ohhhh man

I can't eat!!  tried some refried beans and banana and have been slimeing all morning...only too 3 bites.  need to figure this out.

Ugh - I'm sorry you are going through this. I don't know much about the band - but with RNY - this can also be caused by eating too fast or not chewing enough....also you were eating mushy stuff.

I got sick last night after one bite of steak, so I thought I'd eat mushies today, well, guess that wasn't good enough, i'm staying on liquids today.  I'm starving.

WOW! Sound like you've got some kinda restriction going on!  Even though it's mushy stuff, wonder if you are eating too fast or something?  I hope you get it figured out!  It'll surely slow you down though won't it?   I'll be thinking about you!  Keep us posted!!!! 
Hugs!

So sorry to hear your having such a rough time:-( Do you have a tiny jelly spoon or a baby spoon? If not maybe it would help right now. Go real slow Cheryl. Start with just fluids if you can and add mushies in a few days. Hope it eases up a little for you.

Woo hoo you are  really getting some restriction.

so sorry you are not   able to eat hard protein  but  alot of us cant eat hard protein for a bit and maybe you will be that way with  the sweet spot.

Hope all goes  well.

Have a great sunday

So sorry about the starving..... But It does sound like some restriction... Good luck and keep us posted!!

hey, guys, I had a cup of coffee, relaxed a little, my throat is raw, from coughing all night and morning.  then had 1/2 cup of cream of broc. soup, and a few pretzels, all went down well.  I'm taking this really slow and working on my eating technique.  Its been so long I kind stopped being slow and chewing, now I HAVE TO.... Hope the scale moves now, cause I'll be pissed off if I'm doing all this for nothing.  I"m also calling my pcp about my cholestr. tomorrow.  Hope your all having a good weekend.  Been cleaning, cooking, had company again, playing cards.  Lots of fun being in bathroom too.

Sounds like a fun weekend!  I guess it's good that at least you are feeling something from your band!  It's too bad you're having to re-learn everything though!  I KNOW you'll figure it out!
Hugs!

Yes, the band is finally doing what it is supposed to, I think.  I would stick to protein shakes, if I were you. You are bound to be dropping the weight now!! And make sure you are getting the fluids and if you are trying meats, chew chew chew!!
