i had the band put in a few years ago and had to have it removed...just in december i had the band put back in. i had severe complications with the 1st band, i had no fluid and could not eat anything and barely drink anything. i was in/out of the hospital just to get hydrated. i delt with that issue for almost a year and couldnt deal with it anymore..i suggest going to your dr and making sure there isnt a blockage or slippage in the band..i'm not saying thats what it is. do u remember eating something and it got stuck a few days ago?
you need to realize that you're still in the healing process. its totally normal to get hungry even though you already have the band. the hardest part is behind you. make sure you are getting enough protein! be patient, once you get your fill, then its a different story. good luck!
They have whole wheat, spinich, sundried tomato tortillas, i would opt for one of those. instead of using 2 pieces of tortillas, use one and fold in 1/2..remember our eyes are bigger than out stomachs..hope your doing well!
i replaced pasta with spaghetti squash! it light, hardly any calories and can serve with almost anything. if i want a sandwhich, i use cold cuts and add avacado with some mustard you can add some cole slaw/broccoli slaw mix they sell them in bags...it gives a crunchy texture and all healthy
i find it hard sometimes to sit and eat at the same time...a had the band before and had to have it removed bc of complications and just had it put back in. i would vomit all the time, even if there wasn't anything to throw up. it sounds gross, but i used to have a spit up bottle in my car bc i never know if a drink would come up and when ur driving and have nowhere to pull over, it sucks and can be messy. food that is also lubricated/juicy (sounds dirty..lol) does go down easier. i find chicken can be to dry on the inside and will get stuck. after you get stuck definately go to hot broth and tea for a day and then liquids the next and so on.. hope that helps
i'm not really sure. right before my fill i started to feel a little pain on my side and wasn't sure if it was possible gas (literally 3 mins before my fill) just on liquids today, so i'll know more tomorrow and the next. just remember that everyones body is differenti would say just take things slowly. how much are you able to eat?

ive said in alot of my posts, that i feel every bandster should invest in a juicer..you get your fruits and veggies and add some protein powder (vanilla or plant protein). especially on days when yoou feel stuck, you can always try and sip your nutrients. making sure you have enough protein will help to not lose hair.
