that or you ate too fast, or took too big of a bite.....

If you just got a fill a few days ago you could have irratated your band. It sounds like you might have eaten to fast, too big a bit and/or not chewed the bit to mush. Your bits will have to get smaller with each fill and chewing till mush will be a must. If you can still drink with no problem then you are probably not too tight. I would do liquids/mushies for a while (day or 2). If you are having a hard time drinking then call your doctor and get a little unfill. It is always best to call your doctor and let them know what happened.

Good luck, hope you feel better soon.

I am curious too as to how you can tell if it is too tight. I had mine filled 5 days ago and ever sincee I feel like something is stuck in my throat. I can still get food down and I chew alot. I am not getting choked but still feel like something is stuck. I am having a hard time getting my pills to go down. I still taste them several hours later. Any ideas??

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
