Liquids don't really do the trick during an episode. Walking helps me, once it passes then I drink some water and go on liquids for the next meal juuust to play it safe!

I can't eat in the morning. I usually have a shake or try (try) to get a light yogurt down. 99% it's the shake. I'm ok to eat maybe 1 or 2 which is my typical lunch time anyway. Bands tend to be tight in the morning. I see so w people drink something warm to loosen it? I prefer the shake. I don't want to loosen it

Doesn't hurt at all!!! It takes 2 or 3 mins (and i may be stretching that) and your done, it takes me longer to walk from the parking lot and up to his office then it takes to get a fill. I feel nothing.

I would ask your doctor as each Dr is different, my doctor told me it didn't make a difference what I ate, as long as it's been about 1 hour between food and fill.

Daisy I'm also on the 6 small meals a day and it's not easy, these suckers are indeed small. I do find it easier to do. 3oz chicken is one meal. Amazing.

Right on!!! That's awesome news Keep it up Buddy!!

Mine seems to be so so different No pre op 3-4days liquid 3-4 days soft Then reg diet... Going back to soft if I couldn't deal w reg. I don't think I could have done more than a week liquid w out killing someone lol

I'm the same way w bread... Unless its toasted I won't even dare! BTDT and do not want to deal w the bread being stuck!

I went for my 1st fill about a month or so after my surgery & I went back every 4-5 weeks. I missed all last year due to insurance issues, but started again this year, same schedule every 4-5 weeks. Your doctor will give you a "fill schedule" Good luck!!!

It depends on your Dr on how many cc's you get, it doesn't hurt 1 bit. Small needle... Takes literally all of 1 minute, and I'm prob stretching that out.

3 years since surgery and never had to crush pills. I did change the x I took them. 8pm is my Vitamin,Biotin hour now.

I can't explain it but it happened to me this week. Fill on Tuesday AM, was fine w food wed and thurs am. As if I had no restriction. Then bam it hit me like a ton of freaking bricks. The dr said sometimes it takes a while??? The human body, go figure!!' I had to have a slight un-fill yest.

Shrimp is actually a tough food to eat if it's overcooked, can become very hard... Did u pop the whole shrimp in ur mouth or take bites of it? I have to cut my shrimp up and eat it piece by piece if I don't cook it myself... Good luck on your journey and eat slow & chew chew chew.

I never had a prob before, my dr encourages juicing bc we don't get enough veggies & fruits in our (little) diet lol. Just have to remember to hold off juicing so close to a fill. I love love juicing. But I will never ever make this mistake again... Ever
