i have this problem very badly, and my band is by no means to tight,, i drank, 2 iced teas at a party this week end, before the grill was ready then proceded to eat potato salad 1 1/2 hot dogs, Beans, and baked ziti, and it all wnet down with no problems,, , yettt, in the am i cant even swallow anything but boiling hot broth, ( dont drink coffe) by noon, about 1/2 the time i can ordere a hot brothy Soup and it clears me out and i can eat,, its the middel of the summer, theres not much hot soup around, so i end up trhowing up, the food i eat with mucus, about 10 oz of food and 4-5 ozs of mucus then i can get food down, easily,, some days no matter how much i through up it will not clear.. and i end up wasteing my entier meal. i am always using a spit cup,,

to claify, i am not to tight, i chew my food well enough, ( ie soup) i have taken claite d but the pills have a Jello like coating that makes them swell and it blocked my up for 2 days, if i had know about my post nasel drip was a problem i would have just opted for the bypass and hopefully had less problems, my wife had her band done, and shes lost like 90 lbs, i lost about 50 on my own to prove i could do the band, but since december i have lost like 5 lbs, my doctor thinks i am cheating the band and discounts my mucus problem and calls me an emigma. i end up eating things that will go through, like Soups, shakes, slushies, , i have completely cut out fast food like mc donalds, and bk, now im at wawa, every day looking for soups,, ,, i hate this band?!?!?!?

I'm reviving this old thread because I have allergies, asthma, post-nasal drip....you name it! Anyway, I want to know what people do besides warm liquids and Water. That hasn't worked for me so far. I tried to have hot tea and it sits in my chest hurting until I spit it up with a bunch of mucous(sorry if TMI). Is someone using a particular nasal spray or medication that helps? I have used Nasarel but it does nothing. Should I try Sudafed strips or what?

I had my surgery in 2007 and over the last year do the same thing you are talking about. Have you found anything that works??? I can't eat or drink much of anything until about 2:00 or I will throw it up with like a "mucus plug" then I can eat almost too normal and drink fine up in the evenings. I tried squirting a 1/4 of a lemon early in the mornings for a few days and that did not help either. My weight is fine but it seems unhealthy to eat nothing until 2:00. you can reach me at worththesplurge@yahoo.com if you can help. Thank you!!!!! Bran

      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.
