Are there foods you can eat when your band has no fill that you can't eat when you're at your sweet spot? I'm just wondering if the stickiness or clumpiness is a bigger issue when your band is tighter.

All solid food is a bigger issue when you get to restriction. Slider foods will probably at least most of the time, go down fine. This is when your choices of food make the biggest difference. Foods that are a bigger problem for some will not be for others. It is different for everyone so you just have to try things and figure it out. I can eat most everything, but if I try to just pick up a piece of chicken like a thigh and eat if off the bone, I will be throwing it up at some point. I have to take it off the bone and cut it up. Then it goes down fine... weird I know but it is what it is.... Hope this helps..... Hugs!!!!!

I had surgery March 9th and to this day i have found nothing that I can't eat. To the point that I gained 2 pounds. So back to the softer foods and have lost the 2 pounds again. Trying to stay on track again.

Well when you get restriction, this will all be different. You could need several fills before this happens. It depends on how agressive your doctor is with them. I had an agressive fill doc so I had restriction the first fill. Try to be patient Ok? Hugs.......

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
