I had a fill about a month ago and have been doing fine with most foods. Today on the other hand is not going so well, I literally can't eat anything! I'm thinking about going back to liquids cause I can't even get mushy foods to pass. Any suggestions?

Call your doctor tomorrow and get an unfill. Try to get in liquids until then.

Your stomach is just another muscle that is susceptible to swelling just like the rest of your body. Think about the lapband as if it were a ring around your finger? If your body(finger) swells due to TOM, sodium, alcohol, carbs(complex and simple), stress and anxiety, so can the gastric lining of your stomach. This can be the perfect time of year for most all of the swelling reasons previously mentioned. The lining of your stomach can swell making the stoma a very small opening for solids to pass through.

Go back to liquids, cut back on sodium, alchohol and sugar. If tomorrow is the same as today, call your doc. Just my opinion of course.

Thanks TMF, I think you are right! Between some poor food choices and the holidays. It might just be catching up with me!
