Thank you all so much for your support. I did drink some coffee and it went down, or atleast I think it was. I called my doctor and she said that it might not have been that it was stuck, but that I was experiencing the feeling of being too full for the first time since being banded. She said "you will know when it's stuck, it will feel like a burning in your chest". So, hoping I won't experience that and going to be wayyy more cautious to make sure it doesn't happen. I gave my mother a copy of the guidelines for her to have and I'm back home doing good now. I've lost 8 pounds in 5 days so I'm excited about that. Thank you everyone for your advice, I greatly appreciate it and the support. I am going to get some of these papaya enzymes everyone keeps talking about, just in case I do get in that situation. Also, about the coffee thing. My surgeon told me to ALWAYS start the day off with a hot liquid, it helps open the band. And they told me that coffee was totally fine, but it may be different with some surgeons, I don't know. No disrespect though..... ~Nicole

Dearest All Who's Reading, Hi!!! I'm Nicole, I'm 23 years old, and I just got my lapband placed on October 8th, 2009. It's only a week post op and I'm doing pretty good so far. I just got to start on my blended food diet today, and gosh was I dyin! Being on the liver shrinking diet and then liquids still after surgery was rough. I was starvin marvin! lol.... Anyway, I am a single mother of a beautiful 2 year old little boy named Kaiden. Yep, I'm doing it on my own, so I'm excited to be on this site. Maybe I'll make some friends to support and be supported by on here, atleast that is what I am hopeful for. I've lost a total of 9 pounds and counting. God is good and with my through all of this. Congrats to everyone else that had band placement, and proud of you for the weight you've lost and the strength you have! Good Luck!! ~Nicole:biggrin:

Thanks you guys, I'm totally going to try them all, because the drinking hot coffee's not working at all. I really need to sleep I have a little one to get up with but it hurts too much and i can't. :thumbup:
