Guest guest Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 If this is only a one-or-two day event, don't worry at all. If the loss of restriction is more like a week and not changing at all, then it's time to think about WHY. You have given us no clues at all ! When were you banded? What is your fill history? Time for another fill? Overeating during the vacation and enlatging your pouch? Eating only solid protein and veggies now, so you're honestly testing the full? ???

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 -Dan, i have a 4cc Inamed band..there is no leaking, my dr is Dr nickolson at baylor. i can eat just about anything but bread. i have to mentally stop myself from eating more than i know i should. Everything looks good on the fluro...its all there and in working order....they havent gave me barium since pre surgery and i hope i never have to take it again! made me deathy ill! i eat normal food. chicken and salad mostly...no bread...little fruit.i like to eat celery and peanut butter as a snack .i refrain from sweets although i do have a fat free yogurt from braums once a week and have 1 taco with a side order of beans once a week. i try to drink at least 60oz of water a day. laura , Dan Lester <honu@g...> wrote: > What kind of band?
