Got a lap band in 2008. Tried hard, but didn't lose much weight & developed swallowing problems. Fought my insurance company for almost a year & finally had a band to DS revision on 5/11/12. Have now lost 125 pounds. Yay!

Hi Shelli,

If hot liquids aren't comfortable, try warm. Go slowly and I'm sure it will be fine.

Wishing you continued success,

Barb

Hey Shelli...make sure tea is decaf as cafeine can mess u up too.   Hope things are better!

I haven't had the surgery, but I know that peppermint tea is supposed to help soothe the gastro-intestinal track.  It's caffeine free too.  If you grow fresh peppermint in your garden, as many people do here in the South, just pull off a few leaves, crush them in the bottom of a cup and pour ho****er on them.  Then let them seep, add a little Splenda if you'd like and sip.  It's easy to find mint tea in teabags too, if you don't have any fresh mint.
Hope that helps,
