Well I guess there is some carbonation, however when you buy it from the icee machine at gas stations or in Walmart the coke is flat so you don't have the bubbles. Also they have frezzer pops in Dr.Pepper, Root beer, 7 up and Orange Crush that work well. I buy these at Walgreens.

I don't drink soda. I tryed to take a taste of Coke and I thought I was dying. I have been banded since 07/08 and it killed me. If I need the taste I will drink a coke icee, no carbonation.

I had the same problem with my 2nd fill, I had to have .5cc's removed to stop the pb'ing. but i didhave to have another fill 5 weeks later.

Happen to me last weekend, received a fill on Saturday. I have a 10cm band with a 4cc fill range. I was already at 1.8cc and had a fill of another cc. bringing me to 2.8cc's.

Water and liquids were going down with no problems on Saturday. On Sunday, I cold not hold down my own saliva. I was TOO TIGHT. It is not a good feeling at all. I went and has some .6cc removed. Now I have 2.2cc's and I feel like I have no restriction again.

Being to tight is not a good thing. If you go to long you will get dehydrated.

My 1st fill was for 2 cc's,I lost 21 lbs in a month. I got rather tight and had the dr to remove 1/4cc out...big mistake, I have gained 5 lbs in 2 weeks. Going back in 2 weeks to have another fill.

hi there, too cute but amazing

I've lost -

a mid size microwave - 36

a rack of baby back ribs - 2

38 lbs - gone for good, as good as gone!

Hi there, I was banded on 07/30/08. My starting weight was 267. I have lost 35lbs to date. However, I am having a very very very hard time finding things that I can eat. I don't think I'm too tight, but I'm starting to worry. Some days, I can get canned chicken, tuna and salmon down. (very small amount) Most days, I can't hold anything down. I need help! Should I go have some Fluid removed out of my band or wait it out.

I can keep all liquids down, no problems. it's food that I'm having the trouble with. Can someone give me a suggestion on things to try to eat?

Thanks!
