Hello. I feel great today! I lost 15lbs since February 27 2015. No pain no gas. Can't wait till my doctors appt next Monday.

That's great mine is on April 6. I can't wait

So you had surgery already?

I had surgery March 2, 2015 and I was gassy like crazy. Just getting over it! Had food stuck once and had to call 911! It really makes You panic like your having a heart attack! Just take it slow and eat very very slowly

Food stucks episodes are what I'm afraid off. How can I avoid it and it it happens what should I do?

I'm confused on the "stuck" thing. I have eaten reheated chicken and it didn't go down well. Is this getting stuck? I'm confused....

I haven't try to eat nothing solid yet. Nurse told me liquids for two weeks. Third week purée food. Fourth solid but CHEW CHEW CHEW the food.

Lefted over food is not good to eat. I realize I have to cook everyday. The choking is because you're not chewing it good enough

Hello ladies... I had lap band on March 11th!!! Can't wait to start soft foods. This liquid diet if killing me.

I am from NY.
