How do you know?

How do you know when you have the right amount in your band?

Do you need to reach the stage of an ONLY liquid diet?

Why is it that only icecream and mashed potatoes go through? Lettuce, meat, etc. does not go through and it hurts really bad.

if nothing goes through but ice cream and mashed potatoes you are too tight. call your doc asap and have some removed. the ideal restriction is for about 1/2 cup of food (chewed well) to stay in the band for 2-3 hours. of course if you drink something it will wash it through, so take that into consideration.
