Got my first fill yesterday 2cc in my 10cc band, guess my grits were a little too thick this morning. After about 10 bites the next one felt like it was sitting at the top of my throat, didn't yak but sure had a lot of PB's. This is restriction, right?

Laddie..... bet they were the pack if instant grits.... I can't eat them either. The first few months i could then one morning after about fill number 4.... (14cc band).... up then came along with the coffee...

New Me.... never heard of that.... my dr said i could have oatmeal in the mushy stage.... too bad i don't eat oatmeal.

Like is said before..... lots of trial and error.... one day you will be eating pizza... then the next after a fill... you wont

Good luck

2 cc's for first fill, may be short lived, could even be inflamation which will clear shortly. But don't fret, that's how it goes untill you get it adjusted properly.

I am guessing its swelling from the fill. I have had two fills and both times I felt restriction for a few weeks and then it subsided. I have some restriction but not at green zone yet. My third fill is tomorrow! Wish me luck! I'm down 35 lbs. Banded 10/12/11.

New Me: I just came back from my 1st PO visit with surgeon and nutritionist after having surgery last Friday and I his recommendations also say we can have oatmeal on Stage II diet. However, I have noticed on this site there are different rules for different docs so it's best to check again and make sure and stick to what your doctor requires. I have to say, I am looking forward to having oatmeal tomorrow morning as it has some substance.

My nut said anything that will fit through a straw (if you were to use one) was allowed, but again go with your doctor.

Yes ! go with your Doctor...

I'm kinda thinking swelling. You'll see if in a week maybe, that you will be able to swallow that. Restriction is just like that though.

Just a little more permanint "GOD i NEED SPELLCHECK FOR THIS SITE." It will come in time.

Thank you all for replying, the more experienced Bandsters I believe you're right. It was swelling cause I haven't had any problems since yesterday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
