With help of the band stupidity is self correcting. I got go a head to eat reg. Diet ha I tried shrimp which I love boiled. Got a little crazy and tried to over eat and to fast. Now I knw what it feels like. I almost vomited. Never again.

Welcome to banded life. I cut shrimp into tiny pieces. It can be a difficult thing to eat.

I have been banded since October...I am still teaching myself to eat slower and smaller bites. LOL I hate being "stuck" so I know one of these days the lesson will stick

I havent had a fill yet was banded on 11/30. First fill this week on 1/28. I'm alittle bit nervous worried that I'll have these stuck episodes people talk about. But have probably been eating to much without a fill So i'm looking forward to having a bit more control over my eating.

I am nearly 4 years banded. Sitting waiting for a piece of ham to go down or maybe come up. Some of us never learn (self!).

Yep....I throw up a lot (usually from eating too fast/too large bites). The first couple of times were very scary....now I welcome that relief when I'm stuck. Lean over the sink, cough and *up it comes*.
