I drank protein shakes from GNC and drank a ton of soup. On the go I dropped a boullion cube in a hot cup of water and let it soak. I also bought ramen and threw away the noodles and drank the broth only.

Update: I've been able to keep food down with no problems. I think I may have just scratched the inside of my throat. Thanks to all of you for your concern and posts!

I didn't eat until about 11:30 this morning and I went with some family to a restaurant in town. I ordered a sirloin tip steak with some potatoes and veggies. Anyway, I'm suffering a bit from allergies and my nose was stuffed, so when I took a bit of a big bite of my steak it was hot and instead of chewing and swallowing bits until it was gone I swallowed most of it in one go. Wasn't really thinking about it till I got terribly stuck. Very painful. So I went to the bathroom and after a minute or two I vomited a bit of steak and some mucus with blood in it. Should I be particularly concerned? I'm not in any pain and I was able to eat afterwards with no problems. Thanks in advance for your response and I apologize for the long post!

It's April, where are you at? I started December 13th at 299 and now I am 264! That is a 35 lb loss.

I've been trying to do 1,000 calories daily but I prolly get in about 1200. I think I'm in bandster hell! In the last 4 weeks since I've introduced regular food I've only lost 3 lbs. I've got 4cc in my band.

Had 4, count em 4 ccs put in my band today! I was so surprised lol. On all liquids for 24hrs of course. Did a barium swallow with the needle sticking out of my belly and things went through fine. Is this a normal amount for a first fill?

I'm still in my weight loss journey only 3 weeks post op but yes I can feel mine, especially when I lay down. It doesn't stick out (yet) but I can definitely feel it.

Banded Dec 13th I've lost 19 lbs so far. Fill is next Thursday.

I'm squishyjenn. Anyone can add me!

Three weeks in here! Week one I lost about 9 lbs and week 2 I lost 11. This week (on mushies) I gained a pound. Thoughts? Is my body just being stubborn or maybe the mushies are making it convert everything to fat? I've been eating salmon, protein drinks, low fat cottage cheese and 100 calorie soups mostly.

Don't do it. I am on mushies and was stupid enough to eat a SPOONFUL of rice last night. I am three weeks out. I got stuck and it was so painful! I had to spit stuff that popped back up and it made me get a bit lightheaded. Definitely gross and awful.

Woooo! That's amazing! I'm a week and a half out now.

Yay!!!! Good luck!

Tomorrow marks 1 week post surgery. I've lost 9 pounds so far!

Let's start a new thread! What kind of things do you like to put in your Greek yogurt to amp up the flavor or what do you like to use it as instead of something else? I just discovered Greek yogurt+ adding to taste a flavor Water packet (cherry limeade, yum!).
