It's been over three years since getting my band. Original weight was 274 and today i am 247. I am not happy with the results and feel I have done nothing but fight with this band. I have had numerous fills and unfills. Currently I at 1cc. Certain foods do not react well with me, and I find it easier to eat mushy food. Last week at a party i had one bit of stew beef. I immediately felt stuck and my band was swollen for four days. I am so disgusted. It was a social occasion, and i was enjoying conversation. By sticking this one inch cube of beef into my mouth, and not chewing well, i had four days of pain to deal with afterwards. I am going to see a different bariatric surgeon about getting a gastric sleeve. I don't want to spend the rest of my life on mush and getting slimed.

Yesterday was a bad day. I decided to try eating a tuna salad sandwich for the first time. Bad news! I immediately had chest pain and it lingered for 8 hours!!! Today I'm back on mushies. I guess I can't tolerate bread!

:frown:I'm struggling with the soft food diet. I am eating way too much food. I can easily eat over a cup of food and don't feel the restrictions as I did last week. My weight loss has actually stopped and I gained 2 pounds. It's been only 15 days since my operation.
