Thank you all so much for your support. I did drink some coffee and it went down, or atleast I think it was. I called my doctor and she said that it might not have been that it was stuck, but that I was experiencing the feeling of being too full for the first time since being banded. She said "you will know when it's stuck, it will feel like a burning in your chest". So, hoping I won't experience that and going to be wayyy more cautious to make sure it doesn't happen. I gave my mother a copy of the guidelines for her to have and I'm back home doing good now. I've lost 8 pounds in 5 days so I'm excited about that. Thank you everyone for your advice, I greatly appreciate it and the support. I am going to get some of these papaya enzymes everyone keeps talking about, just in case I do get in that situation. Also, about the coffee thing. My surgeon told me to ALWAYS start the day off with a hot liquid, it helps open the band. And they told me that coffee was totally fine, but it may be different with some surgeons, I don't know. No disrespect though.....

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
