Ok, I have been banded since July 29, 2009. I have lost 24lbs which is good to me. I got my 3rd fill last Tuesday and since then I have only been able to eat like mushy stuff or soup. If I eat any kind of normal food it gets stuck & ends up coming back up most of the time. I have never thrown up until this last week. I am able to keep my protein drinks down but it usually takes me about 30 minutes to an hour to drink them. I can eat mashed potatoes, beans, etc and they go down fine but if there is anything that is not mushy I can't eat it. Does anyone have any ideas of some foods I might can eat b/c I am sick of mashed potatoes & refried beans. One good side to this is I have lost 4 lbs in the last week. Thanks for any help you might can give me.

It sounds like you need a wee bit of an un-fill. You should be able to eat normal food at restriction. Definitely call your doctor about this -- you don't want to damage your band!

I agree I had a small unfill 2day as I had the same as you, Im feeling much better and dinner didnt get stuck. If you dont get one you will start to eat wrong foods an put back on the lbs

until you can get a tiny unfill... I like ricotta cheese with a little marinera sauce - YUM! like lasgna without the lasgna (hahaha)
