After my last fill which was 4 days ago I still can't eat solid protein unless I force myself to keep it down. I can eat some deli meats, but even that rough and I can do one thin slice. So other then my 24 hour liquids after my fill all I can eat is salad and curtons and my piece of deli meat. I plan on trying fish tomorrow. Only because I still don't feel I have that much restriction in my band but is that only because I can't get the protein in? Can anyone think of any other sources of protein besides chicken/turkey and shakes?

The band relys on firm protein to keep it busy and us full....if you can't tolerate firm proteins then I strongly advise you to get a small unfill while it is still time to get it for free. Even 0.15 ml unfill may be enough to put uou at your sweet spot. I am afraid you will resort to high calorie slider food if you don't get a small unfill.

Let us know what you do.

Try fish. I like tilapia. Bake it with some marinade (whatever you like) and then I kind of mush it up and chew well. Tuna fish salad, Egg salad, chicken salad. Chew, chew, chew. Keep trying things also. For me some days I can eat chicken fine and then the next it comes up. If you still can't get stuff down, I would say ask the doctor. Maybe a small unfill is needed! Good Luck!
