I had my second fill on Monday and everything that I eat is getting stuck. Does this mean that the band is too tight??? I'm eating soft foods (cottage cheese, scrambled eggs etc) and I'm chewing well. If the band is tight, shouldn't the food be staying in the small stomach and not getting stuck in between?? Or is the band not tight enough and food is getting stuck between the 2 pouches?

eggs are an easily 'stuck' food for many (they're rubbery and tend to ball up together). If you know you're chewing really well and it's still happening today...call your doc for a small unfill (sometimes a tiny bit out makes a huge difference). Best wishes! -BG

If you're taking small bites, chewing well and waiting between bites...and not drinking with your meal...then you're too tight.

Not necessarily! I cannot eat eggs no matter how they are cooked. My band tightness also fluctuates from day to day. There are many reasons why a band may be tight. Are you drinking all the Water you are suppose to? Do you have a cold or sinus issues? Did you follow your doctor's orders and stay on liquids for 2 days after your fill to allow the swelling in your stomach to go down? If you have been stuck since your fill it is a mad viscous cycle. If you have a stuck episode you are suppose to return to liquids only for the remainder of that day because getting stuck will cause your stomach to swell around the band.

I feel it takes over a week to really know exactly what your normal restriction is because swelling after an adjustment really takes some time to go away.

I am not your doctor but..... I think you are ok for now as long as you can keep fluids down. If it continues for the next few days I think it may be to tight and you need to have some saline removed. Again just my opinion from my experience as a bandster. I think you should contact your doctor if it goes on for a few days and again immediatly if your not keeping fluids down.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
