I eat Fiber Gummies every day - 3 of them. They are chewy and tasty and keep me from getting constipated (they even have them at Costco for a great price).

Thanks for your input. It has now been a week since my fill. I stayed on liquids for 5 days to let everything settle down. If I try to eat solids now I can only keep 3 or 4 small bites down (unless I wash them down with hot liquids). I will probably just give it a couple more days and then maybe have a small unfill.

I had my surgery 9-17-10. Yesterday I got a fill and am still having problems but am not sure if my band is still too full or not. I had to go back and have 1.5 ccs taken out because I couldn't swallow my spit or any liquid. I was throwing up all this weird foamy stuff. Even after getting the 1.5 out I still feel a lot of chest pain and have been scared to do anything except drink liquids. Occasionally I am still throwing up a little bit of foamy stuff and my chest feels better as soon as I throw up. Do I need to have more taken out? How dow I know if it is too full? I would really appreciate feedback from anyone who has been through something like this.

I had my surgery September 17 at OCC and they use an 11 cc band.

Congratulations! When did you have your first fill? Was it done at OCC?

I was also terrified I wouldn't lose the weight I needed to - that is probably a common fear since we pretty much all have issues with food. I did the 7 day protein shakes and green salads, and it was tough but not terrible. You will do great!

I was banded September 17th and am just wondering how everyone else who had surgery the same day is doing. How is the recovery? How's the liquid diet going? Incisions okay?
