Thanks Toddy - hadn't thought about 'how' I drink - if I sip I'm ok. It was ok before the 2nd fill - amazing how much difference 1/2 ml makes to the band!!

Hi everyone - I'm new to the forum and am 3mths post op - have lost just under 10kg (22pounds) and had my 2nd fill done last Friday. Ive been struggling all week with both food and drinks but am worried it hurts so much (heartburn) after only drinking Water. Food is extremely challenging and I've only got 2ml in the band!! Any suggestions or advice on what I can eat and how I can drink water (or anything) without the heartburn I would be very grateful. Thanks to everyone who posts here - its been invaluable to me and I wish each and everyone all the very best of success on this life changing journey. Petal =)
