OK, I had my band filled Monday. I can barely eat, it took me an hour and a half to get down one scrambled egg, that was with all of the sliming and spitting in between, an probably three bites of refried beans. What the heck? At first I thought I was just swollen but I am on my fourth day of this. I can hardly drink anything. Like I have had probably 8 ounces of water in two days, I can't make myself drink because it hurts.... Should I ride it out or am I too tight?

Have you tried drinking before you eat anything like the eggs in the am? I can get the eggs down in the am but only a couple bites if I drink first then wait the 1 minutes. My doc said it's normal to be tighter in the am and drinking will help open it up so can eat solids like eggs. If after you try that then could just be that is the thing you can't eat well in the am like me. I can eat them later though, try later in the day and see if you have the same result.

I am greatful for your comment. I just had my third fill on monday. I was concerned if I was too tight because I can only get down 2 ounces of meat and I am hiccupping. I can eat egg whites ok. but I am not able to get my nutrients in how do I .
