I'm doing pretty well food-wise since my fill yesterday, but I've had heartburn all day today since I woke up. It goes away when I'm eating. I'm a little concerned, because it either means that I'm too tight, or it can indicate band slippage. I'm torn, because on one hand, I WANT this restriction. On the other hand, I can't handle it if this heartburn continues, it was okay for the first few hours, but this is over 12 hours now and it's really getting to me. I tried calling Karen (my NP) today, as she asked me to call and check in today, but she didn't get back to me. I really don't want to get an unfill because of all the fuss I've went through to get to this point, and I'm terrified of getting an unfill and being even less restricted than before.
What I ate yesterday:
1 bowl of Lucky Charms before my fill
1 Sugar Free Dulce de Leche pudding cup
Total 1.5 cups of cream of carrot soup spread out over 2-3 hours; 1/2 cup at a time
Today:
About 1/2 cup of a protein shake attempt (chocolate protein powder, yogurt, 1/2 banana, and a little peanut butter) - wasn't too good, actually
2 bites of chicken salad VERY well chewed; I bought some today and really wanted to try it and was careful about it
1/2 cup carrot soup for lunch
3 more bites of chicken salad
I didn't measure my dinner carrot soup, but it wasn't more than 1 cup, maybe less
1 SF Dulce de Leche pudding cup
Still pretty good overall, my only real hunger is head hunger, it always drives me nuts just knowing I CAN'T have something.
I definitely didn't drink enough today, the heartburn is actually discouraging me from drinking I think.
I'll keep posting about this and let ya'll know what happens with the heartburn.
HOLY MOLY!! I miss you all!!!!

the amounts you are eating now are the amounts a bander is supposed to eat. only a few slowly chewed bites. i know it seems hard to believe. but some times it will be looser and you can eat and drink more. you have to get the head hunger under control, or in my case just learn to live with it. i too want to continue to eat just purely for the flavor after i am full. as for the heartburn, maybe it is just you adjusting to the fill.
