Holy Stuck Episodes!!!!

And yes, I said episodeS... :blink:

 

I got my 2nd fill yesterday, 2 1/2 cc's, and things were OK. I stuck with liquids last night, no problems.

 

I had egg beaters for breakfast (maybe 2 - 2 1/2 oz) and, oh my gosh. let's just say they weren't as tasty the 2nd time. yes, slimy, yucky stuff came out... a few times... Mind you, this is at work...and in the garbage can at my desk. Thankfully, I'm not loud.

 

Sooo, I played it safe & had some yogurt a few hours later because my stomach was growling at me. That went down OK.

 

Several hours later, I was still hungry because I didn't really have much in the way of protein, so I tried to have a Southbeach PB protein snack, which I've had in the past. Holy 2ND stuck episode people!!! Hey, you'd be proud as I made it to the ladies room this time. I know, impressive.

 

WTH! Obviously, here it is dinner time, and I'm afraid to eat anything. But, I know I need to suck down some protein in the very least. I don't want to read into this & think that I might need an unfill yet. The NP that did my 2nd fill yesterday said that she called this the OH CRAP fill because I'd be able to tell the difference from the 1st fill (which I couldn't notice). Um, yea!

 

I'm going to journal what I eat tomorrow & see how things go. It could be that I ate too fast & didn't chew the eggs, or the PB snack enough. I have been known to inhale food in the past, so I'll be mindful of that. The other thing is that maybe I also need to space my food intake further out... wait longer to eat the next snack or meal. I'm going to keep an eye on this before I panic.

 

I hope the newbies learn from this, in a good way. CHEW CHEW CHEW (no, apparently I didn't learn from my 1st stuck episode a week ago)..

 

"Honey, where's my protein drink!"

 

xoxo everyone! B)

Usually after a fill my doc has me on liquids for 48 hours post fill. All of our surgeons are different and have different requirements. My last fill it to me over a week before I was able to eat a cup of food and not PB but with time and patience and remembering to chew I learned to eat again.

OMG! that stinks. I had my first fill on Friday. I was on liquids for 3 days and then soft foods for 3 and tomorrow I start stage 5 for life.

Maybe you were suppose to have just liquids not any foods at the beginning. Feel better.

OH my..I remember those days when I first got banded..still going thru it now but not as bad anymore..I would just suggest protein shakes for a day..but if it continues to bother you..you need to seriously get an unfill..good luck..
