Alot of people are saying that they can go back to eating like they used to about 4 weeks after surgery becasue they don't have a fill.... is this true?

I had a PB post-op before a fill.
Whether or not it happens to someone will depend on their anatomy. The band itself, without fill, does provide some restriction - how much depends on the size of your organs and the inside diameter of the band.
In addition to that, post-op swelling can cause more restriction because it's that much more mass to fit in an ungrowing space.

Yes you can have a pb before a fill. Everyone experiences the band a little diffrently. I don't know if it was 4 weeks after surger but you can eat more and more until your next fill.

Productive Burp is what it is called. Actually to me it felt like the 3 bites of cottage cheese I had was going down hard down my throat then developed into what felt like a hiccup slowly coming back up. I think I hiccuped three times before the actual slim started flowing out of my mouth. I then, did it two more times and it stopped. I trashed the rest of the cottage cheese and haven't tried it again since then. I have no idea where the slime comes from.

The slime is your body's way of trying to "lubricate" a blockage.
As for what's a PB, search - you'll find HUNDREDS of explanations and details. Or see this thread.

Actually, I lost more before the fill since I was doing the post op regimen, once I got my first fill I found a way to cheat the band and started drinking a bunch of no-nos, so I guess my point is to get ready to change your eating habits even if you don't have a fill.

| I didn't actually PB but I got The Golfball when I took a post-op antibiotic capsule and hadn't let it soak in water long enough to soften up. It hurt like heck and I don't want to have to experience that again. Sadly, I'm sure it will happen. I've had a couple of close calls here on the mushies stage but if I slow down, take smaller bites and PAY ATTENTION it's much, much better.
maryb - I'm eating cottage cheese right now! No problems so far. If you like cottage cheese, wait awhile and give it another try. I didn't realize how good the protein to carbohydrate ratio is on cottage cheese. I think I like it better just for knowing that! lol

DonnaB, Are you eating Fat free Cottage Cheese? I tried the one that comes with fruit on the side. I think it was way too thick. I thought maybe fat free with milk to thin would be ok to try.
