You are right it does go down better standing up. If I get stuck or almost stuck standing and walking makes it go down quicker.

My doctor told me if I had to stand up it was too tight. :rolleyes: I like it that way but of course there is more risk for erosion, etc.

Good ole standing is a great way to eat! However, I try to improve my posture and sit up straight, when I sit. Gravity sure does help!

Yep, standing helps. It's like when you sit it pinches the band closed or something. I eat sitting most of the time but if it gets stuck I just stand or walk and if fixes itself.

Thanks all I am thinking it is a tad tight I have a 11cc band with 6 cc fill.....the walking helps when It feels stuck..or holding my head back so my neck is straight.....the thing is I have figued out what hurts is the ball of slime you get...not the food ...food never comes up ... just the slime.....If it continues to be I can stand to get it down without problems I may take a cc out at 4cc I could eat without problems...not like a sandwich or pizza but just a good dinner salmon veggies etc

      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.
