When I have tried to drink beer it does not feel well. It seems like the beer goes down fine but the burp can't come out from beneath the band. So just imagine feeling like you need to take a nice big beer burp and not being able to..... not worth it to me. So I just had to accept life without beer.

I would compare what I feel to when I was pre-op and would take a a big bite of a dry chicken breast and it going down. It can be very uncomfortable, and often I just get tired of that feeling and stop eating even though I'm not full. Tonight I tried to chew my food even more than I had been and that seemed to help with that feeling. Maybe that has been the problem all along. I still feel like I may need a bit more to get to the green zone to feel full on a half cup of food.

OK, so I was banded on 6/3 and have had two fills so far. I feel restriction, but it just feels uncomfortable as I feel the food going down. I can still eat almost as much as pre-op so I don't think I'm in the Green Zone yet. It seems the more restriction I have the more uncomfortable it is to eat. Has anyone else experienced this as you approach the Green Zone? I'm curious what the Green Zone feels like when you swallow your food. Does it get better?
