Eating Question

After a few fills you will get "tight" or the band will restrict you more in that the opening to your stomach will get smaller and you will have to be careful of what you just eat or chew a little and try to get through that opening to your stomach. So learn now to slow down, and chew to get in the good habits of eating and living with the band. God Bless.

I am 6 weeks post op and had my first fill Monday. I am still hungry between meals, but I have definitely had to slow down when I eat. Rice and bread are no longer good friends of mine. Being stuck is no fun! Before my fill, I could eat anything and be fine. Yesterday, I had sushi and today I had a little of wheat bread and both got stuck. It made me feel like I was going to throw up and was really uncomfortable. After a few minutes (luckily) both went down. I made the sushi work in small bites but it was not so great because the best part of a sushi roll is all the flavors coming together! Today, I ditched the bread. Btw, I have 3 cc's in my band. When is your first fill?
