I agree. I don't think you should get a fill in my opinion because I've had 3 and can eat quite a bit if I wanted. I stop myself. For me and many others, breads and rice get stuck. Getting stuck is not fun at all.

<br /><br /><br /> As my NP says, Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. You're in thee phase coined as "Bandster Hell" before your first fill. Carbs will not give you the full feeling like Protein. The food has to trigger the nerves and like they toold you, "sliders" will not do that. Once you get your first or second fill, you will most ikely find foods you can't tolerate/get through the band. After surgery I could eat 3 pieces of pizza(shouldn't have), but now, even the smalllest bite gets stuck in the band. This is the same for most carbs. It hurts like hell and I'm left sliming and vomiting. Not worth it. I've made some mistakes, but I'm getting on track now so ill tell you like others have told me. Follow the diet like they advised and you will be successful. You have to change your lifestyle/habits and you don't want to stretch your pouch at only 3 weeks out. Also, your body is not supposed to reject most foods. You should be able to eat most things. You have to make the choices to not eat some things. Best of luck Autumn
