Is this normal?

Okay so I had my second fill yesterday my first fill I didn't feel anything really. So all of this is new.. I am now at 3.5ccs. So... I did the 24 hours of liquids like they wanted me to. I had a yogurt and ceral(dry) this morning, all was good. For dinner I made a hamburger and some fries. Well I tried eating a fry and almost died. It was immediately stuck. I stopped...I let it clear down, felt it unlodge and what not. (Not my first stuck episode.) So I thought I hadn't chewed enough. I then ate a few pieces of the hamburger, all was good, went down fine. I went back to the fries...made sure to chew and chew...stuck again.

So my question is...am I too tight? Or is it I'm just not going to be able to tolerate fries?

It sounds to me like you can no longer tolerate french fries and that would be a good thing

French fries are one of the worst foods you can eat (all fried foods really). I have a french fry story of my own that I have told before, but will tell again for you.

After my 2nd fill, early in my journey, I had not eaten much that day and it was already time to go pick up my grandchild from school. On my way to the school I drove thru at McDonalds and got a small coffee and a small french fry. I pulled up in the 'flow lane' in front of the school where a line of parents wait for the bell to ring and kids to start pouring out the doors. I liked to get there early to get a good spot right in front. I sat there and drank most of the coffee. I have no problem drinking before there is any food in my pouch. I figured I could eat maybe 1/2 the small order of fries with no problem. I ate about 4 small fries and made sure I chewed them very well. All of a sudden it hit me! Slime! OMG! I knew the fries were going to come back up! There I was sitting in the flow lane which was now full and there were many other people standing around in front of the school. All I could do was hunch down and grab the McDonalds bag to throw up in. That was my frist time throwing up after being banded. At this point I don't even miss french fries.

It's been almost 3 years and I still can't eat french fries!

Nope. I haven't even had a fill yet, but when I tried fries they got stuck. It was a terrible enough experience that I will never try them again.
