I recently got my first fill in over 8 months. Well I can eat food with no problem, I have the restriction and feel full fast and am not eating too much. But, I can not drink any liquids especially cold ones with out having to make myself puke. I get horrible pains and pressure in my stomach especially around my port. Not sure if I am too tight or if something else is wrong. I plan on calling my Drs office on Monday, but until then, has anyone else had this problem?

Cold liquids go down hard in the morning when I take synthroid. I'll drink a cup of warm Water with it. Your band may be a tiny tad too tight. Until you speak with whomever, stick with warm liquids. Room temp may also be more comfortable.

I cannot drink while eating...I know some believe it because it washes food down...for me, it is because the food is sitting there passing through the band slowly, and if I add Water it increases the volume instantly and has nowhere to go but up and out.

BTW, this was a trick I used when I would get stuck...sip some water.

Also to this day, I cannot gulp water down...sometimes I forget this especially while at the gym.

drinking while eating has never been an option for me. like B52 if I try that my food comes back up. I have to wait at least 20 minutes or more before I drink. I thought that would be a problem for me before my surgery but honestly it's just second nature now.
