So for almost 2 weeks now I have been having trouble keeping things down, after everything I try to eat it comes back up...and I start hiccuping right away...and they are loud and annoying. So I think an unfill is needed right? Also ladies does your bra ever make you feel like your choking when food is stuck?

I am having that right now, 2weeks ago I had a 1/2cc added and been sliming every since, the only time my food stays down is when I eat with a baby spoon and that's usually a creamed Soup, and no to the bra question

But I have lost 6 pounds since! I will wait a few more days cause I have swelling after a fill and sometimes it takes a while for things to feel right

as long as you are able to drink fluids and stay hydrated give your band a chance. first make sure you are taking small enough bites, and chew well and wait to see if it goes through, you will know fairly quickly. continue eating this way. usually about half way through your meal and you are eating properly you will notice that the food is going through just fine and you don't have sliming. sometimes it take more than a few weeks for everything to settle down. good luck.

When I was too tight, I did indeed undo my bra just not to feel so confined. Not sure if it helped really, but at least psychologically I felt like I was being proactive.

I have been having the same thing minus the bra problem. I am even experiencing it with my Protein shakes in the morning and even pudding, etc. Thicker things that normally wouldn't budge the slime ball to come it does. I just made an appointment to get some Fluid taken out. As much as I love seeing the number going down the scale I hate that I can barely eat anything and always find myself with a tight chest and loud hiccups.

      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.
