PattyGirl66, I was totally scared! Iam just entering the mushie phase. I didn't know about the waiting time after eating ( I am seeing my neutritionist tomorrow)! I should be getting tips and a menu from her.The clear liquids phase was really hard for me towards the end.

PattyGirl66, I definitely know soda is out of the question for me because it did feel as if I was going to explode! I guess it's just different from person to person. Thanks !

Congrats to you! That's awesome!

I am about 1 month and a week since being banded. Today did the worse thing ever ; took a sip of Coke. I am not a soda drinker to begin with but just wanted to satisfy a craving. It felt as if the gas got stuck at the band and I was going to explode. I got so scared! Very stupid thing to do but I wont be doing that again. So if you are thinking of drinking soda, my advice would be don't!

Floridays I'm happy to hear this is an ok feeling and that I am not alone in it! Thanks for you help.

2muchfun, Amazing what a few words can do. You really helped me out. I will keep your post handy and read it often! Thanks so much.

I think that's what I am afraid of... Even one pound is to much! I know that's probably going to be the case so ,I understand . Thanks!

Hi all! I am on my 2nd month and down 24 lbs. I am starting the " mushy food"'phase but I feel guilty eating. Does anyone else feel guilty eating; almost like I'm going to gain it all back even though I am following the rules to a T. Thanks for your help!

Had my first fill today. Not that bad but I was scared. I started out with 4cc already when I had the band placed and at the one month mark had another 1cc placed. So far so good. Just a little pain at the site but not to bad.

Hi all! Had my band placed on July27 and at the one month mark down 24Lbs. Still craving but working through it.
