Thanks Judy. I am a little nervous to go a few weeks without restriction. My doctor doesn't want to do a fill too quickly, wants to allow time for healing, I guess. My next appt. is Feb 8, hopefully I will get something then, I am starving. Luckily this first 3 months did become habit.. so I am still eating like I have been, with smaller portions. I'll just keep up like I was, minus the chicken salad. lol..
omg...that sounds horrible.. just horrible. i have not ever had that much pain with my band...and hope i don't lol... but so sorry you've got that problem. i hope it doesn't happen to you again. my biggest problem is that it's not such a problem with a chunk but what happens to me is the food turns to a paste and causes a plug. my 'stuck' is always in my pouch, never in my throat area.
That sounds pretty similar. The food was just stuck in my pouch. Everyone else talks about it stuck in their throats. It was horrible. So here goes "willpower" again. Ah, I can do it.. got goals to meet.
THanks for this honest information. Good luck with the progression. I'm at 6 weeks now so this is helpful. Great job on the 56#
