I am 52 and banded exactly two yrs ago. I reached my drs goal in a year, and have not lost to reach my personal goal... but I have had some set backs... but YES it works!!!!!! The stories of rapid results always make me a little discouraged, for me it was fast at first and has crept since.. it is what it is, everyones metabolism and health issues and lifestyles are different. Realize your path will be unique like you are. But test yes he's it does work!
Its miserable when that happens and I can only tell you what works for me. Yes, sip warm liquids, even Water. Not hot! And no caffeine....
I learned the hard way not to eat after dinner, or not long after. For me it doesn't move and my night is hell. If I just HAVE to eat late I go for a little bit of something totally smooth and only a little. But I try to avoid.
The day, or two or three sometimes are difficult because of the swelling and irritation from being sick, if you got much stomach acid up with a few hard wretches then its bad. Time to go liquid and slowly back to food or you will keep it irritated....
Good luck. I hope you feel better. And always remember to just give in and call the dr when there is any question!!!
Smiles.....
