Marla290 3 Posted November 8, 2011 I had a fill yesterday of .6 with a total of 5.5 and I definitely feel different! I know it's probably too soon to tell, but all the other times when I had fills I felt the same. Bad thing is I had to learn the hard way! I was on liquids yesterday and suppose to be on liquids/soft foods today and I ate some chicken! OMG! this was my 2nd stuck episode and it was very bad....I know it is all my fault and I don't know why I don't listen...I'm guessing since the first few fills I was able to eat on the 2nd day, so I tried it. What should I do? I feel like I irritated my bad, since some of it came back up, well mostly slime..Sorry for the TMI! I'm assuming liquids for the next 2 days? Also how many CC's do u have and how long did it take u to get there? I feel like I jumped up to 5 so quickly, in 2 months...Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't freak out if you keep feeling that "stuck" feeling. Learn to eat differently with different types of food. Find out what is difficult to eat, and learn to stay away from those foods. Living with the band is a entirely new way of approaching food, and how you eat. Also, with restriction, do not try to eat more than you should. You will learn when to stop., which means smaller portions = weight loss. chicken for me has to be very tender. (soft) I am not successful when I try to eat beef, so I generally stay away from it. I like my band tight, and the feedback it gives me every time I eat. Learn to listen to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you for replying, so far I haven't had anything that can possibly get stuck. I made a chicken veggie Soup and have been have that today. I counted my calories for today and i'm still a bit over 1,000, is that too much? I'm actually hungry right now, but don't want to eat more than I should.
