It seems today I'm tight. I haven't been like this from my fill on Tuesday until today. I've only gotten down 1/4 cup turkey sausage crumbles, water, and about 5 chicken pieces (small strips) today. Nothing else will go down. Any suggestions?

Sometimes after a fill I have to take it much slower than it sounds like you are. Dense meat is way too solid sometimes right after a fill. Try chili, cottage cheese, yogurt and things like that, then very slowly work your way back to denser stuff.

That's my point tho. Wed-fri was fine. So weird..

chicken can be a very difficult food for the band.

One thing you will learn is that your band seems to have a mind of it's own. There have been days on end when I could eat chicken, salmon even steak with no problem. Then I may go a week where the same foods get stuck. eggs clog me up and I slime. It's a good thing. If this is your first stuck episode you should be celebrating. Listen to your band and look for fullness and satiety.

Fills sometimes don't kick in until days to weeks after. It is not uncommon to be able to eat for a while and then tighen up.

I welcome those days...makes up for the days there is less restriction.

I have gone complete 24hr periods with no eating at all.

Most of the time is because I'm simply not interested in eating. That simple.

I just go with it. I never worry about counting calories. just listening to my band.

Get your Water, Protein (Sometime liquid) Vitamins, etc....daily requirements.

I understand, I had my second fill and now I have to learn what foods really work well with the band, and some days I can eat chicken and just seems normal, next day instantly stuck and only soup works. I know that drinking a hot tea helps loosen things up a bit, and for me that seems good other than that, like someone else said above I just try to work with the flo..good luck!
