He told me that the more fills you get the chances of your band slipping. He said he will only do a maxiumum of 4 fills.

Good Morning LB People- I am 20 days Post op and had a few concerns. My band is a 6 CC band and was filled with 2 CC's on the day of surgery. At the beggining, of course I was eating only liquids and everything was fine. I had to crush my pills and mix with yogurt for the first week and a half. I noticed when I ate the yogurt it was thick and I could feel it go all the way down my throat to my stomach. Once i got to soft solids and now solids I didnt have any issue with food going down. Im not sure if this is normal or not.. I have not had ANY breads or beef because I know it's a common "stuck" foods, but I have had NO problem eating anything else. Im not feeling restricted and Im just curious if this is normal since I have not had a fill yet. I know after fills it becomes much tighter and harder to eat food. Someone help :smile2:

Thank yall so much for the encouraging words! It makes me feel so much better about everything. Are yall able to drink carbonated drinks as well? What about alcohol? My doctor will not do a fill until 40-50 lbs are lost. I've lost a total of 20lbs already. Have yall tried bread or meat yet? I have no problem with chicken...
