The best thing to do in this situation is to stop trying to eat or drink and suck crushed ice. The ice helps to reduce the swelling and eventually eases it enough that you can get Water down again. Also the melting ice helps to keep you hydrated. You should also try to relax as much as possible and not panic although that can be easier said than done.

I was banded in February and I am still learing! I tried low carb, too much sodium for me. I tried weight watchers, not enogh restriction, so now I am counting caloires, carbs, protien and fibers. I eat only right portions. BUT...I cant seem to stay away from slider foods on the weekends. The weekdays are great and easy i take my food to work, i am not allowed to leave work for 730-5 and we have no vending machines. BUT on the weekends i seriously need help. I can lose 5pounds m-f and gain 4-6 on the weekend! HELP. does anyone have any ideas for me? Maybe if I eat more Protein Bars during the weekend i wont be tempted to eat more? What kind of Protein bars do yall reccomend? I need low carb.

I have the exact same problem. I can lose in the week and come the weekend I gain. I have been the same weight for 2 months. I lose 2 and gain 2. I know what I am doing wrong. I started eating sugar again. Plus I have never gotten stuck or vomited so I feel like I can eat anything. It is a total mental thing with me. It is a vicious cycle I need to get off.
