Currently I have 5cc in my band, I think it might be to much because I do vomit often. My throat feels sore today at the base of my neck. Wondering if that's the case or if I'm just having tighter days more often? Just don't want to have my band slip.

Vomiting is nothing to play around with, go back to dr. The sore throat maybe stick to liquids for a few days. For me the weather (cold mostly) makes my band tight in am. I saw suggestions here, to drink something hot, I started drinking hot Water with a little lemon in it. Or heat up a cup of almond milk and a splash of coffee for Breakfast.

Even after 6 years, I still have trouble, so don't beat yourself over the head. Eventually you will find a rhythm to the eating and drinking, and a reminder no big bites

good luck

Your band is probably just a little to full, Have you dr. Remove a very small amount & see if that helps. If it still does it remove a tad more. Better that than having a slip. That is what happened to me & Dr. Said give it a few more days for my band to a just & boy was that a mistake. Ended up having to have band completely emptied for about 4 months because of slight slip,am having it slowly filled again now. I'm almost 4 years post op

      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.
