ok so i got my second fill on 1-24-07. my total fill is 3.4 and have been eating solids since last friday, my question is every time i eat something i feel it going down, it almost feels like its getting stuck and is bothersome but it does not hurt, but then i can feel it pass. I have not have any pb yet, but i do get slimmie. I chew my food really good but that still happens. Do you guys think im to tight or will i be ok in the near future. i just don't want to damage my band!! any advise will be appreciated.

I would take it very easy with food, and stick to mushies for a few days, let your stomach fully calm down. If you don't allow it to settle you take a risk of starting an evil cycle of eating, and causing swelling to make you PB, then it happens each time you eat. Better to take it slow a few days longer, let it relax, and adjust to the new fill, and then start in with solids slowly again and see if it helps. Never a good idea to court a PB!!! Good Luck!!

Also - Take the tiniest possible bite and Chew it till your jaw aches...try chewing even more than you ever thought you could when you do start with solids again.
