Thanks Lucy Lover! Maybe i won't board the dog and it will give me a reason to get out and walk her...I keep hearing that walking is a big help with gas pain.

Yes! Avoid those foods all together. Listen to your band . These foods can cause you great complications if you throw them up on a regular basis. You can cause a slip. You can also learn to eat around your band allowing yourself to continue forcing your "stuck" foods down which wouldnt make the band as effective as it should be! The pain i get with stuck foods is VERY UNPLEASENT and not even worth eating to me. I stay away from them.

I've been struggling with this same question!! Thank you for posting - and thank you everyone who responded!! Much better info than my patient advocate gave!

I experienced the same thing.they are threatened and don't want to have to step their game up to keep up. But it always got me wondering why they were competing with me in the first place.... didn't they know I was fabulous from the get-go, so there's no point in competing. Lol

My favorite mushie meal was spaghetti sauce put in a blender and served with cottage cheese....taste a little like lasagna.....

THis is my biggie now too- I have "trained" myself to not drink with meals. I have been thinking bout this for me- and I think first I will count to myself when I chew- maybe 20 chews? And while chewing put my fork/utensils down, then wait a mo then start again. I have always been a really really fast eater, it runs in the family- you should see my dad!! One of the learning curves we face, I guess.

My dr. Said just liquid...no purée. My favorite broths are from homemade Soups and bean broth, I just make sure I strain everything out. I freeze it so after fills when I have to be on liquid for a day or two I have it on hand. I hope this helps.

Go on liquids right away and make an appointment to see your dr. You may need to take some Fluid out. Once you regurgitate you can start to swell which will only get worse if you try to,eat. Hope this helps....
