I was banded 3/29 and everything's been going very smooth. Never had any restriction at all after about 10 days after surgery. This afternoon I ate a hard boiled egg with out even thinking about the band,talkingand eating don't mix. This is the very first time for the"golfball in the chest"feeling so I know this thing works.terryr

I know what you mean! I was banded on 3/22/07. The third piece of sushi I ate for dinner did not go down. First PB, not fun. What's weird is that I had the same meal 2 days ago without a problem. I guess the rice was a little too dry or maybe I took too big of a bite. I don't know. I excused myself to the restaurant and up it came. Oh well. Now I know.

LOL....I was banded on 3/30 and TODAY was my episode. Talking & eating at lunch. (I'm a teacher so heaven forbid there be a realistic time frame for lunch) And then....wham-O! I could feel the bubble just under the food and I just prayed...please let it gurgle loose, cause I really don't wanna barf! LOL :Cry:

Needless to say....I survived, I walked it off for a couple of minutes and the rest of lunch was either A) chewing or talking...not trying to do both!

Too funny!:bounce:

I love hard boiled eggs, but I can't eat the yolks. They'll stick me up whether I'm paying attention or not. I dont mind just snacking on the whites though.

I had my first PB experience when I just came home from the hospital on 3/31/07

I was cutting up my pain meds <since I could not take any of the liquid because I am allergic>, and I thought I cut them up pretty small. I took a quarter of the pill and BAM it stuck.... I was in such a state... then I remember someone on here saying that relaxing and let it do its thing would be best.... Sure enough, within a moments time, it came up with a lovely ball of slime. Needless to say, I never took the pills again and had my usband go out and buy me some liquid tylenol!

You all seem to have a problem with eggs. It was one of my first soft solids I tried. Never had a problem.... Weird how we all are different.

Came on tonight to make sure I wasn't the only one with a golf ball feeling and the slime. I had my first fill a week ago and have been having a little trouble keeping things down. I go slow, chew, chew, chew but still the food seems to want to come up. I'm going to try liquids for a couple days and see if maybe I'm swollen from the fill.
