So Frustrated!

I went in 3 wks ago for a fill, since then I've been getting stuck, having heartburn. I mean geez, what can I eat? I go in and tell the dr I got stuck and he asks what did you get stuck on and I tell him chicken and he says yea most people can't eat chicken well then what the heck are we supposed to eat? This morning I cooked a scrambled egg and piece of toast, got stuck after 3 bites of toast and 3/4's of the egg, there again, my question is, what the heck are we to eat? Prior to getting my fill I was constantly hungry, getting hungry between meals and not losing so I needed the fill, maybe it was too much of a fill, idk. I am to go in for a fill or to see him on the 28th. I just don't know what the green zone is and what it feels like. I mean I can go 4 hrs between meals sometimes more depending on what I eat but this month since my fill I have found myself eating slider foods like soups (like homemade chicken taco soup or bean soup). I gag at the thought of eating hamburger meat and chewing it because of gristles so I don't do that anymore. The last time I had a pork chop was a couple of wks ago and got stuck. I'm sick of fish as that is all I eat and I love chicken. I'm so frustrated!

    Better board the chew chew train!! And Also remember not to take bites bigger than a fingernail. Sounds crazy, I know, but once you get used to it, it will become second nature

I agree maybe a small unfill is in order.....my surgeon told me that reflux is a sure sign of being too tight. I'm with laurigee, I want to decide what I eat, not my band...Best Wishes Donna :)
