Had my band may 2012. I am down about 70 pounds. For the last few weeks I am really struggling with food. I also have not been able to eat most veggies and salad since my surgery. Dr drained the liquid out if my band tonight. Has me on a month of nexium and in 3 weeks going for an upper g I series test. Anyone have any issues like this?

Slider foods can be my problem. Ice cream, puddings, flavored coffee, anything that would just slide through the pouch. You will never have that full feeling eating these foods.

Even solid foods like chips, crackers, lasagna qualify as slider foods. It's not that we shouldn't eat them, it's OK to eat them, we just need to make sure their calories are counted towards our daily goal.

i agree.......we are not dieting......merely making better choices and letting the band say when...
