So, I flew from Seattle to Chicago yesterday, did fine eating last night. This morning, I got stuck on a tiny bite of scrambled egg. Ended up with very runny oatmeal, very slowly, and that seems to be ok. I have read that the band seems to tighten with flight, but can anyone give me an idea how long it stays tight? The other problem I may have is getting a soft enough diet the rest of today and tomorrow after being stuck today. I am with a tour group and we have pretty set menus for the next couple of days. Any suggestions?

Seriously? This has been viewed 96 times and not one person has any advice? I am shocked. Well, I've been stuck, or close to being stuck, at almost every meal since I arrived Monday. If I don't lose weight on this trip, my body is simply incapable of it! Walking miles a day, eating a quarter of what I have been used to...you would think it would be inevitable, right?

Sounds like you are too tight. You should go see your Dr.

any way you can get to a store or vitamin shop to pick up portable protien shots? i would recomend u stick to liquids for the first day or so and let the guide know that you are having issues. they are there to help

I know I have to try to have soft food for a day if I've been stuck. Protein drinks. Even like "boost" are usually available at drug stores . once my band is irritated I have to be diligent. Good luck to you. Hope you get some results!

Thanks, I have been doing what I can as far as getting protein drinks in and just going very slowly with food. Today was finally better, but still being careful. Does anyone know if this will continue after I fly home?
