Oh My Stars, I Can't Eat Anything!!!

Hey everyone,

I had my band for four months now and have been doing very well on my journey. Last tuesday I had my 3rd fill. Since then, I have not been able to eat anything! Cold and hot liquids don't bother me much,,,, as long as I'm drinking ssssslllllllooooooowwwwwww. But if I try to eat mushy foods, after the first 1/2 teaspoon, I feel stuck. Stuck, stuck, stuck. And it takes at least an hour to feel ok again. I'm having hiccups and pb,,, if pb's are that mucus stuff that comes up when I feel stuck. Anyhow,,, should I have my surgeon take some liquids out or should I grin and bare it. I actually don't feel hungry, I think I'm head hungry.

My last question is,,,, is my understanding of pb correct?

Your a little tight, I would suggest you tell your doctor if you are still unable to eat solids by Monday. If you can drink liquids please try some protein shakes even if you have to thin them out a little more so you get some nutrition. Do not grin and bare it! The purpose of the band is not to restrict you from eating, it is to help you learn portion control and curb the normal hunger feeling that goes along with cuting back you calorie intake. If you leave the band too tight and continue to PB and reflux you can damage your band and your health.

I know my doc has told me he or his partner is available 24 hours and will meet me at the office at anytime if I get restricted. I work for docs and someone should always be on call for the clinic... it's your health, don't be afraid to call him for advice.

Thank u to everyone that gave me advice. I was able to eat mushy foods today without getting stuck at all. I'm still going to contact my dr in the am, just to let him know what's been going on and follow his direction to the tee! I am soooo glad that I have the support of my fellow bandsters because it just feels like I am so alone in this journey at times. Hagn everyone!

    • I’ve used my Xbox for exercise games too and it can be pretty motivating, especially on days when I don’t want to leave the house. Kinect games really do make you move, and after a session with kickboxing or dancing, I always feel like I’ve actually gotten a solid workout. The controller-free setup feels way more natural for workouts than anything I tried on the Wii. Zumba is fun but definitely takes a little time to get the moves right. Lately, when I’m not working out, I spend time trading CS2 skins and finding new guides on this link. There’s a lot of interesting tips if you’re into games outside of fitness too.
