Hi
I've been banded 6 years.
I've never been sick or choked on foods because of the band.
I don't eat rice or apple skins because they feel strange going down but all other foods are fine. I eat all carbs in moderation.
I take tiny bite and make sure I finish what I have in my mouth before I take my second or third bite.... and I don't drink carbonated beverages.
Try not to compare yourself to others... don't go into this journey saying... "I'll never be able to eat this or that ever again."... take it one day at a time.
If you have any questions please feel free to email me.

I was banded this morning, everything went real well!! Very little gas pain and slightly sore in the port area... Doc said liquids only for 5 days (water,crystal light). Any other ideas on low cal liquids? ??
