Pork / Red meat, however can only have very small amounts before I feel uncomfortable. I have found Quorn goes down a lot easier too. Would a temporary tightness episode last this long? I am hoping this is the case, as I know if you do have a slip, it is very likely to happen again and I am desperate to keep going without any problems as I feel great already. I suppose panicking and stressing about this is probably not helping me either!

Hi all, I was banded just over a year ago, and had really good results so far. I am eating healthier and exercising regularly however do have the odd slip up - especially when it comes to eating too quickly. I find it a lot easier to eat vegetables, however particularly struggle with most Protein - I don't tend to eat carbs now as I have always struggled with them. For the past 2 weeks I have been struggling to keep solid food down. I should mention I can have fluids / soft foods which are fine but I am worried I have had a slip. For example, I have just had some carrots and hummus and feel fine, I can also have porridge for Breakfast. My only symptoms are the fact I am sick when I try to eat any meat and a slight pain in my stomach when I eat. I spoke to my consultant who said go to liquids for a few days to see if it makes a difference and I am booked in to see her on Monday. My questions really are: Does anyone else have problems with protein? Does this sound familiar for a suspected slip? Should I take pain killers to ease the swelling should I just be inflamed to help healing? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
