Hi -

Banded on 10/21 - everything has gone well. I am at the blended/pureed stage and falling the rules. Tonight I pureed beef broccoli and had about 3/4 cup pre puree. I feel like there is something stuck in my throat. I have had Water and nothing. It is not painful nor do I feel like vomiting. Is this band related? Any feedback would be so appreciated!

Thanks!

Yes, that is normal, sounds like maybe you had too much (food was backed up into your esophagus).

That's how I felt when I had too much sweet potatoes! My nutritionist told me to keep Papaya Enzymes on hand, they will add with your digestion. They are chewable, and taste GREAT! Hope you are feeling better.

What else are you eating? I was banded 10/23/08 and under the impression I had to be on this clear diet for a WEEK and then liquid another week. I couldnt take it anymore. I been going with how I feel. Slowly with Soups, then cottage cheese (which I HATE) and now I Had an egg today.

Good luck
