The doctor today put back in 1.6 of the 1.0cc's that he removed in January. That's not a typo...I got .6cc's more than I had when I was too tight. Am I scared?--you bet! But, Dr. Steinburg had me swallow the barium mix 3 times and swore that it all looked "perfect." So, I'll give it a shot. At least I know I can get in to see him if things go wrong (unlike my previous doctor).
He says things look good and I should see him again in 6 weeks. I'm on liquids for the next 2 days and soft foods for another 2 days after that. He wants me to baby the band and make sure that there are no repercussions from my nausea & vomiting last week.
So, I stocked up on Mix 1 protein drinks and Slim Fast. I'm about to throw some sweet potatoes & butternut squash in the oven to make soup and I have a pot of home-made vegetable/beef soup simmering on the stove.
Back to basics, y'all!

I am glad you feel better about getting into your doctor's office. It makes a HUGE difference to be confident they can help you. Good luck! I have never had a baruim swallow. I am going to ask for one! We were banded the same day!
Fingers crossed.....
