Danister, I went through what you are going through and I realized that every time I throw up I irritate my esophagus and then every time I eat I throw up and its just a vicious cycle. I went back to liquids for about a week and let my body heal, I find of started over. After liquids I eased ito mushies and then solid food but I concentrate on chewing and taking small bites and I really believe that is the key. I had my band done on January 6,2006 it was given to me as a Christmas gift from my father. I was not prepared to have this done but I did it anyway and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Good luck everyone!
