Thanks guys. I appreciate your feedback. Yesterday was a little better. I was able to take in some broth, water and a little soup later on. Today was even better. I had my normal cup of coffee this morning (of course had to sip very slowly) and then a little yogurt a little later on. For lunch I had a little turkey chilli and was able to keep everything down today. So it's getting better and as long as each day gets better I will stay at the current fill level. If things don't continue to get better, I will definitely see my doctor ro have some fluid taken out.

Hi Heather! Thanks for the response. I too was thinking that I might be too tight. They did not tell me to stay away from carbonation. I only added the gingerale because I thought it might help to settle my stomach. I am sipping on some warm broth now, so far so good. I'm taking it really slow though, only a spoonful every 10-15 minutes. So we'll see how it goes..... Would you please tell me what you mean by "flushing"?

Hello everyone, I am new to the group and blogging. I was banded on December 1, 2010. My starting weight was 226lbs; my current weight is 181.6. I had my band tightened (filled) on this past Friday (September 16, 2011). I have not been able to consume anything since then. I am having a really rough time with this adjustment. For the past two days I have not even been able to consume liquids, maybe a swallow or two but if I have anymore than that it comes back up. I am really hungry and have a constant headache. Today I started out by just trying to sip some cranberry juice mixed with gingerale. So far it's been ok. I've only taken two swallows about 15 minutes apart and it seems to be staying down. I'm hoping todaygoes better than the last two days. Has anyone else had this experience after an adjustment? Please provide some feed back for me guys, I really need it. I would like to hear that this will subside very soon, as I really don't want to go back to the doctor to have fluid taken out...................
