  1. I actually asked my doctor if drinking water fast matters. and i was happy with the response i received. It does not matter how fast you drink as long as you wait before and after eating. I asked if it would stretch my pouch to drink fast, and he said water goes right through it so it does not matter
  2. yes , thank you
  3. I was wondering if anyone smokes hookah here that has a lap band. I know it shouldn't harm the lap band but i wanted to double check because i am paranoid
  4. Hi i was wondering if anyone has gotten stuck before a fill , and if so on what? thanks :bandit , im just very scared to even get stuck once. Everyone says you will know and feel it , but im scared to feel that "it'
  5. I was wondering if anyone drinks and eats in the same time , or doesnt wait all 30 minutes ? and if they feel weird when they do this. It is summer time and I am always thirsty and find it hard not to drink a lot. I also wanted to know of anyone drinks faster than recommended , or how fast do people drink ? for the first 2 weeks i was told to drink an ounce in fifteen minutes , i am starting my fourth week of post op diet , and i cant possibly wait 15 minutes to drink. am i harming myself ?
  6. I was wondering if you can harm your band if you drink too fast ? Is there a reason why we can not drink and eat inthe same time ? does anyone ? what happens if you do

  9. Hi, I am starting my mushie food stage in a few days and was wondering if anyone ever broke down fiber one cereal in skim milk and made it mushie during this stage. I am getting no fiber and was thinking this can give me some fiber in my body. I was wondering if anyone has ever tried it or thinks its a bad/good idea.
  10. yeah thats what i meant . i am not planning on eating them all day . i just want to get some education on whats allowed and whats tolerated by people. thank you
  11. do u eat the pita with the falafel or just the falafel balls ? they are really tasty you should try them.
  12. I was wondering if anyone eats blintzes , tostitos/nachos or french fries-baked once in the solid stage.
  13. thank you so much. very helpful information.
  14. I am really confused about foods that are tolerable and not , like people have been eating toasted bagels and everythings alright ? I am new at this so am not sure how anytihng works but i wanted to know a few things. 1- Does anyone eat hot dogs ? and if so when after surgery did they first have one 2- How about string cheese? 3- salads ? lettuce and all that? 3- Does anyone tolerate pizza? if so , which is the easiest I know i will lose my cravings since i recently just got surgery but i just wanted to know what i can have say i would go to a restaurant with some friends.
  15. I was wondering when something gets stuck how do you know its stuck. I mean im sure theres an uncomfortable feeling but i wanted to know what kind of feeling and how you would approach it if its in public. ?
