I am 9 weeks out and still can eat and drink anything too! Never had to chew or cut up tiny bites. Never had anything get stuck either! I am going for my 3rd fill tomorrow. I don't drink with my meals and I don't chew like your suppose too. I also have a hard time with making my meal last 30 mins....usually 15mins for me. I too am hoping once they hit the "sweet spot" with my fills things will change!! Good Luck to you!

My port is located on the right side between my belly button and side. Right in the middle. Out of the way!!

Hi Everyone, I was banded on 12/17/10 in Cooperstown, NY. Surgery went well....no pain! It's been 8 weeks now and no weight loss. Trying to figure out the eating part. I have been told Im not getting enough Protein so I have to figure all that out. I eat less and healthier and excercise so Im not sure what the problem is. I was also told it takes a while to get to the "sweet spot" and to be patient! I only need to lose 60lbs and was hoping to have started losing some by now! I know I need to be patient! I have had 2 fills and go for another one tomorrow. Hope the Dr. put more in. I haven't had anything get stuck or anything signs of having this thing in!!! Hope to learn more on this site! Thanks everyone for sharing!! Mary
