I have just had my third fill, and wow, what a difference. Before now, I didn't really apply my eating properly once I recovered from the surgery. I was able to take bigger bites and eat faster, as long as I didn't take a huge bite of something I was okay.
Well, after my liquid phase was over (dr requires 2 days of liquids after fills), I started eating, took too big of a bite, and got stuck. It passed after about a half hour of sliming and pain.
I also think I'm going to be one of those tight people in the morning. I tried to take my medicine when I got up, which I have had no trouble with before, and it seemed like it had a little trouble going down. I may have to take these with warm Water now.
I loosened up a bit later, but now I understand about why bandsters can't eat certain foods. Right now I can't eat doughy bread, even if I take mini bites and chew well. I feel a little tight still, but I think getting stuck may have made my band mad, LOL and caused some swelling. I'm sticking to liquids and mushies for a couple of days. If I can't eat normal healthy foods after a week, I'll call the dr and see if he thinks I need an unfill.

Just wanted to post about my new experience!
