:phanvan OK here's my problem and I am anticipating the scolding. I was banded Nov. 8 and after four days of strict clear liquids I ate some chunky soup, what a mistake! It was stuck and I began to heave and I thought I would choke. I never threw anything up but it dislodged. My problem is since then I have been very hungry and can eat large amounts of food, and just a side note if I could control my eating I wouldn't have the band in the first place. I am scared it has slipped and I have a pouch, I started liquids today and plan to be committed until I return to the dic on Dec. 7. Do you think I have caused serious damage, should I move up my appt?

Lisa, without a fill you should be able to eat a lot of food and be hungry. You need a fill. Most likely your surgeon will tell you to get one at 6 weeks. What you are experiencing is normal. I'm sure your band is fine. Please stick to the diet the remainder of the time. No more chunky soup. Eat creamy soups. Anything that fits through a straw. Good luck.
