I was banded on October 12th and have not had a fill yet. I can eat almost anything, except for dryer things: breads, dry chicken, but the worst thing that does not go down....LUNCHMEAT! I cannot eat even the thin shaved ham! It always gets stuck. We went to eat Chinese food the other night and I had Pad Thai and that got stuck too. I had to excuse myself and go to the restroom to vomit it up...i can eat pasta, but it has to have a sauce that goes down good. The pad thai noodles were dry and not very gummy!
