ok so i got my second fill on 1-24-07. my total fill is 3.4 and have been eating solids since last friday, my question is every time i eat something i feel it going down, it almost feels like its getting stuck and is bothersome but it does not hurt, but then i can feel it pass. I have not have any pb yet, but i do get slimmie. I chew my food really good but that still happens. Do you guys think im to tight or will i be ok in the near future. i just don't want to damage my band!! any advise will be appreciated.:)

I would take it very easy with food, and stick to mushies for a few days, let your stomach fully calm down. If you don't allow it to settle you take a risk of starting an evil cycle of eating, and causing swelling to make you PB, then it happens each time you eat. Better to take it slow a few days longer, let it relax, and adjust to the new fill, and then start in with solids slowly again and see if it helps. Never a good idea to court a PB!!! Good Luck!!

Also - Take the tiniest possible bite and Chew it till your jaw aches...try chewing even more than you ever thought you could when you do start with solids again.

      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.
