I had a fill Thursday. Now when I drink cold stuff it makes me really tight. It takes a lot longer to go down, and sometimes it's really uncomfortable.

Any ideas?

Drink water at room temp. Is food going down okay?

Generally, cold makes swelling go down. That's why you ice a swollen ankle. For some reason it's seems to work opposite with lapband. Try drinking something hot until it loosens up!

Yes, food goes down fine. I do drink room temp but it's hot outside and cold water is so refreshing. Ugh.

I understand the heat! I live in Texas and it has been in the 100's for a month. I do drink coffee (decaf if you don't want the caffeine) or you could drink tea first then try a cold beverage. I would be miserable without my ice cold water!

I cant either, six years on. Really cold stuff sets off painful cramps for me. I dont eat ice cream either and if I fancy a yogurt, I get it out of the fridge and leave it sit for half an hour to warm up. If I eat canned fruit that's been in the fridge, I nuke it for a few seconds to warm it up a bit. Cold stuff and my lapband do not get along, its something you adjust to. I never liked ice cream much anyhow, so its no big deal to me.

Oh my gosh! Wow. Well, it's good that I'm not the only person with this. But six years later... Well, ok. I handle being skinny drinking lukewarm Water. :-)
