  1. Hi I just got my new fill 7 days ago to 6.5. I couldn't even eat a hotdog. I can't even eat noodles without it getting stuck and throwing up. It takes me 5 minutes to get it unstuck by coughing it up. Water goes down fine and I am less hungry. Uncooked veggies like cucumbers don't go down easy either. All I can have is porridge and chicken and fish. Beef gets stuck easily. When it gets stuck i lose my appetite. Just want to know if band gets easier or if I should loosen it by .05 cc to 6cc. I'm afraid of esophagous erosion and reflux which I don't have. I can stay at this level just have to chew all food forever to make sure it goes down easy. Did this sound like greenzone or red zone? Thanks for your help.
  2. Hello, My name is Vinh and I recently got the Lapband in 11/16. I am at a 4 restriction now and going to a 6 soon. I wanted to see if I can get help with motivation and best practices from a mentor by phone or text. I have lost 5 lbs since getting this surgery but I can do a better job at at the food and hope to be successful. Thank you! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    New to the banded life

    I just didn't get enough guidance. I didn't have the support needed. Is there any tips you would recommend. I am getting the band tightened in 2 weeks. I figure than I will start doing more liquid diet. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  4. Hello, I got my band on November 14th. I didn't follow protocol and eat liquid diet. My weight has remained steady at 260 lbs even 3 weeks after surgery. There is no restriction on my band yet. I do get a lot of gas and burps which never happened before. I have to chew real well or things will get stuck. I'm trying to keep a good attitude but afraid this might Not work. I do eat less but not eating correctly. Will acid reflux go away? I get CCS on Dec 21. Hopefully restriction will help.me be more disciplined. I am able to go to work like normal. It doesn't change too much in my life other than I eat extremely slow. Kind of nice to enjoy a good healthy meal that takes 30 minutes to consume. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
